better than cam

Eagles asking for 1sts.

 

[Redman443]

He’s a viable option. I’m not sure what we could trade for him though

 

[RIpats88]

Wonder to who.

Trade #1 pick Harry plus #1 pick Sony would be my 2 #1s offer. No?

(I would hate losing Sony but hey we have zero QBs & lots of RBs)

 

[slash83]

Hopefully not here.

Toss in one of the Belichick offspring and any of the 3 place kickers

Not BBs style to throw around picks like that. Especially for a unknown commodity like Wentz.

Jimmy will come on the cheap and maybe for nothing if he gets the boot relatively early in the 2021 season. I believe that BB learned his lesson on late play on Cam in the 11th hour.

Thought he was going to stay in Philly? That's why they hired the coach they did. He is a Frank Reich protege. I guess if the Colts want to overpay for him they would do it? Colts are a complete team without a QB. So trade away those picks...

Nobody here wants to trade for what these guys are going for

This is a lesson he needed to learn?

Got too used to the idea of winning with a QB that bent over backwards for the franchise.

Give it another 2 losing seasons before they realize that without a QB is like driving down the highway at 90 with no brakes.

I don’t Wontz Wentz.

 

[Simpelton]

Stay away from Carson Wentz. The man is damaged goods and isn't even a particularly good bet to finish the season in good health, much less lead a team anywhere.

Wentz took the team Foles won a Superbowl with and went 5-6, 9-7, 3-8-1. Not to mention losing his job twice in the last 4 years, once to Foles, once to Hurts.

And has missed significant time 2 of the last 3 years.

And he led the league in picks last year despite only playing 12 games

His only value right now is based on his reputation. While the talent is obvious, so are the problems, and I find myself preferring Jacoby Brissett over gambling on this guy returning to form.

I certainly prefer Brissett to gambling significant assets on a team already starved due to recent poor drafting, only to bring in a guy who MIGHT be good. Brissett brings a lower ceiling but a far higher floor and risk mitigation has to be a factor in the decisions.

Well, Im no fan of Jimmy, but how are FA WRs and maybe a TE going to sign here without some sense of stability at the QB position.

For the $ and belief BB will be competitive again.

 

[Keyser Söze]

Do...not...want

 

[Uptown]

I wouldn’t mind Wentz at a Belichickian price, but if he’s traded it’s most likely to Indy. Makes the most sense from both a scheme/need perspective.

 

[Ross12]

The contract is actually not too bad at all considering Philly is eating so much dead money from the signing bonus. I think it ends up being somewhere around $20m a year for several years with no dead money next year or onward if he’s cut.

Having said that I would rather just get Jimmy for a bit less than that same rate. I also kinda feel like SF may be the team who takes Wentz and then wants to offload Jimmy. Wentz seems like a fit in Shanahan’s offense to me.
