Eagles Trade for Dalton, McKee's Future Uncertain

0:00On March 19, the Philadelphia Eagles shook up their quarterback room this week by trading a 7th round pick in 2027 to the C. Carolina Panthers for veteran backup Andy Dalton. This move adds depth behind starter Jalen Hertz and could free up their other backup, Tanner McKee, for a potential deal elsewhere. McKee, a 25-year-old 6-foot-6 quarterback drafted in the 6th round out of Stanford in 2023, as shown promise in-limited, action with 597 passing yards and five touchdowns over six games. Teams around the league showed interest in him last offseason, but the Eagles held firm, keeping him as their number two guy despite just one year, left on his deal. Now with Dalton in the mix, Cleveland Brown's fans might get excited about pursuing McKee to bolster their options alongside Dishon Watson as the team hunts for a reliable quarterback that this offseason.
