Wentz might be one and done with Colts

Even if Carson Wince goes on the market, we’re NOT paying him to be a backup. It simply won’t happen.

He’ll sign elsewhere, maybe with the Washington Red Hogs.

I was a fan of Wentz after the FCS game in Frisco and was hoping Dallas could/would draft him. It looked to me like he had the tools and the way he carried himself in the interviews. He was a 5 year player so more experienced. I know there were question about the level of competition he faced, but winning a Championship at any level is nothing to dismiss.

It’s strange to me how he has regressed so much from 2017. Maybe the big money contract affected his psyche. Or he couldn’t handle the sainthood bestowed on Foles and the QB controversy it created. Regardless, he likely has next year to resurrect his career. I just don’t see the Colts moving on until after next year because they don’t have another option.

I don't see where there is much of a choice. He is under contract and I don't believe there will be any FA QB any better than he is. Draft? Colts do not have a #1. I will say I agree with Pat Kerwin (NFL Radio) take on Wentz and that is he really has few weapons on the outside, you have Pittman and an older WR in TY Hilton who has been dealing with injuries for the last few years and little left in the tank. I think Colts have to stay with Wentz and use their 2nd to bring in a WR who can help or TE

I'm not sure they can't find similar talent that's less than a 28 million dollar cap hit.

Maybe we can sign him to our practice squad to back up Dak and Dinucci.....discuss

At this point he's no better than Rush, so..........no.

Which is sad, he was playing really well before the knee injury, not really sure what went wrong...

IMO two names to keep an on.......Jamis Winston and Matt Ryan

****Ryan is likely released by Falcons coz of $48M 2022 cap hit
****Colts actually wanted to sign Winston as a free agent backup before the 2020 season. He chose to play behind Drew Brees over Phillip Rivers
