Eagles Wentz trade

February 18, 2021

Eagles land pair of picks from Colts for QB Wentz … We were going to post a brief update on some of the QB rumblings around the league these days which was going to include the note that Philadelphia was having trouble moving QB Carson Wentz as it appeared that the only team interested was Indianapolis. In fact, that’s where Wentz is headed as the Eagles and Colts have reportedly agreed on a deal in which the QB goes to Indy in exchange for a 3rd round pick this year – the 85th overall – along with a conditional 2nd rounder in 2022 that could escalate into a first-rounder if Wentz either plays at least 75% of the Colts’ offensive snaps next fall or plays at least 70% of the snaps and the Colts reach the playoffs. And with the departure of Wentz, Jalen Hurts becomes the de facto Eagles’ starting QB. However, he had something of an up-and-down rookie season last fall which may prompt Philadelphia to consider taking a QB with the 6th pick overall this coming April. Stay tuned!
