Not exactly breaking.

As big of a loser as McCarthy is.

 

[Ranched]

would not surprise me if the colts trade for him since his former qb and offensive coach is the headcoach. rivers might retire after this season.

This was evident a couple of weeks ago. Hurts will not be the LT answer at starter in Philly.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Didn’t we discuss this earlier? It’s a 44 MIL cap hit. I just can’t see how PHIL gets around that hit.

 

[Eddie]

This is why you don't give huge contracts to players who have yet to accomplish squat ...

 

[Joe Realist]

see if he is dressed as backup or in street clothes tonight. That will tell you everything.

Seems like an obvious destination. Wentz hasn't been the same since Reich left and Rivers only signed a one-year deal.

Their fans are delusional and think Wentz is gonna write a 20 mil check to the eagles

what a cry baby. pederson stuck with him for so long and stuck his neck out for him when he stunk for years. wentz is such a dork.

That’s where I’d go if I was him, they have a really good OLine and defense & this draft is loaded with WRs [again].

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Sounds like Wentz needs a tissue sponsor...

Right, I believe the cap hit makes it impossible.

Yeah, how would that work? If Wentz wanted out so bad, he could just redo his contract and PHIL could lower that cap hit? Is that possible?

 

[This is Our Year]

That’s def his best landing spot with Reich. Million dollar question is tho how do they work around the cap hit of a trade like that.

I wanna know too. If he take the trade and the new team accepts his contract why would there be a cap hit?

 

[Hawkeye19]

Wentz has issues— but there were plenty of eyebrows raised when Roseman drafted Hurts. That move does not convey confidence in your franchise QB you just signed to a mega-deal

Yes, these are pro athletes. But they are still humans lol... not everyone is motivated by competition and Wentz certainly did not respond well to someone looking over his shoulder lol

Would not surprise me at all if he ends up with Reich in Indy, and actually has a turnaround. He is more talented than what he showed this season— and Philly has just been brutal to him.

Indy is far more his personality than Philly lol

I wanna know too. If he take the trade and the new team accepts his contract why would there be a cap hit?

Philly already gave him a lot of money in terms of signing bonus. That money is divided over the remaining years of his contract but if he gets cut or traded, it hits the cap all at once. His new team can't take on salary dollars on their cap that they didn't pay.

I believe the specifics are that they gave him a $50m signing bonus in 2019, of which $17m has already hit the cap.

There is a $10m roster bonus for next year that I don't completely understand. Based on what I am reading, it also would go against Philly leaving the total around $43m.
