Eagles encouraged to trade backup quarterback Tanner McKee before 2026 season

Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles are being urged to trade backup quarterback Tanner McKee ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Following the recent trade of star wide receiver A.J. Brown, Moe Moton of Bleacher Report identified McKee as a candidate for trade. The Eagles had considered moving McKee prior to the NFL Draft, but an insufficient offer was received. Moton suggested lowering the asking price to secure a potential fifth- or sixth-round pick for McKee, especially given the team's recent acquisition of veteran quarterback Andy Dalton and rookie Cole Payton.
