Andy Dalton News
Wednesday, March 18, 11:46 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring veteran quarterback Andy Dalton from the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2027 NFL draft, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Panthers were expected to move on from Dalton this offseason, especially after adding Kenny Pickett as Bryce Young's backup. Now that Philly has the 38-year-old Dalton to back up starter Jalen Hurts, the Eagles could look to trade current third-stringer Tanner McKee. The Red Rifle is as experienced as they come as a backup QB. He was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round in 2011 out of TCU, and he's started 169 of the 179 games that he's appeared in over his 15 years in the league. In the last three years in Carolina, Dalton completed 64.7% of his passes for 1,643 yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 13 games (seven starts). Dalton will now back up Hurts in 2026 in his 16th year in the league with his sixth different team.

Teddy Bridgewater News
Tuesday, March 10, 3:21 PM
Veteran free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is signing an undisclosed deal with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Bridgewater will return to Motown after serving as Jared Goff's backup in 2023 and 2024. The 33-year-old 11-year NFL veteran hasn't started a game since 2022 with the Miami Dolphins and has gone 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards in five appearances over the last three seasons. Bridgewater was the backup to Baker Mayfield with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 out of Louisville has plenty of experience in the league, but the Lions' offense will have very limited upside if Goff gets injured and Bridgewater is forced into a starting role. He's completed 66.3% of his 2,082 pass attempts in his career since entering the league in 2014.
