Eagles Add Veteran Dalton, Stack QB Room

0:00For the NFL, it's March 18th. Here's what's happening. The Philadelphia Eagles just made a move that shows how much they prioritize quarterbacks. They traded a 2027-7 ground pick to the Carolina Panthers for 38-year-old veteran Andy Dalton. Hale joined as the third string option behind Jalen Hertz and Tanner McKee. Earlier this week, the Panthers signed former Eagles backup Kenny Pickett, adding a twist to the deal. Philadelphia has a track record of stacking their quarterback room by bringing in Gardner Menshu and others in past seasons despite having solid. Backups already. Fans and analysts see this as smart death building under new quarterback's coach, Parks Frazier, who worked with Dalton in Carolina back in 20. 23. It gives General Manager Howie Roseman flexibility if teens come calling for McKee, who's drawn interest before. McKee, a sixth-round pick from Stanford in 2023, stays as the number two guy for now in his final rookie year.

1:01The Eagles have held off trading him so far, but they might cash him before or after his free agency in 2027. Dalton brings 15 years of experience with nearly 40,000 passing yards, 254 touchdowns, and a solid pro bowl resume. Though he went just one in six as a starter in Carolina over three seasons, his steady hand should bolster the room. This story is made possible by our sponsor, see the episode description.
