The team wanted to bring Andy Dalton back to Philly, according to a report from Pro Football Talk. But Dalton "politely declined." Dalton began the 2026 season as Philly's No. 2 quarterback behind Hurts. But he was demoted to No. 3 after throwing an interception in his sole pass attempt as a member of the Eagles. The team then released him on the Friday leading up to the Eagles' Week 5 game.

Dalton declined Eagles' QB pursuit; age 39 with diminished physical tools.

Dalton declined the Eagles' pursuit to return as a backup QB option after being released in Week 5. At age 39, he was demoted to No. 3 after throwing an interception in his sole pass attempt with Philadelphia, then released ahead of Week 5. The source notes he looked physically diminished during offseason practices and preseason games, providing no short-term or long-term value to a potentially lost Eagles season.
