Overview

• ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky urged the Eagles to offer a mid-round pick for former No. 4 pick Anthony Richardson as a developmental backup, arguing it would not create a quarterback controversy and could build asset value.
• A Bleacher Report idea, relayed by The Sporting News, envisions Philadelphia turning backup Tanner McKee into a 2026 second-round pick, potentially from a quarterback-needy Colts team.
• McKee has strengthened his market with a sharp preseason, completing 20 of 25 passes for 252 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions across two appearances.
• The Colts have named Daniel Jones their Week 1 starter after Richardson’s struggles, including a league-low 47.7% completion rate last season.
• Richardson is still on a multi-year rookie contract with a fifth-year option, and there are no reports of actual trade negotiations between the teams.
