Eagles Urged: Trade QB Before 2026 Season

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a critical decision regarding backup quarterback Tanner McKee. Amidst speculation following the trade of A.J. Brown, analysts are urging the team to move McKee before the 2026 NFL season kicks off. Earlier discussions to trade the young quarterback reportedly stalled, possibly due to Philadelphia's initial asking price being too high. With the recent acquisition of Andy Dalton and the selection of Cole Payton in the draft, the Eagles' quarterback depth chart is evolving. To potentially gain value, it's suggested that Philadelphia should lower its asking price for McKee. Experts believe a deal could still yield a fifth or sixth-round draft pick, which would be a reasonable return given McKee's limited game experience.
