Eagles Acquire Andy Dalton From Panthers for 2027 Seventh-Round Pick

Reports indicate the veteran arrives as depth behind Jalen Hurts to restore Philadelphia’s three-quarterback room.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the trade is pending a physical, with Carolina receiving a 2027 seventh-round pick.
  • Dalton, 38, is expected to serve as an emergency option with Tanner McKee still listed as the No. 2 behind Hurts, per NFL Media.
  • The move follows Carolina’s signing of Kenny Pickett to back up Bryce Young, making Dalton expendable.
  • Dalton replaces departed third-stringer Sam Howell, who signed with the Dallas Cowboys in free agency.
  • He has one year left on his deal with a reported $4 million 2026 cap hit and brings scheme versatility that could aid new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
