  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles have announced the release of veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, according to NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo. The move comes just weeks after Dalton's costly mistake during a game. With Hurts out due to a concussion, Dalton briefly filled in for the Eagles, but his 3rd-and-goal interception from the two-yard line led to a 27-7 loss to the Chicago Bears. Tanner McKee and Cole Payton are now the Eagles' two quarterback options behind starter Jalen Hurts. Despite his departure, Dalton's time with the Eagles is not completely over; he could potentially return via a practice-squad spot.",
