Eagles GM Howie Roseman defended the acquisition of Andy Dalton, stating he feels better knowing the roster features three quarterbacks capable of performing. Roseman emphasized the move was not a reflection on Tanner McKee and highlighted Dalton's experience and quick decision-making skills.
The trade cost the Eagles only a 2027 seventh-round draft pick and $1.5 million against the cap, a low price for Roseman to secure depth behind starter Jalen Hurts.
