The Eagles are still making moves, and their most recent is to send a seventh-round draft pick in the 2027 NFL Draft down to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for veteran quarterback Andy Dalton.
Dalton clearly isn’t coming in to take Jalen Hurts’ job, but it is nice to have another experienced signal-caller added to Philly’s quarterback room. The whole offense seems to be molded by former QBs, and Dalton’s experience will fit in nicely and give the group some different perspectives. This move also gives the team some flexibility to entertain offers for QB2 Tanner McKee, should teams be interested in him.
As for Dalton, his career has been up and down at best, and Philadelphia will be his sixth stop heading into his 16th NFL season. He spent the last three seasons in Carolina, and is exactly the kind of guy to help install a new system with the Eagles — he’s seen enough things around the league to fit right in as a depth option.
Dalton is currently to make $4 million in 2026, which is in line with QB2 money but is expensive for QB3 money.
