Andy Dalton not long without a job. After being released by the Philadelphia Eaglesthe veteran quarterback has found his way to another NFC team, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“Veteran free agent QB Andy Dalton is signing with the Atlanta Falconsper source,” Schefter shared via a post on X on Monday.
Dalton had a cup of coffee with Philadelphia, which released him after just four weeks into the 2026 NFL season.
