After an impressive 2025 preseason performance, the Philadelphia Eagles could receive trade interest from teams for quarterback Tanner McKee. According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated<\/a>, he expects the Eagles to get some type of interest for the quarterback, but at the right price. Originally selected as a sixth-round pick, the former Stanford made his season debut last year in the 2024 campaign finale against the Dallas Cowboys in relief of former quarterback Kenny Pickett. After throwing three passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns during that game, it was just a teaser for what came this preseason.<\/p>\n

McKee has been working his way up the depth chart during the offseason, completing 20 of 25 pass attempts for 252 receiving yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. It\u2019s easy to see why the Eagles could consider trading McKee, being that he\u2019s in his third year of his rookie contract, so he has a ton of value to possibly be a remarkable starting quarterback one day. McKee is good, but there is no way they would start him over Jalen Hurts<\/a>, who has plenty of years ahead of him, so that should be out of the question for the team. While the quarterback will serve as a backup for his next team, he plays for if the Eagles decide to dangle him on the trade block, here are four possible fits for McKee.<\/p>\n

\nInsider: 2023 NFL Draft Pick Tanner McKee May Receive Trade Interest Amid Stunning Preseason Performance

\nNew Orleans Saints<\/p>\n

While Spencer Rattler looks like he\u2019ll be the guy for the New Orleans Saints<\/a> to move forward after his impressive performance, it\u2019s better to stay safe while the team rebuilds. General Manager Mickey Loomis can\u2019t afford to hold the roster back and avoid a complete rebuild, especially when Rattler put on a clinic to probably win the job over Tyler Shough.<\/a> McKee has a chance to back up Rattler if the Saints feel like he can\u2019t stay consistent, and you never know, the chemistry he had in Philadelphia with Kellen Moore as his former offensive coordinator, he could bring him back to coach him to lead his offense in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Indianapolis Colts<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts have named their Week 1 regular-season starter, Daniel Jones<\/a>, over Anthony Richardson. Unfortunately, Colts fans shouldn\u2019t feel too content with the idea of Jones starting, given the history he has with the New York Giants. He easily folds under pressure, so they could do better in this area. McKee is the perfect go-getter who can bring out the best in Jonathan Taylor in the run and the wide receivers, Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs and Adonai Mitchell.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n

However, the unpredictable can happen in Dallas, as the Micah Parsons<\/a> contract situation is an example of it. If they\u2019re having a hard time getting a deal through for Parsons, they could do the same for Prescott if he doesn\u2019t perform up to standards this upcoming season. Even though the Eagles will never trade to Dallas, it\u2019s still possible they could send McKee at the right price, especially when Joe Milton hasn\u2019t looked the best in the preseason.<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers<\/p>\n

Just because the Carolina Panthers have plenty of momentum heading into the 2025 regular season, it doesn\u2019t mean that Bryce Young<\/a> will improve. If they don\u2019t see much from Young for at least five games this campaign, they could bench him again. While Andy Dalton is just a bridge quarterback, McKee is the better option in this situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After an impressive 2025 preseason performance, the Philadelphia Eagles could receive trade interest from teams for quarterback Tanner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1476,2584,1370,436,2772,7,3562,401,6,15,5405,5406,6211,4085,1840],"class_list":{"0":"post-304850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-bryce-young","9":"tag-carolina-panthers-news","10":"tag-dak-prescott","11":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","12":"tag-daniel-jones","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-indianapolis-colts-news","15":"tag-new-orleans-saints-news","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-nfl-draft","18":"tag-panthers-featured","19":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","20":"tag-saints-featured","21":"tag-spencer-rattler","22":"tag-tanner-mckee"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115064564997692423","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
