The Philadelphia Eagles have officially parted ways with quarterback Andy Dalton, according to reports from NFL Network. Dalton’s release comes shortly after he was demoted from his role as the team’s primary backup quarterback.

The decision to move on from Dalton follows a high-profile error during a recent game against the Chicago Bears, where Dalton threw a costly interception. While the team has not issued a formal statement detailing the long-term roster implications of the move, the release marks the end of Dalton’s tenure with the organization following his shift down the depth chart.

Dalton, an experienced veteran, had been brought in to provide stability behind the team's starting quarterback. However, the combination of his performance in the Bears game and the subsequent decision to demote him signaled a change in the team's confidence regarding his role. The Eagles are now expected to adjust their quarterback room as they look toward future matchups.
