Tanner McKee

Every team Tanner McKee could start for this season

I saw it. You saw it. Tanner McKee is the truth.

Yeah, it was only one half of preseason ball, but the guy led two scoring drives against the Bengalsโ€™ starters. And if thatโ€™s not enough for you, just use your eyes โ€” he can make every throw, heโ€™s sneakily mobile, and he just slings it all over the yard.

McKee wrapped up the first half going 14-for-17, 193 yards, 2 touchdowns, and a 153.2 QB rating. Absolute animal. Iโ€™m literally writing this while the third quarter is still going on โ€” couldnโ€™t even wait.

Not only is McKee probably the best backup quarterback in the NFL, but he could start for multiple teams right now. So, letโ€™s break it down โ€” which teams could Tanner McKee actually start for this season?

Teams Tanner McKee Definitely Would Not Start For:

  • Eagles
  • Chiefs
  • Ravens
  • Bengals
  • Bills
  • Commanders
  • Broncos
  • Chargers
  • Texans
  • Patriots

This list is pretty self-explanatory. Personally, I think he could probably outplay Justin Herbert in L.A., but the NFL zeitgeist isnโ€™t ready for that conversation.

You might be surprised by the Broncos being here, but Sean Payton loves Bo Nix and he closed last season strong. While Iโ€™d still take McKee, I get it โ€” everyoneโ€™s got their type.


Teams That Should Consider Trading for McKee:

  • Cardinals
  • Falcons
  • Panthers
  • Bears
  • Browns
  • Cowboys
  • Lions
  • Packers
  • Colts
  • Jaguars
  • Rams
  • Vikings
  • Saints
  • Raiders
  • Giants
  • Dolphins
  • 49ers
  • Seahawks
  • Jets
  • Steelers
  • Buccaneers
  • Titans

I donโ€™t care what you say โ€” McKee could start for every single one of these teams. All 22. Donโ€™t lie to yourself. Deep down, you know itโ€™s true.

The no-brainers here? Browns, Saints, Vikings, Colts. Those front offices should be calling Howie Roseman right now. McKee would be a massive upgrade and actually make those teams watchable.

As for the rest, they should be calling Howie too, but sadly, theyโ€™re all still clinging to false hope in their current guys. Meanwhile, Tanner McKee is the truth.


The asking price? A first-round pick plus more. When you have a franchise quarterback in your building, you donโ€™t give him away โ€” you make teams pay franchise quarterback prices.

Weโ€™ll see how this season plays out. Hopefully, the Eagles can keep him one more year before flipping him in the offseason.
