Could Cardinals' QB uncertainty create a trade market for Tanner McKee?

Quarterback instability has a funny way of creating unexpected conversations. The Arizona Cardinals may be drifting toward one. Kyler Murray left a while ago, which already changes the complexion of everything.

Jacoby Brissett currently sits atop a depth chart that also features former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew. Rookie Carson Beck and Kedon Slovis are the other two QBs on the Cardinals ' roster. That group doesn’t exactly inspire overwhelming confidence, and according to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, Arizona's situation may be even shakier than it appears.

Reportedly, the Cardinals and Brissett remain 'significantly' apart in negotiations over reworking the final year of his 2026 contract. That's worth monitoring because if their quarterback uncertainty deepens, another question naturally emerges. Would Tanner McKee suddenly become a relevant conversation?

Could the Eagles dangle Tanner McKee as trade bait? Philadelphia has been here before. Back in 2011, the Eagles turned quarterback depth into trade capital when Kevin Kolb was shipped to Arizona in a deal that landed Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and draft compensation.
