Some around the NFL are keeping a close eye on the Philadelphia Eagles for a potential trade or two this offseason. After all, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has been known to make some moves.
While the trade of AJ Brown will certainly garner more headlines, there has been no update on his potential availability. The Eagles want good players and Brown certainly fits the bill.
Meanwhile, there are other Eagles players who could generate trade interest, including backup quarterback Tanner McKee.
according to athleticAccording to Jack Rosenblatt, trading for McKee could be costly. He believes the Eagles cannot part with the 25-year-old for anything less than a third-round pick.
Rosenblatt wrote, "I think people are underestimating how much it might cost to get McKee." “Yeah, he's unproven, but the Eagles are Very High on Mackie. I don't know if they're selling him for less than a third-round pick - and even that might not be enough.
Mackie has started two games and is going 1-1 in the process. He has completed 61.4% of his passes while throwing for five touchdowns and one interception with the Eagles.
McKee is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Still, as mentioned, the Eagles hold him in high regard. If Hearts were to miss time through injury, they would rely on McKee as a capable replacement to lead a winning effort.
With many other moving parts on the QB carousel, including the availability of Kyler Murray, the Eagles may have to wait a while to determine McKee's true value. For now, it's hard to imagine that any team would be willing to offer a third-round pick for a player with 88 passing attempts in his career.
