He was not on the free agent market long before signing a $7 million deal with the Dallas Cowboys.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the show reacting to this news, what it means for Dak Prescott and how Dalton is in a superb position to revive his career in Big D.

The guys talk about where Cam is post-draft and discuss a few mouthwatering landing spots for the former MVP (21:00), as well as praising the heroics of Alex Smith, whose harrowing injury and recovery were documented on ESPN earlier in the week. (28:30)If this off-season's QB controversies weren't enough, Charles & Terez look ahead to what is sure to be a major source of drama in spring 2021: what will Chicago do with Mitchell Trubisky? After the Bears declined to pick up his 5th-year option, the guys discuss the brewing QB debate in Chicago and revisit the top of the 2017 draft, where Trubisky was selected.
