Panthers Trade Dalton to Eagles for Draft Pick

0:00It's March 18, here's your NFL news in two minutes, subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Carolina Panthers are trading back up quarterback Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2027 7th round draft pick. This move clears out an aging veteran from their roster as they build around young starter Bryce Young. Dalton spent the last three seasons in Carolina, stepping in during Young's benching midway through his second year. At 38 years old, he's now heading into his 16th NFL season, mostly as a reliable backup. For the Panthers, it's a straightforward swap. They signed Younger Kenny Pickett last week to take over his backup and were openly shopping Dalton to get some value back in return. Meanwhile, the Eagles beef up their quarterback room behind starter Jalen Hertz and backup Tanner McKee. Philadelphia likes keeping three options on hand, especially after losing other depth players like Sam Howell and Kyle McCord this offseason. This doesn't lock in any trades for McKee though.

1:00The Eagles could still move him, draft a late round guy, or add another veteran. Offseason moves keep coming, giving them plenty of flexibility at the position.
