Andy Dalton won’t be joining the Patriots this offseason.

The former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback is reportedly heading to Dallas. Dalton and the Cowboys agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, which includes $3 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Dalton, who spent nine years in Cincinnati, grew up in Katy, Texas, played at Texas Christian University, and already owns a home in Dallas.

Dalton was rumored to be a potential option for the Patriots, who were the betting favorites to land him, but now those rumors are history.
