Eagles receiving calls about Carson Wentz

I am not against trading for Wentz if the price is right. The rest of his contract would put him in the $25-26 million range for the remainder of his career and his salary is only guaranteed for 2021 and it looks like his 2022 salary is partially guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2021 league year. So, if he is a bum he'd be relatively easy to cut. 

Pretty reminiscent of Cam in terms of positives and negatives. Ultra-high top end, major injury concerns and generally a polarizing QB to fans. You have to obviously be concerned with how bad he was this past season. Does he really just need a change of scenery or has he just lost "it." That's the thing about Cam, as bad as he got in the end, it was more about injuries than seeming to lose his command of the offense on the field. Wentz just didn't even look like he belonged in the league this past year. 

Super high risk, super high reward trade. Not sure I'd push a bunch of chips into the pot for that. Also not sure he fits what Rhule is supposedly looking for in players, either.

The thing about Wentz is that he never controlled the locker room. There are multiple articles out there stating that he played the game selfishly and wasn’t a team player. Tbh I don’t think he brings the leadership and poise to the locker room that you need from the position.

I rather have Wentz than Stafford. If the top 4 QBs are gone I wouldn’t mind going after Wentz. He’s only a year removed from carrying a horrible supporting cast to the playoffs 

Nah. Stafford is a much better QB and less injury prone. The top end of Wentz may be a little higher but Stafford has produced for years. Wentz hasn't.

    • i'm really digging everyone that we drafted. just looking at that list and i see most of them being people who can or will get used pretty heavily in the next few years. i think Horn will probably have the hardest time getting serious play time of all of them.  yeah...we definitely got three starters in that bunch coming out of the gate (TMac, Scourton, and Ransom) and four more that will be in heavy rotation.
    • i'm quite happy with this draft, especially after hitting all the stuff we did in the offseason leading up to the draft.  bringing in moering, bobby brown, and wharton was huge for us. so was dowdle. i think that set us up quite nicely for the draft.  i think tmac will be a really good target for bryce. same with mitchell. we've got a good WR room right now with a ton of potential. i REALLY like the TE room right now. RBs looks good now as well.  i think that defense is going to be a lot better next year as well. we added a lot of beef to the DL and a lot of boom to safety...all of it geared towards shutting down the run game. the last few weeks our pass rush was getting to the QB quite a bit and giving them a rough time. i think there was already a lot of momentum to build on there. it was just the run game that kept killing us. looks like we got that fixed.
