Eagles backup QB Tanner McKee linked to Jets in trade rumors

AutoDraft Pro AI

Eagles backup QB Tanner McKee is reportedly drawing trade interest from the New York Jets, who are seeking a less-expensive signal-caller to compete with or replace Justin Fields. McKee's connections to former Eagles OC Frank Reich (now Stanford HC) and Jets QB coach Bill Musgrave are noted. While the Eagles value him as Jalen Hurts' backup, a trade, possibly for a conditional 2027 fourth-round pick, is feasible given McKee's limited NFL experience (88 passes, 2 starts) but promising flashes.
