Somebody has to play Taysum Hill on the scout team.
Expensive to keep Wentz, more expensive to trade Wentz, and even more expensive to cut Wentz in 2021.
The Eagles have little choice but to 'keep' him. Unless they just want to unload him in a trade and eat $34M, which is an extra $9M more than they would pay to keep him in 2021.
If I were the Eagles, I would look to trade him and eat the extra $9M for a total of $34M cap hit on 2021 for the QB position. Get it over with. Not sure what they could get in a trade. They might have to give up a pick just to get someone to trade for him.
Not the same...but similar circumstances to what the Cowboys were facing four years ago-Of course they are. They have no choice.
His dead cap hit would be monsterous. Somewhere around $60M
The Eagles aren't "keeping" him. They are stuck with him
I was right Hurts would take Eagles QB1 before 2020 season ended - Wentz has not completely recovered from last season injury. He rushed come back due to Eagles drafting Hurts.
They have to as the extension kicks in next year. Another lesson in plain sight to let Dak walk and not deal with a good Qb crippling this team. Wake up people!!!Eagles intend to keep QB Wentz, sources say
The Eagles still have every intention to keep Carson Wentz and have him be a major part of their team, sources told ESPN, even though the struggling QB has been benched in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts.
