Tanner McKee's Trade Prospects Diminish with Eagles

Tanner McKee's status with the Philadelphia Eagles has significantly declined this summer, marking a stark contrast to the earlier optimism surrounding the young quarterback.

Two seasons ago, McKee was seen as a promising backup option to Jalen Hurts, with trade interest from teams looking for a developmental quarterback. His performance in a two-game stretch in 2024, where he threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns, had previously fueled speculation about his potential.

However, the Eagles' acquisition of veteran Andy Dalton has changed the dynamics. Dalton has consistently received more practice repetitions and has reportedly outperformed McKee during training camp. This shift has raised doubts about McKee's position, with the possibility of him falling to third on the depth chart. Despite the challenges, McKee still has opportunities in upcoming preseason games to improve his standing within the team.
