The Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a quarterback trade with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday that had many believing it could lead to a trade of one of another one of their quarterbacks.
According to multiple reports, the Eagles acquired quarterback Andy Dalton in a trade with Carolina that saw Philly give up a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Panthers. The overwhelming belief was that this would lead to a trade of quarterback Tanner McKee, seeing as how the Eagles' quarterbacks room is now very crowded when including Jalen Hurts and Dalton. However, The Athletic's Brooks Kubena is hearing that McKee might not actually be available via trade, even after the Dalton addition.
"Checked in with those familiar with Tanner McKee and any emerging trade market," Kubena wrote. "I would not take today’s Andy Dalton trade as an immediate step in that direction. " This might be true for now, but perhaps Philly's mind will change once things play out over the course of the offseason.
It's possible the Eagles will ultimately opt to trade whoever doesn't win the competition for QB2. While McKee remains unproven, he has shown flashes in his limited opportunities with the Eagles and could draw interest around the NFL. Three teams that should have an eye on the situation are the Pittsburgh Steelers , Las Vegas Raiders and Arizona Cardinals .
