Dolphins trade for Kyle McCord as Eagles seek backup quarterback options

The Miami Dolphins acquired quarterback Kyle McCord from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. This move removes a potential trade destination for the Philadelphia Eagles, who are currently evaluating their own backup quarterback situation involving Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee. Philadelphia previously waived McCord during the 2025 offseason, leading to his stint on the practice squad before he signed with Green Bay. The Eagles had considered Miami a logical partner for a trade, particularly due to the presence of former Philadelphia offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo on the Dolphins' coaching staff. Philadelphia management faces upcoming decisions on its 53-man roster as the regular season approaches. With Miami no longer an option, the team must now explore alternative avenues to move depth pieces from the position group.
