The Eagles added a wealth of experience to the quarterback room on Monday, acquiring Andy Dalton in a trade with the Carolina Panthers. The Eagles will give the Panthers a 2027 seventh-round draft pick in return.

The 38-year-old Dalton comes to Philadelphia to contribute to a position group that features Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee. In his 15 NFL seasons, Dalton is 26th in NFL history (7th among active players) with 39,373 passing yards and tied for 27th (9th among active players) with 254 touchdowns while starting 169 regular-season games.

He's served as a trusted mentor in Carolina for the past three seasons to Bryce Young, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Panthers in 2022. Dalton made seven starts in three seasons with the Panthers. In 2025, Dalton appeared in four games (one start) and completed 67.6 percent of his pass attempts for 293 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Before transitioning to a backup role, Dalton was a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2011-19. Originally entering the league as a second-round pick out of TCU, Dalton led the Bengals to four consecutive 10-win seasons from 2012-15, as well as four playoff appearances and a pair of AFC North Division titles in his nine seasons in Cincinnati.

Since leaving the Bengals, Dalton has also played for the Dallas Cowboys (2020), Chicago Bears (2021), and New Orleans Saints (2022).

Dalton has enjoyed success against the Eagles, going 4-0 in his career against the Birds, completing 69 percent of his attempts for 1,041 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions.
