the Eagles trade for Dalton? Fair question. Part of it was probably value. The Eagles gave up just a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Panthers to get Dalton in March. While he's past his prime, Dalton has started 169 games in his career and has the type of experience that teams often like in a backup quarterback.
