Eagles and Colts reach deal on Wentz trade

[FearTheCats]

Went over to an Eagles board just to see what they think and most of them are convinced that Hurts will be the guy. Hope they are right.

I dont think he was godawful and showed some bright spots.  Should have been 2-2 as the starter.  Might as well give him a chance.

I'm not a fan of Wentz really, but I am a huge fan of Reich. Best possible landing spot, and Reich will likely get the best out of him.

It's a double-edged sword though.

If Hurts is not the guy, they draft a quarterback.

If Hurts is the guy, they potentially trade the pick to someone else who drafts a quarterback.

Yup. We are finally being aggressive and it couldn’t come at a better time. I trust our GM and owner will get something done.

I bet Wentz has a better year than Stafford 

You'll lose that bet.

Or they do neither and take the BPA at OL / WR, let's include all three options ''triple-edge sword''. Their OL is old and they may be able to take Sewell / Slater at that spot. 

They're WR room is old as well Jackson / Jeffrey (Goodwin opt out) -- Jalen Reagor about the only bright spot at that position for them (maybe Fulgham as well) -- Waddle / Chase / Smith all have a chance to be there as well. 

So while I'm not saying they won't take a QB / or trade back, they don't have to do those things either.

It's possible.

Barring a trade, pretty sure we're going to be nervous about this right up to draft day.

lol at the people who honestly thought Wentz was going to net the Eagles 2 1st rounders. 

Most thought a few months ago there was no way the Eagles would be able to move Wentz. 

So the Eagles can move forward with their guy (Hurts) and Reich can try to fix Wentz. I’m shocked the Eagles got as high of picks as they did.

Eagles are starting Hurts . And they won’t trade that pick - they will take the best OT available.

All depends on Frank Reich, I suppose.

A couple of years ago Wentz looked like he was trending toward future MVP status. Not sure if it was the injuries or something else, but he fell hard.

I'm not even gonna try to predict what happens next with him.

I don't know why Panthers fans think that the Eagles would give up on Hurts so easily. The real question to me is whether the Eagles will trade their pick tp some team that wants to jump us.
