Dalton probably won’t even be playing anymore by then. The move was more about getting Dalton somewhere he’s wanted or needed and saving a little bit of that cold hard cap space. Given that the Eagles are usually a good team, it’s probable that the pick lands somewhere in the 250 range.
It’s unlikely to amount to a player of significant consequence, but it’s technically not nothing. Dalton finishes his three year Panthers career having thrown for 1,643 yards and ten touchdowns across seven starts and a smattering of backup appearances. The Panthers were 1-6 in those seven starts, but we’ll always have that Raiders game.
