The Philadelphia Eagles just added some veterans' stability to their quarterback room by trading

for 38-year-old Andy Dalton from the Carolina.

Panthers.

In exchange, they sent over a 20-27th round draft pick.

Dalton steps in as a reliable third string option behind starter Jalen Hertz and backup

Tanner McKee.

Dalton brings a ton of experience, marking his sixth NFL team after stints with the Bengals,

Cowboys, Bears, Saints, and now the Eagles and Panthers.

He started his career strong with three pro-bowl nods in Cincinnati and has settled into a

solid backup role lately, posting efficient stats that make him low risk and spot duty.

Teams these days know how crucial backups are, especially with injuries popping up more

often.

The Eagles remember all too well from their Super Bowl run when Nick Folls stepped up big

in 2017.

Lately, they've shuffled through options like Sam Howe and others, but with some leaving

this offseason, Dalton fills a key gap.

Beyond the trade, Philadelphia has been active in free agency, picking up wide receiver

Marquis Brown, cornerbacks like Tareek Woolen and Jonathan.

Jones, Entida and Johnny Munt, while extending a few of their own.

We've also lost some pieces, including safety, Reed Blankenship, and quarterback Sam Howe.

Looking ahead, the Eagles are still hunting for a top pass rusher, with rumors swirling

about a possible deal for Minnesota's Jonathan Greenard.

It's all about building depth for another strong run.
