Quarterback Andy Dalton has officially passed his physical with the Philadelphia Eagles, finalizing his trade to the organization, according to @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
The successful physical marks the completion of the trade process, allowing Dalton to be formally added to the Eagles roster. The veteran signal-caller brings years of starting experience to the quarterback room in Philadelphia. Previously, the trade was contingent on the results of this medical evaluation, which has now been cleared by the team's medical staff.
Dalton joins the Eagles after a lengthy NFL career that includes multiple Pro Bowl selections. This move provides the Eagles with veteran depth and leadership at the quarterback position as they move forward with their roster construction for the season. The official confirmation ends the waiting period for the trade to be processed through the league office.
With the physical complete, Dalton is now cleared to participate in team activities and begin integrated work with the coaching staff and his new teammates immediately. The specific terms of the trade compensation remain as previously reported during the initial trade announcement.
