With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts out indefinitely, the Eagles have had to scramble to fill out the depth chart.
Tanner McKee started on Sunday against the Panthers. They also have rookie Cole Payton, and they added Joe Milton from the Cowboys’ practice squad.
They had 16-year veteran Andy Dalton, but the Eagles cut him nine days ago. They wanted to bring him back, but Dalton has politely declined, we’re told.
Dalton, who has played for the Bengals, Cowboys, Bears, Saints, Panthers, and Eagles, will be signing with a team other than the Eagles as soon as tomorrow. And his arrival in a new city likely will trigger a current member of the quarterback room making his exit.
Which would then, frankly, make that player a potential option for the Eagles.
