Longtime Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is now officially a member of the heralded Dallas Cowboys. Although Dalton will go from starter to primary backup upon formally making his way from Cincinnati to Dallas, the veteran NFL signal-caller has still apparently put himself in position to succeed as a result of the upcoming 2020 campaign — financially, that is.

According to a recent report from Todd Archer of ESPN, Dalton could earn quite a bit of money as a member of the Cowboys next season if he surpasses a few different marks and helps Dallas do the unthinkable…win a Super Bowl title.

“The one-year contract quarterback Andy Dalton agreed to Saturday with the Dallas Cowboys to be Dak Prescott's backup guarantees him $3 million — a $1 million signing bonus and a $2 million base salary — but could be worth up to $7 million,” writes the aforementioned Archer.

“So, what must Dalton do to earn the remaining $4 million? Help the Cowboys to a win in Super Bowl LV, and play 50 percent of the snaps in the biggest game of the year and 35% of the snaps in the regular season.”

Despite the fact that Dalton has reached the playoffs as a result of almost half his seasons atop the highest level, all of which have come as a member of the Bengals as it stands today, he currently sports a winless 0-4 postseason record as an NFL starting quarterback. On the other hand, the Cowboys have not been to a Super Bowl since all the way back in 1995.
