Why Eagles are more likely to trade Andy Dalton, not Tanner McKee originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Eagles have Jalen Hurts as their starting quarterback and have Day 3 rookie Cole Payton as their fourth QB on the depth chart right now.
But with the Eagles potentially preferring to keep the cheap rookie long-term, it might make more sense to move on from either Andy Dalton or Tanner McKee this summer. So, which is more likely to go?
As Zach Berman of The Athletic notes, Dalton is more likely to be traded for a simple reason: he's a much better plug-and-play QB than McKee due to their difference in experience in the NFL.
"I don't anticipate the Eagles will keep both McKee and Dalton, and I still believe Dalton has more trade value at this time of year," Berman writes. "... In August, a 16-year veteran with 169 career starts would be more appealing to a team seeking a patchwork solution - if either is traded."
