The Chicago Bears agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with former Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton, agent Jeffrey Nalley said Tuesday.

The three-time Pro Bowl player could earn an additional $3 million in bonuses.

Dalton signed with Dallas in May to back up Dak Prescott after getting released by Cincinnati. Dalton wound up starting nine games, officially going 4-4 to bring his career record to 74-65-2, with Prescott suffering a seasonending ankle injury in Week 5. In other NFL news:
