The Dallas Cowboys have informed pass-rusher Aldon Smith that they are not going to re-sign him after one season, according to a source.

Smith joined the Cowboys on a one-year deal in 2020 after serving an indefinite suspension from 2016 to 2019 for multiple off-field incidents and violations of the league's substance abuse policy.

The 31-year-old finished the season with five sacks -- including three in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Andy Dalton has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with the Chicago Bears. Dalton will have a chance to compete for the job and could earn an extra $3 million in incentives.

Dalton spent last season with the Dallas Cowboys, signing as Dak Prescott's backup and then serving as starter when Prescott was lost for the season due to injury.

The San Francisco 49ers were also interested in Dalton.

The Dallas Cowboys officially received a league-high four compensatory draft picks in 2021.

They received one each in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth round. The Cowboys lost Byron Jones, Robert Quinn, Randall Cobb, Xavier Su'a-Filo, Jeff Heath and Jason Witten last year in free agency.

The Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement on a four-year, $160 million deal with Dak Prescott, according to a source.

The deal includes $126 million in guaranteed money.

The deal, which is technically for six years but voids to four so as to help Dallas against the salary cap, can be worth up to $164 million.

Prescott's signing bonus is $66 million, the highest in NFL history.

The Dallas Cowboys want to get a long-term deal done with Dak Prescott, preferably before the March 9 franchise tag deadline.

According to a report, Prescott's representation and the Cowboys' discussions on a new deal are "more productive than they have been."

Placing the franchise tag on the quarterback would result in a $37.7 million cap hit for the Cowboys but give them until July 15 to continue negotiating. Not placing the franchise tag on Prescott would make him a free agent March 17.
