Eagles Consider Trading Tanner McKee for Draft Picks

It's March 31st, from breaking news to Sunday match-ups, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI.

Philadelphia Eagles might flip their backup quarterback Tanner McKee and to extra draft picks before the 2026 NFL draft.

The 24-year-old, sixth-round pick from 2023, is heading into the final year of his rookie deal, with a cap hit just over one.

Million $100,000 next season, then he hits free agency.

Team starving for quarterbacks have already shown interest, and the Eagles have a stacked room with Jalen Hertz as the starter, and Will Dalton.

Back in him up, they could easily grab another vet to keep things deep without McKee.

Eagles brass values the kid after he started just two games in three years, but extending him won't be easy since he probably wants a shot to start.

Which ain't happening behind Hertz, trading makes sense to avoid losing him for free next off season.

They already dealt Kenny Pickett last year from their depth, proving they're not afraid to move pieces like this.

Meanwhile, sources say QB needy squads are circling.

Bottom line, if a solid pick or two comes calling, Philly should pull the trigger and reload for the future without skipping a beat.
