Overview
- ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported the Jets previously inquired about Tanner McKee but backed off when the price was said to be a second-round pick.
- The Eagles traded for Andy Dalton in a late-round swap with the Panthers, a move that gives them flexibility to consider offers for McKee.
- The Athletic’s Brooks Kubena reported Dalton’s arrival does not automatically put McKee on the market, though it opens a window to listen.
- The Jets are still seeking a veteran No. 2 behind Geno Smith after exploring multiple backup options earlier this offseason.
- McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick, has six NFL appearances and two starts with one year left on his rookie deal, and some analysts suggest a third- or fourth-rounder could be a more realistic price.
