Overview
- ESPN’s Ben Solak identified Tanner McKee as a logical trade candidate, noting Howie Roseman’s habit of dealing backup quarterbacks.
- In a limited late-season audition, McKee completed 21 of 40 passes for 241 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Week 18, which evaluators called acceptable.
- McKee will be 26 next season and measures 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds, with observers citing developmental upside despite minimal NFL game action.
- Coverage indicates the Eagles would likely consider a move only after securing a new No. 2 option, such as re-signing Sam Howell, adding a free agent, or drafting a Day 2 or Day 3 quarterback.
- Analysts suggest QB-needy teams could view McKee as a low-cost bridge or camp competitor, citing last offseason’s Kenny Pickett-for-Dorian Thompson-Robinson plus a fifth-rounder deal as precedent, with no trade currently reported.
