The Philadelphia Eagles have traded for Carolina Panthers QB Andy Dalton, per ESPN.
In Philadelphia, Dalton will join a depth chart that includes starter Jalen Hurts and backup Tanner McKee.
Dalton will make $4 million next season in the final year of his contract. The veteran made one spot start in 2025 for the Panthers, going 16-of-24 for 175 yards with an INT in a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 8.

Dalton used to be one of the top QBs in the league when he was younger. He has 39,793 passing yards and 254 passing touchdowns in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints and Panthers.
The Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2025 against the Kansas City Chiefs but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round of the 2026 playoffs.
Hurts finished the 2025 season with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. He completed 64.8% of his passes.
One of the best QBs in the NFL, Hurts will be coached by Sean Mannion next season. Philadelphia hired the Green Bay Packers QB coach as its new OC after firing Kevin Patullo.
