Eagles have released backup QB Andy Dalton after one pass attempt

The Philadelphia Eagles have released backup quarterback Andy Dalton following his lone appearance with the team. Dalton played just one game for the Eagles during Week 3, facing off against the Chicago Bears. The release of QB Andy Dalton comes after he entered the contest to replace starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was sidelined in the medical tent.

Philadelphia was in the red zone during the second quarter, aiming to score their first points of the match. However, Dalton's sole pass attempt of the game ended in an interception, intercepted by rookie safety Dillon Thieneman. After serving as a starter for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2011 to 2019, Dalton has had a somewhat nomadic career across various NFL teams.

In the past four years, he has only played 14 games, securing seven starts. His only victory in those seven starts came when Bryce Young was taken out of the game by the Carolina Panthers. With Dalton reaching the age of 39 at the end of October and having amassed a total of 180 games played throughout his career, it remains uncertain whether he will find another team to sign him or continue playing in the NFL.

Despite the numerous quarterback injuries plaguing the league, it wouldn't be surprising to see a team sign him as a safety net. This report originally surfaced on Touchdown Wire.
