Mandatory Credit: Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images The Philadelphia Eagles are trading a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for journeyman quarterback Andy Dalton, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
With Jalen Hurts firmly in the starting role for the Eagles, Dalton is figured to battle for the backup position with Tanner McKee, who had drawn trade interest this offseason.
Dalton, 38, has served as a backup for Carolina for the past three seasons under starter Bryce Young. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals before having one year stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints.
In 179 games (169 starts), Dalton has thrown for 39,793 yards, 254 touchdowns and 151 interceptions with a career passer rating of 87.5. He has a career record of 84-83-2 and is a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
The trade will save the Panthers $2.1 million in salary cap space in 2026.
