Carson Wentz trade: Former Eagles quarterback returns to the N

Nicely, girls and gentleman, Carson Wentz is coming again to the NFC East!

The Washington Commanders are buying the previous Philadelphia Eagles quarterback from the Indianapolis Colts for “a bundle of picks that’s thought to incorporate two third-round picks,” based on NFL insider Adam Schefter. Washington can also be reportedly taking over his full contract versus the Colts paying any of his remaining cash. UPDATE: The compensation particulars have been revealed.

My official response to this information?

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I can’t imagine that is taking place.

On the exact same day {that a} story emerged further painting Wentz in a bad light, nonetheless!

Everybody knew that Washington was very determined for quarterback assist. They weren’t shy to confess as a lot publicly. However buying and selling for Wentz is a complete new stage of desperation.

He gives extra upside than Taylor Heinicke from a bodily expertise standpoint, to make sure. However is he even undoubtedly higher than him at this level? And by a major margin?

You actually weren’t deterred by the Colts being so prepared to surrender on him only one 12 months after they traded a first-round choose (No. 16 general) and a third-round choose to get him? You aren’t involved that Frank Reich, who was Wentz’s greatest remaining backer within the NFL, not wished to work with him?

Superb.

Washington will get so, SO a lot flawed each on and off the sector. That is simply one other massive, embarrassing mistake for them.

And it’s a lot to the Eagles’ delight. They’re ensured that one in every of their division rivals gained’t be in a spot to really contend for something significant.

Wentz’s arrival in Washington clearly provides a whole new stage of intrigue to the Eagles’ annual two matchups with the Commanders. Wentz presumably going up in opposition to his predecessor in Jalen Hurts will probably be fascinating to see. It’ll even be fascinating to see how Wentz is obtained when he visits Lincoln Monetary Area (spoiler alert: there will probably be loads of boos).

Wentz left an advanced legacy behind in Philly contemplating how he in the end did assist the Eagles win their first Super Bowl. Most of us believed in him because the staff’s long-term franchise quarterback at one cut-off date, and a few till he was traded to Indy (and maybe nonetheless do?!).

However Wentz is undoubtedly the enemy now and it’ll be straightforward to root in opposition to him.
