Eagles Trade QB Tanner McKee?

The Philadelphia Eagles have recently acquired veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, positioning him as the likely backup to Jalen Hurts. This move by the Eagles could potentially place their young quarterback, Tanner McKee, on the trade block. According to Bleacher Report's Alex Kay, McKee is considered an under-the-radar trade candidate who might be dealt during the upcoming NFL draft.

Should a team face desperation during the draft, there's a possibility McKee could be exchanged for a conditional Day 2 pick. While Philadelphia has not actively pursued trading McKee thus far, this stance might change if General Manager Howie Roseman aims to acquire additional draft capital. McKee has shown promise in six appearances, completing 61.4% of his passes for five touchdowns and one interception. Teams lacking a reliable backup or seeking more quarterback competition could find McKee appealing.

Potential trade destinations for McKee include the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, and New York Jets. If Aaron Rodgers does not return to Pittsburgh in 2026, the Steelers might pursue McKee to create a quarterback competition. Green Bay could see McKee as a solid replacement for Malik Willis as a backup to Jordan Love. The Jets, who previously inquired about McKee, might see him as competition for Geno Smith, potentially even a future starter.
