Why Eagles are more likely to trade Andy Dalton, not Tanner McKee
The Eagles' veteran backup is more likely to go than McKee this summer.
The Philadelphia Eagles might be more inclined to trade Andy Dalton rather than Tanner McKee. This is primarily because Dalton possesses greater experience in the NFL, having played for five different teams and making 169 career starts. Zach Berman of The Athletic explains that a 16-year veteran with an abundance of experience would be more appealing for a patchwork solution compared to a rookie like McKee.
The Eagles could potentially keep both Dalton and McKee or even cut Payton. However, if a quarterback is to be traded before the 2026 season, Dalton seems to have a higher likelihood of generating trade interest due to his extensive NFL experience.
