Eagles QB Trade: Seahawks Eye McKee?
26 Aug
Summary
- Seahawks analyst suggests trading for Eagles QB Tanner McKee.
- Jalen Milroe is viewed as a weak backup option for Seattle.
- Eagles face a QB decision between McKee and Andy Dalton.
Seattle Seahawks analyst Michael Hanich has identified Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee as a prime trade target. Hanich believes McKee could provide a much-needed upgrade over the Seahawks' current backup, Jalen Milroe, whose performance has been disappointing. Milroe's limitations reportedly restrict the Seahawks' offensive capabilities.
The Eagles are facing a crucial decision regarding their backup quarterback position, with both veteran Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee vying for the role. Reports suggest Dalton has struggled significantly during the preseason, potentially pushing McKee into the primary backup spot. This internal competition presents an opportunity for the Eagles to trade either player before the Sunday roster cutdown deadline.
However, conflicting analysis suggests Dalton might be the more logical trade candidate for the Seahawks, given his extensive NFL experience compared to Milroe. Despite Dalton's past success, questions linger about his willingness to accept a third-string role. The Eagles' general manager may consider trading any asset, including a quarterback, if the price is right.
The NFL's roster cutdown deadline is set for 6 pm ET on Sunday, August 30. The Eagles are expected to make a decision on their quarterback situation before this date. A trade involving either Dalton or McKee could reshape the quarterback depth charts for both the Eagles and the Seahawks.
