According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the "odds look good" free agent Bruce Gradkowski returns as Andy Dalton's backup in 2013.
Gradkowski, 30, has attempted just 29 passes over the past two seasons. Owner of a career 65.8 QB rating, Gradkowski will be back if the Bengals will have him. It's a bit surprising Cincinnati wouldn't pursue a backup upgrade after Dalton's second straight late-season collapse, but owner Mike Brown prefers his players cheap, and Gradkowski will be cheap.
