Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman clarified that the trade for Andy Dalton was about roster depth, not a slight against quarterback Tanner McKee. Roseman stated he sleeps better knowing he has three quarterbacks capable of playing if Jalen Hurts goes down.
He praised Dalton's experience, noting the veteran can still throw and make quick decisions. The Eagles acquired the veteran for a low cost, a 2027 seventh-round pick, and $1.5 million salary cap space.
