They certainly traded Wentz at his lowest value so far in his career, as he was awful last year.
But then, that's also why they traded him at all.

Eagles fans are besides themselves on 97.5 the fanatic today.

Nope.

They had to trade him if they wanted to get rid of him. Trading him saved them $800K against the cap this year. If they had cut him pre-June 1, they would have had an additional $24 million in cap charges this year (above the $33 million they already have to take).

There was no chance they were going to cut Wentz.

Correction they couldn't cut him, but the Colts were bidding against themselves, as we got nearer to March the price was dropping. If I was an Eagles fan I would be very happy tonight

He is? How did he get this reputation?
Won a SB as in Philly. Has been coaching good offenses for the last 7 seasons with second tier QBs. His work last year after losing Andrew Luck was remarkable. If you were starting a team and wanted a top OC or an offensive minded HC he wouldn’t be in your top 2 or 3 choices?

fwiw
Colin Cowherd believes Frank Reich will help turn Wentz back around
He put both the Colts and Rams in his top 7 contenders entering the 2021 season

OH LORD, Colin has had this fantasy man crush love affair for some reason , on Wentz since he came into the league. Its astounding why or how this guy gets the love he gets when he hasn't done anything of note outside of his rookie year. I never will understand why this guy gets all the mulligans he gets. If this were Dak I highly doubt that would be the case. LOTS of Dallas baked in hatred in the media.

Wentz looks like restoration project to me.
Cowherd was a bit too optimistic, imo.
Maybe it works out, maybe not

Wow, the Colts ride the ugly train when it comes to QBs:

John "Blockhead" Unitas
Peyton "The Forehead" Manning
Andrew "Roger Rabbit" Luck
and now Carson "Make me Wince" Wentz.

Some faces only Risen could love!
