Report: Eagles are releasing QB Andy Dalton
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing quarterback Andy Dalton, who was acquired in March in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick.
- Dalton and Tanner McKee served as co-backup quarterbacks during the preseason, with Dalton initially chosen as the primary backup after training camp.
- Dalton struggled during his limited playtime, notably throwing an interception in a critical moment during Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, leading to his demotion to third-string quarterback.
- At nearly 39 years old, Dalton's physical decline and poor recent performance diminished his value, and the Eagles were reportedly unable to trade him.
- If Dalton does not rejoin the team, his tenure with the Eagles will be marked by just one pass attempt, which resulted in an interception.
