Hmm, I assume the Colts got him so cheaply because they're stuck with that awful contract now right?

25mm for a QB is not THAT bad these days. Same price as Rivers....
Teddy Brigewater got $21mm last year.

Here is why I think it won't work out for Wentz. I was listening to a podcast and they talked about the year the Eagles won the SB and Wentz was in the conversation for MVP before he got injured. One of the statistics they pointed out in which he excelled was 3rd down conversions and, I believe the other was off script plays. On those he was way above average, but those statistics almost always come back down and just aren't able to be replicated. Outside of those things, he was a very average QB, and his accuracy as shown last year is terrible.

Maybe Reich can fix him, but I am doubtful.

Just not being in philly will prob be a big boost for Wentz brain before he even gets to indy

is a real risk though, if he goes sideways those are real picks. Worth it though, if he pans out they're a pretty decent contender.

A lot less than what was being reported, though. Curious what the conditions are on the 2nd next year. If that ends up even being just a 3rd, two 3rds to take a shot with how the rest of their team is set up is not that bad at all.

saw a thing saying it was he has to take 75 percent of their snaps and that 2nd turns into a 1st. It's minimum of a 2nd not maximum.

I mean 'fixing' Wentz has a pretty wide range of success too. Just getting him perform at a middle of the pack level would make that an ok trade, and anything better than middle of the pack is pure win.

Oof. Okay that hurts a little more. Although it is a 1st next year and not this year.

yeah, like i said they're real picks, but if it turns into a 1st it should be a late 1st in theory and a successful trade. if he sucks and it ends up being a 3 and a 2 that's pretty rough since those are real picks and that's a fairly substantial amount of contract to absorb, but if it works out they can be a real contender.

I think this will turn out well for the Colts and Wentz. They want to be a run first team, which already will help Wentz be successful. And getting out of the shitstorm mind fuck that is the Eagles and Philly is probably a huge weight off his shoulders. His best season was with Reich so theres familiarity and trust already established.

Plus I'm sure they did their evaluation of him for being fucked in the head competition wise. I hope he turns it around because it sucks seeing good players get fucked in shitty situations.

I think that's a good deal for the colts. If it pans out it will be a great deal. If ut doesn't they haven't screwed themselves that badly. Not like draft picks always equal a good player either.

There is no better team for a wentz trade then the colts. As many have stated Colts HC was Wentz OC during his MVP run.
That same HC is the NFL all time come back champ.

Its good for Indy long term, short term not so much. Overall still a descent mote though and the eagles get out of cap hell until their next fuckup.

The money they're paying him isn't that much at all. Around Bridgewater/Alex Smith money. After this year they could cut him with 0 dead cap money. He'll have something like the ~15th highest cap hit among QB's this year (that's right now before any deals are signed this offseason).

I was talking about if it goes sideways and he sucks. 26M for a good starting QB is fine. 26M for a dumpster fire is not.
