Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said the team might sign quarterback Andy Dalton to a long-term extension, reports ProFootballTalk.com. Dalton is entering the final year of his rookie deal.

“As a football team we would like to continue to keep our good, young players,” Lewis said. “The representatives from his side and our team will get together and try to discuss something. We feel good about what Andy has done the past three seasons and we have to continue to help him to continue to play better.”

Lewis remains staunchy behind Dalton despite the quarterback's playoff failures.
