A one year deal would not have made sense for Andy Dalton or the Panthers.

The Panthers will be Andy Dalton's fifth team in as many years. He started at some point for the previous four, playing 14 games for the New Orleans Saints last season.

Dalton posted a 95.2 quarterback rating and 7.6 yards per attempt, his highest marks since 2015, with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions when replacing Jameis Winston in Week 4.

That makes it more palatable. Now i'm going to force myself to watch a couple mic'd ups because I don't think I've ever heard him talk before

So a cap hit of ~$3.5mil for 2023. Still leaves plenty of room. I wonder what makes it a total of $8mil guaranteed.

I think you have to include part of the bonus money since its only being spread over 2 years.  I really didn't look that closely at it.

Club improvement incentive, so he's like the 3rd QB coach basically

The $4.835mil signing bonus is Dalton’s at signing of the contract so that’s guaranteed. It is divided between the two years for cap purposes only. 
 

The 2023 base salary of $1.165mil is likely fully guaranteed. 
 

Those two total $6mil and many are reporting $8mil is guaranteed. I’m just wondering where the $2mil extra is coming from. Likely half of the 2024 base is guaranteed. 
 

So if we cut him or he retires after 2023, we eat ~$4.4mil in 2024 dead cap.

There are 2 void years that allowed bonus be be spread over 4 years.

Dalton looking to retire in Charlotte like everyone else.
