What Did Colts Trade For Carson Wentz?

The Eagles traded Wentz to the Colts for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 conditional second-round pick.

That pick turned into a first-rounder after Wentz played over 70% of Indianapolis’ snaps in 2021.

The former Eagles quarterback is being traded from the Indianapolis Colts to the Washington Commanders.

This trade, of course, means the Eagles will play Wentz twice next season, once at FedExField and once at Lincoln Financial Field, where he’ll return to play the team that once drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick.

Wentz, 29, lasted just one year in Indianapolis with Frank Reich and the Colts. His numbers weren’t bad in 2021. He threw for 3,563 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions, but floundered down the stretch and the Colts’ brass has been non-committal all offseason.

There was a time not that long ago when Wentz appeared to be a budding star in the NFL. He was great in 2017, putting together an MVP-level season in his second year in the league before tearing his ACL in December in LA.

He then watched Nick Foles lead his team to a Super Bowl run and parade and his career really never recovered since then.

There were some good plays in 2018. There was that stretch run in 2019, when he helped will the Eagles into the playoffs.

Wentz is back in the NFC East, joining a franchise that has been stuck in the mud for a while, and this will have a happy ending for him or the newly-named Commanders.
