What Yahoo Sports Said About Wentz To Colts

[King Colt]

Senior Yahoo sports reporter Charles Robinson was on Jim Rome this Monday morning and said the Colts "would be crazy not to contact him about a job". I pray this does not happen. Maybe Hoody will take him. 

[Valpo2004]

It depends on how desperate the Eagles are to trade him away.

 

Because of his play it would be at this point difficult to replace Rivers on the Colts if Rivers wanted to come back.  

 

On the other hand for the long term I think Wentz is about as good of a prospect as there is.  He had periods of great play and only one bad year.  

 

The contract might be a bit much to swallow but people forget that if the Eagles trade him away they have to pay his signing bonus.  

[Four2itus]

HIs comments in the media tell me his head isn't right. I think Ballard will turn away.

His contract is to insane for BB and he is a project and very injury prone. IMO BB wants Jimmy G back if the 49ers cut him.

[Colts1324]

I think Bill B goes after Winston or drafts a QB. There is no purpose for them to get an old QB, or a QB that has many question marks. 
 

They are in cap hell, and they lack talent on all phases of their team. 
 

QB, RB, WR, D-Line, LB's, Safety, etc

People are also talking about Derek Carr to the Colts... so there's that.

[crazycolt1]

Personally, if I were Ballard I would stay away from Wentz. 

IMO Rivers will be our QB next season with Eason as the #2. 

[King Colt]

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Stick with a winner meaning Rivers next year,

[NannyMcafee]

Run away from horrible teammate Wentz.

I would much rather us bring back Curtis Painter than trade for Wentz, Carr or Darnold.

If Painter is fine playing for free, sure. He's great at holding clipboards.

Seems like there's a new Wentz thread everyday now

I guess you figure there's a elite cant miss QB in 2022 draft and having Painter as our QB we will get the #1 overall pick. Lol

Yep and he’ll cost less than any of those 3 as well!

The only way I’d even remotely try to take on Wentz’s contract is if the Eagles gave me 3 number 1s.

Actually I believe it was explained here the other day his contact wasn't outrageous and definitely doable and possibly a high draft pick in return. 

The question is bringing back Rivers for 1 more year OR gambling on fixing Wentz and maybe having a Franchise QB in his prime for the present & future?

Bring Rivers back

Take shot at Trask or Jones for 22

 

BUT

and thats a huge but...

Don't trade up whatsoever 

 

Jones is probably more likely infact

Trade back in 1st get extra 2 and draft Jones

If I was Ballard I'd go after Wentz hard and either draft a QB I like to compete with Eason or bring in 2nd tier veteran incase Wentz & Eason doesn't workout. The finances would be least of my concerns.

Wentz is broken and beyond service

Hard? That implies you are ok giving up high pick. Please clarify

I pray it does not happen, either. These people have got to stop saying stuff like this. Can't let people speak this in to existence.

I heard Eagles would give a high pick to move him. 

Could you imagine Ballard with a additional high pick?

Maybe, maybe not?? 

But he's still young and healthy and many feel he's worth the gamble. Especially for a team that's future QB situation is unknown. That's why the talking heads connect the dots to the Colts.

The team that trades for him may get Wentz AND a pick. The team getting him doesn't give up anything, They just take on his contract. 

That's just what I heard.

No team just gives up picks or players for nothing

Not sure but I think Denver gave up picks to get rid of their QB and his contract. I forgot his name, he played like half the season with Peyton the year they won SB. I think the Brownies were the other team involved?

Depends on the rookie but that would be very very risky. It's not like the rookie would be a Trevor Lawrence or a justin fields type of prospect.

That's the whole point though!

You are getting an unknown on a rookie contract. Wentz is an unknown with a terrible contract.

Why are you so obsessed with contracts?  Do you think a lower tier rookie prospect has the same upside that Wentz had in his couple good seasons ? He was on his way to the MVP before getting injured. When he leaves that Dumpster Fire aka the Eagles he might return to that player. It only takes money to find out. 

 

Some don't want him.

Some think he's worth the chance. 

I'm done talking about it.

Its the business side of the NFL that most people tend to overlook. I understand you want him and I'm not bashing that but you must know the importance to the entire team how much 1 contract can hurt a team.

 

Clearly there are ways Wentz could be had through trade possibly or restructuring his contract after he's cut but until then all that is an educated guess.

 

Knowing what we know now Wentz isn't worth it but I do agree to some extent that a change of scenery could be good for him.

The Eagles can’t afford to Wentz this off-season and probably not trade him either.

Rivers is most likely going to be the Colts QB next year.  Why would they want to move on from him if he wants to play?  He’s done everything the Colts hoped he would and more when he came here.  
 

Of course the media is going to speculate about Wentz coming here because of his ties with Frank that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen or that it’s likely to happen either.

I agree completely. I didn't clarify on Wentz. He wouldn't be cut this year. By 2022 like said before Colts could just roll with Eason or rookie from 21 or 22

Well I expect Rivers to be back for 2021.  2022 could be interesting.  Clearly Rivers play and desire to play will play into that.  I think Rivers is in a situation where he goes year to year from now to the end of his career with contracts.  
 

Eason is going to have to earn the starting chance in 2022.  It’s not unheard of for fourth round draft picks at QB to just be career backups so there is no promise he will get a chance to start.  How he performs and just how things fall we clearly decide if he gets a chance or the Colts have to go get someone.

Literally the only veteran I would want after Rivers is Rodgers and I am not sure how that's possible yet.

Ah, that would be Mr. Brock Osweiler, the behemoth who got a huge deal with the Texans only to lose the starting role to Tom Savage. 

[ColtJax]

If he's traded the team who takes him will be getting the draft pick just to eat that salary. I can see the Colts taking a 3rd and his contact. He has a lot of talent, the Eagles have no line and worse WR's. He could do good here, as could Darnold..

I'm afraid both could be damaged goods

[Dark Superman]

Wentz will be in Philadelphia in 2021. No one in their right mind is going to trade for a guy making over 30 million dollars a year with how poorly he's been playing.
