Will the Philadelphia Eagles make a change in the quarterback room this offseason?
Jalen Hurts is the team’s clear-cut starter and isn’t going anywhere, unless Howie Roseman really shocks people. Backup quarterback Tanner McKee has fans around the league and has been floated as a trade candidate multiple times over the last year, but the Eagles haven’t made a deal to this point. While this is the case, he now has just one season of control left and will be a free agent after the 2026 season. While breaking down potential trade candidates for this offseason, ESPN’s Ben Solak noted that McKee is someone who could be “in danger” of being on the move.

“Tanner McKee, Philadelphia Eagles: The backup QB on Howie Roseman’s roster is always in danger of being dealt,” Solak wrote. ‘McKee typically looks strong in the preseason, and he looked acceptable in two Week 18 starts while throwing to the Eagles’ backups. He is an older prospect (will be 26 next season), but he still has a developmental arc in that he has never seen extended game action. In a world where Will Howard might be starting for the Steelers or Quinn Ewers could be in for the Dolphins, McKee deserves a camp fight somewhere.”
This would be a dream scenario
