Report: Carson Wentz wants Eagles to trade him if Jaylon Hurts continues to start
The season isn’t even over yet, but it’s already obvious that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to have an offseason filled with high drama.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that quarterback Carson Wentz is not happy with being bumped from his starting role in favor of Jalen Hurts,
and would want to “move on” from the team if that continues.
Drama in Philly?
According to Schefter, Wentz, 27, isn’t interested in being Hurts’ backup and would want the Eagles to trade him if that’s their plan for him going forward. He is also reportedly
“not pleased with the way events have unfolded in the organization.”
Wentz, who had been struggling for pretty much the entire season, was finally benched during the Eagles’ Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Hurts started against New Orleans Saints the following week and led the Eagles to an upset win. Hurts was then named starter for Week 15, and while head coach Doug Pederson hasn’t publicly said that Hurts will start the rest of the season, that’s reportedly the plan.
To add to Schefter’s report, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky reported last week that
“a lot of people feel that Carson Wentz feels betrayed” by how things have gone down this season, and there’s a lot of “animosity” built up between him and the Eagles. Orlovsky also reported that Wentz misses former offensive coordinator and current Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich, not just as a coach but as a human being.
