Yahoo Sports NFL on Tanner McKee

McKee slightly ahead of Dalton for backup role but competition remains close; league uninterested.

Competing with Andy Dalton for the backup quarterback role. Neither had a particularly good summer; each was effective in one preseason game (McKee in New England, Dalton vs. the Bengals) and had some good and bad days at practice. McKee may have nudged ahead of Dalton over the last couple weeks, but the competition is close. The source would feel more comfortable with McKee as No. 2 than the 38-year-old Dalton, though it wouldn't be shocking if Nick Sirianni and Sean Mannion decide to go with Dalton because of his experience. The fact that Howie Roseman hasn't been able to trade either tells you what the rest of the league thinks of them.
