I would think this means Cooper Rush is out. They're not keeping him around as a 3rd QB. He's had years.

With the weapons we have here, Dalton could be just as successful as Dak and a fraction of the cost.

Dalton is about the best backup you could hope for. We have seen in the past where a starter goes down and a good back can win enough to get a team into the playoffs

Beautiful. Great signing. Provides a solid backup and insurance in case Dak flakes out over contract negotiations.

I'm totally down with this. While I want Zak to be leading this team if all he wants is money, he can go play for someone else. I actually think he is an idiot, gave away a lot of money last year that he'll never get back.

Mike McCarthy isn’t going to take a chance of having Cooper Rush go in if Dak gets hurt.

I love this move. While I am a Dak fan, (and I think he has upside) I think he is being overly greedy at this time. The signing of Dalton not only give us backup insurance in case of an injury to Dak, it really lowers the short term leverage Dak would have if he elects to hold out.
Love this signing. We can make the playoffs with Dalton and maybe even make a run if Dalton gets some good MM coaching AND some pro bowl line protection this year.
It would be great to see Dalton full in for Dak, set the world on fire in the time he is there and us net a 3rd round comp pick for him when he leaves nest year.
Dalton is a guy who has not ever had a good team around him. This signing has SIGNIFICANT UPSIDE. Low risk too.

This makes me happy. QB#2 has been a position that this club has routinely neglected, We've been lucky, so far, that we haven't needed one but we have been one Prescott injury away from a wasted season since Romo left. Super glad that they've decided to take to position seriously.

Dak's asking price just became more team friendly
