Dalton clearly isn’t coming in to take Jalen Hurts’ job, but it is nice to have another veteran added to Philly’s quarterback room. The whole offense seems to be molded by former QBs, and Dalton’s experience will fit in nicely and give the group some different perspectives. This move also gives the team some flexibility to entertain offers for QB2 Tanner McKee — who has had some offseason interest from the Jets.
As for Dalton, his career has been up and down at best, and Philadelphia will be his sixth stop heading into his 16th NFL season. He spent the last three seasons in Carolina, and is exactly the kind of guy to help install a new system with the Eagles — he’s seen enough things around the league to fit right in.
