The Philadelphia Eagles were one of four teams that oddly kept four quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster. Yet, like the other three, there have been some rumors indicating that the Eagles could still make some changes at the QB position. The Minnesota Vikings have already slimmed down a bit by sliding one of their four, 2025 undrafted signee Max Brosmer, to the practice squad. Meanwhile, the Eagles still have four, rostering Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton, and fifth-round rookie Cole Payton. Yet, there could still be some movement on the Philly QB front.

Yet, there have been trade rumors about McKee in the past, and he’s now entering a contract year. However, Dalton is the newcomer here after spending the past three seasons in Carolina. If any of the four were to go, the 38-year-old Dalton could be the odd man out. According to Casino.org’s football insider Jason La Canfora, one NFL GM has doubts about Dalton sticking around on the roster. It’s not uncommon for Eagles general manager Howie Roseman to evaluate quarterbacks in the upcoming draft class. It seems the Eagles are always toying around with the idea of adding young QBs to the roster. That again makes Dalton’s place with the team less secure. Eventually, the Eagles may pick between McKee and/or Dalton. The question is whether a team is willing to offer anything of value for the three-time Pro Bowler. In this case, the Eagles could be waiting patiently, just in case a quarterback gets hurt and forces another team’s hand. If so, a 15-year veteran like Dalton could quickly be in high demand.
