Tanner McKee Draws Significant Trade Interest After Impressive Preseason Performance

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee has been one of the most talked-about players in the league following an outstanding preseason showing. His poise, precision, and command on the field have caught the attention of NFL teams in need of quarterback depth, with McKee’s name quickly rising on front offices' radars.

While preseason performances don't always translate into regular-season success, McKee’s impressive skills have sparked interest from at least nine NFL teams as the preseason winds down. With the demand for quality backup quarterbacks always high, McKee's performance has opened up a market for his potential trade.

Miami Dolphins
With questions surrounding Tua Tagovailoa's long-term health, the Dolphins view McKee as a reliable insurance option. His connection with fast receivers like Jaylen Waddle could provide Miami with an extra spark if their offense struggles during the season.

New York Jets
If the Justin Fields experiment fails to deliver, McKee could be a smoother fit in offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand's system. His efficient playmaking in a structured passing game mirrors the success of quarterbacks like Jared Goff in Detroit.

Cleveland Browns
Looking to add depth, the Browns are considering McKee as a potential future asset. Evaluators believe McKee has more upside than several of the quarterbacks currently on the Browns’ roster, making him an intriguing possibility for a long-term solution.

Baltimore Ravens
McKee's decision-making ability and accuracy make him an ideal backup for Lamar Jackson in a system that values efficiency. The Ravens’ high expectations for 2025 make it critical to secure a reliable second option at quarterback.

Indianapolis Colts
With Anthony Richardson still developing and questions surrounding the team's backup options, McKee is being seen as a potential candidate to compete for a primary backup role, giving the Colts a reliable option in case of injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars
After Trevor Lawrence's recent injury concerns, McKee could provide the Jaguars with a dependable second quarterback. His presence could offer stability behind Lawrence in a playoff-caliber offense, should anything happen to the starter.

Houston Texans
While C.J. Stroud is the franchise cornerstone, the Texans are looking to bolster their quarterback room. McKee’s reliable pocket presence could help protect Stroud, especially with concerns about the physical toll Stroud might face behind Houston’s offensive line.

New Orleans Saints
With ongoing questions about their quarterback situation, the Saints could provide McKee with an opportunity to start. If the offense stalls under the current options, McKee may get a legitimate chance to prove himself as a starter.

Arizona Cardinals
In the event of a change at quarterback after the 2025 season, McKee could serve as a valuable part of the Cardinals' transition plan. He would compete in training camp while a potential first-round rookie develops in the system.

While no trade is imminent, sources suggest that the conversation surrounding McKee will only intensify in the coming weeks. For teams in need of quarterback depth, McKee’s strong preseason performance may make him one of the most coveted players before the regular season kicks off.
