Philadelphia, PA
 Tanner McKee has turned a preseason audition into a full-blown quarterback market frenzy. The Philadelphia Eagles’ young signal-caller delivered a poised, surgical, and commanding performance that’s made front offices across the NFL take notice.

Preseason hype doesn’t always guarantee regular-season stardom, but McKee’s combination of size, accuracy, and composure has positioned him as one of the league’s most intriguing trade targets. League sources confirm at least nine teams have reached out about his availability — a testament to the premium placed on quarterback depth.

Teams Reportedly Interested in McKee:

  • Miami Dolphins — With lingering concerns over Tua Tagovailoa’s durability, Miami views McKee as a strong insurance option who could seamlessly work in their speed-driven attack alongside Jaylen Waddle.

  • New York Jets — If the Justin Fields experiment stumbles, McKee’s pocket rhythm and structured-play efficiency could be a cleaner fit for OC Tanner Engstrand’s system.

  • Cleveland Browns — Depth at quarterback has been a talking point, and evaluators believe McKee’s ceiling is higher than some current roster options.

  • Baltimore Ravens — A decision-focused passer like McKee could serve as a steadying presence behind Lamar Jackson in a system that values precision.

  • Indianapolis Colts — With Anthony Richardson still developing, Indy sees McKee as a potential top backup who can step in without disruption.

  • Jacksonville Jaguars — Trevor Lawrence’s injury history has the Jags seeking a capable No. 2 to keep their playoff hopes stable.

  • Houston Texans — Protecting C.J. Stroud is priority one, but depth behind him is equally important — and McKee offers veteran-level poise.

  • New Orleans Saints — With uncertainty under center, McKee could legitimately compete for a starting job if current options falter.

  • Arizona Cardinals — If the Kyler Murray situation changes post-2025, McKee could be part of a transition plan alongside a developing rookie.

  • While no trade appears imminent, insiders expect negotiations to heat up before the regular season kicks off. For QB-hungry franchises, the 6-foot-6 Eagle may be one of the most intriguing pieces on the market — and one that could shift a team’s fortunes before Week 1.

    Eagles Star CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
    Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 game , as his cousin Justin Fuller a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.   Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.”   DeJean —whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dejean that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how he lives and plays today.” In the Eagles’ defensive system, DeJean has steadily earned complete trust thanks to his versatility — working outside at corner, in the slot (nickel), and on coverage units — and standing out for top-end speed, precise tackling angles, and the ability to read quarterbacks. Coaches describe him as “calm, wise beyond his years, and disciplined at the catch point,” consistently maintaining leverage and finishing clean in tight spaces. Through the first five games of 2025, DeJean has played every defensive snap and totaled 36 tackles (26 solo) with five passes defensed, reinforcing his value on the perimeter and inside.  The Philadelphia Eagles have provided time and private support for DeJean and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. An FAA investigation into the accident is underway, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in across social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. DeJean kept his public remarks brief before being embraced by teammates:“He taught me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
