Andy Dalton Draws Multiple Offers After Eagles Release

Hurts' blood-clot issue raises doubt about his availability, which could prompt Philadelphia or other teams to sign the veteran quarterback.

Overview

  • The Eagles released Andy Dalton to clear a 53-man roster spot, making him an immediate free agent who remained unsigned at the time of reporting.
  • NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo said Dalton has received offers from multiple teams and is weighing those options without having committed to any club.
  • Philadelphia had left the door open to re-sign Dalton to their practice squad before new information about Jalen Hurts' blood clots created fresh contingency considerations.
  • Dalton's demotion followed a Week 3 in-game interception when he filled in for Hurts, a performance that factored into the Eagles' decision-making about quarterback depth.
  • Teams view Dalton as a seasoned, low-cost backup option based on his recent work with other clubs, and his signing could quickly shift short-term depth charts if Hurts misses extended time.
