The Eagles’ trade for quarterback Andy Dalton was not a reflection on Tanner McKee, the 2023 sixth-round pick who backed up Jalen Hurts last season.
Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman said he thinks both McKee and Dalton can play well if Hurts goes down, and he’ll always feel better with a roster that has three quarterbacks he’s confident in.
“The way I think about these three quarterbacks when I go to bed at night, I know we have three quarterbacks who can play. I sleep better. It’s just how I roll,” Roseman said, via TheAthletic.com.
Roseman said the Eagles organization has always thought highly of the 38-year-old Dalton, who is heading into his 16th NFL season.
“I thought it was a good opportunity for us to bring in Andy — a guy that we’ve known for a long time, a guy that can add a lot on and off the field,” Roseman said. “He can still throw it. He can still really make quick decisions. We’ve liked him for a long time, watched him for a long time.”
The Eagles only had to give up a 2027 seventh-round draft pick to get Dalton from the Panthers, and he’ll only cost $1.5 million on their salary cap this season. That’s a low price to pay for Roseman to sleep better.
An Eagles’ trade of wide receiver A.J. Brown has felt “inevitable” since March. The question seems more of when, not if, with a post-June 1 trade a possibility.
Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman revealed nothing on Sunday.
“I understand that there’s interest in the A.J. Brown story,” Roseman said, via Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philly. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a home under a rock. But my answer to any question on A.J. Brown is that A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles. From my perspective, anything you ask me about A.J. Brown, I’m going to go right back to that answer. But I understand the interest. I put on TV and I see that there’s interest. But my answer is A.J. Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.”
Roseman proceeded to answer multiple questions about Brown with the same answer: “A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles,” according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of WIP94.com.
The Eagles signed veteran wide receiver Hollywood Brown to a one-year, $5 million deal in March. He would join DeVonta Smith as the team’s top two wide receivers if Brown departs.
The Eagles also signed free agent wideout Elijah Moore.
The Patriots have been the favorite to eventually land Brown, who has not made the Pro Bowl in either of the past two seasons. He had 1,079 receiving yards in 2024 and 1,003 receiving yards in 2025.
The Eagles are adding a former first-round pick to their defense.
Via multiple reporters, General Manager Howie Roseman said at the annual league meeting on Sunday that Philadelphia is signing edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to a one-year deal.
Tryon-Shoyinka, 26, was the No. 32 overall pick for the Bucs in 2021. He spent his first four seasons with Tampa Bay before signing a one-year deal with Cleveland last offseason. He was then traded to Chicago midway through the season.
In 16 total games last year — eight for the Browns, eight for the Bears — Tryon-Shoyinka registered 22 total tackles with one tackle for loss and a pair of QB hits.
He’s appeared in 82 total games with 45 starts, registering 15.0 sacks with 22 tackles for loss and 37 quarterback hits.
Wide receiver Hollywood Brown will have a new number to go with his new uniform.
The Eagles announced on Thursday that Brown, who signed a one-year deal with the team this month, will wear No. 0 for the 2026 season. Brown wore No. 5 with the Chiefs while D’Andre Swift, Joshua Uche and Bryce Huff have previously worn No. 0 in Philadelphia.
Cornerback Riq Woolen will also be wearing a new number. He’ll be No. 2 after wearing No. 27 with the Seahawks. His partner at cornerback Quinyon Mitchell will continue wearing that number for the Eagles.
The Eagles also announced that quarterback Andy Dalton will wear the familiar No. 14 he’s worn with five other teams.
Eagles center Cam Jurgens suffered a back injury late in the 2024 season that affected him for the club’s postseason run to winning the Super Bowl and required surgery. That, in turn, caused him some issues in 2025.
But the two-time Pro Bowler has now undergone another procedure that has him feeling better as the offseason program start date draws closer.
In an interview on the Bussin with the Boys podcast, Jurgens said his back is “getting better every day” after undergoing a stem cell treatment in Colombia earlier this offseason. He added that he’s “noticing a difference” since getting back home.
“It takes a little bit for the stem cells to kick in,” Jurgens said, via Jeff Neiburg of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
While Jurgens received an epidural to play in Super Bowl LIX — which the Eagles won over the Chiefs — then underwent surgery to fix the disc in his back that, he said, had broken off before the playoffs and “wrapped around” his sciatic nerve.
“It was hard to walk,” Jurgens said. “I don’t know how I was playing. It was easily the worst month of my life, but also the best month of my life because we won the Super Bowl.”
But now, Jurgens said, he’s in a position to be more like himself on the field.
“It takes a good year to come back from that,” Jurgens said of his first back procedure. “I’m starting to feel really good.”
