Tanner McKee's preseason performance raises questions about his trade value

Summary

Tanner McKee's performance in the preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens may have hurt his prospects in the Eagles' backup quarterback competition. McKee completed 6 of 10 passes for 35 yards and recorded a 66.7 passer rating without leading a scoring drive. His showing comes amid speculation regarding the Eagles' attempts to trade him, with a reported asking price of a second-round draft pick. Despite earlier discussions about his potential value, McKee's less-than-ideal performance may complicate efforts to find a trading partner. With more preseason games remaining, McKee has opportunities to improve his standing.
