Veteran quarterback Garrett Gilbert almost lead Dallas Cowboys to a win against the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but this won’t be enough for him to keep the starting job. According to Dallas’ executive vice president Stephen Jones, Andy Dalton will retake his spot as Cowboys’ starter as soon as he becomes available.

Dalton had an unfortunate past couple of weeks, first suffering a concussion against Washington and then testing positive for COVID-19. This opened up an opportunity for Gilbert, who started against the Steelers and managed the game well while also throwing for 243 yards and a touchdown.

Speaking on 105.3 The Fan on Monday, Jones praised Gilbert’s performance but quickly removed any doubt about the team’s commitment to Dalton.

“When he’s cleared, we fully expect him to step in as our starter,” said Jones.

In order for Dalton to resume his place under center, he’ll need to get a negative COVID-19 test while also being cleared of the concussion.

Andy Dalton signed with Dallas in the offseason to be a backup for Dak Prescott. But following Prescott’s season-ending injury, the three-time Pro Bowler got the opportunity to lead the Cowboys’ offense and show that he can still be a starter in this league.

So far, however, Dalton was far from impressive. He has only 452 passing yards and one touchdown in four games while throwing three interceptions and fumbling the ball twice.

Cincinnati Bengals own the No.1 overall pick in this year’s draft, and they will almost certainly use it on a quarterback. This means that their longtime starter Andy Dalton will have to leave Cincinnati in order to get a crack at a starting job in 2020.

Dalton’s exit is reportedly getting near, as the 32-year-old signal-caller and Bengals are working together to find his next landing spot. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bengals intend to trade Dalton, but they will take into account the player’s wishes.

Rapoport adds that Cincinnati doesn’t want to simply get rid of Dalton and that they will do their best to put him into a good situation.

Andy Dalton’s successor at Bengals will probably be LSU’s QB Joe Burrow, who is coming off one of the best individual seasons in recent college football history. Burrow not only won a Heishman Trophy but also led the Tigers to a national championship. He is almost unanimously projected as the first overall pick in 2020.

Dalton landed in Cincinnati in 2011 as a second-round pick and was given the starting job in his rookie season. Since then, he earned three Pro Bowl selections while leading the Bengals to four postseason appearances in which he failed to record a single win.

Dalton’s career stats include 62.0 completion percentage, 31,594 passing yards and 86 passing touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals’ experiment with rookie Ryan Finley as the team’s starting quarterback brought them just 11.0 points per game and extended their losing streak to 11 games. This is why it isn’t surprising that the team’s head coach Zac Taylor decided to revert his decision and re-instate veteran Andy Dalton as a starter.

Taylor announced on Monday that Dalton will start Week 13 game against the New York Jets, hoping they will get their first win of the season.

“It’s time to give him another opportunity,” said Taylor.

“Right now this decision is to help us beat New York,” he added. “We just want a win, and that veteran presence he has will certainly be helpful.”

Andy Dalton was Bengals’ starting quarterback since 2011 but ended up being benched following in Week 9 after an eight-game losing streak. Dalton had 2,252 passing yards alongside nine touchdowns and eight interceptions at the time.

Finley, who was taken in the fourth round of 2019 NFL Draft, stepped in but struggled mightily. The 24-year-old completed only 47.1 percent of his passes, throwing for 474 yards, and two TDs while adding two interceptions and three lost fumbles.
