Eagles' backup QB Tanner McKee continues to draw trade interest

For a moment, if only for a brief one, we can finally take a break from the nonstop A. J. Brown trade chatter.

Instead, attention shifts to another name that quietly floated through rumor mills not long ago: Philadelphia Eagles star Tanner McKee. The highly respected backup quarterback was once the subject of trade discussions , and now that NFL Draft season approaches, the conversations are back again. As quickly as the noise faded, it now seems to be time for a return to the chaos.

According to ESPN's Tim McManus , interest in McKee hasn't disappeared. In fact, it may resurface again as the draft approaches. That alone isn't surprising.

McKee has done what teams want to see from a developmental quarterback. He has been efficient, poised, and productive in limited opportunities. Still, the more revealing part of the update isn't the interest.
