Report: Andy Dalton signs six-year Cincinnati Bengals deal

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has signed a lucrative six-year deal with the club, according to a report.

The 26-year-old was entering the final year of his rookie deal signed in 2011 after he was drafted in the second round of the Draft.

Dalton has now committed his future to Bengals, following an off-season of speculation, by penning the six-year contract worth $96m (£57m), according to ProFootballTalk.com.

The quarterback has guided the Bengals to the playoffs in each of his three seasons at the club, but has failed to win a match in the post-season.
