The Eagles’ latest trade has ‘nothing to do with’ this QB’s future
The Eagles acquiring QB Andy Dalton doesn't mean they'll trade Tanner McKee, says general manager Howie Roseman.
PHOENIX — When the Philadelphia Eagles traded for veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, some assumed the end was near for backup (and trade chip) Tanner McKee. General manager Howie Roseman doesn’t see it that way. Roseman said the Eagles acquiring Dalton “has nothing to do with” McKee’s future in Philadelphia.
“Independent of Tanner, we’ve talked about how much we like Tanner, we thought it was a good opportunity for us to bring in Andy,” Roseman said Sunday at the NFL owners meetings. “He’s a guy who we’ve known for a long time. He’s a guy that’s going to add a lot, on and off the field.
” Dalton was acquired last week from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick. Dalton, 38, is under contract with the Eagles for the 2026 season. He’s set to make $3.
9 million — but a significant chunk of that will be paid by the Panthers. The Eagles are +900 on FanDuel to win the NFC next year. Our complete FanDuel Sportsbook review provides an in-depth guide on how to navigate their platform.
