Philadelphia Eagles trade for Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton
The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired veteran quarterback Andy Dalton from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round draft pick.
The 38-year-old will relocate to Pennsylvania to join an offensive unit led by established starter Jalen Hurts.
His arrival provides highly experienced cover for the NFC East franchise, who also feature Tanner McKee on their current depth chart.
Panthers reshape quarterback room
Carolina opted to move on from the seasoned professional after securing the services of Kenny Pickett just last week.
Pickett was specifically brought in to serve as the primary backup to starting signal-caller Bryce Young, a move that ultimately made the 15-year veteran expendable.
A proven track record
During the previous campaign, the experienced playmaker made four regular-season appearances and one start while stepping in for an injured Young.
In those outings, he successfully completed 67.6% of his pass attempts for 293 yards, registering one touchdown and a single interception.
Across his extensive career in the National Football League, the veteran has amassed 39,793 passing yards alongside 254 touchdowns and 151 interceptions.
