INDIANAPOLIS – To know what the Colts really thought of Carson Wentz's 2021 season, we got our final answer on Wednesday. In trading Wentz to the Washington ...
The 2022 draft class is thought to be one of the poorest in years. The free agency quarterback class in 2022 looks like a bunch of backups. The Colts will see Wentz this fall, with Washington playing at Lucas Oil Stadium in 2022. –Colts get: 2022 Pick 2-42 (from Commanders), 2022 Pick 3-73 (from Commanders), 2023 Round 3 Pick (from Commanders), which could bump up to a 2nd rounder if Wentz plays 70 percent of the offensive snaps in 2022 In trading Wentz to the Washington Commanders, the Colts said one year was enough in the evaluation of a player that cost them their first round pick in 2022. Washington is also absorbing the entire $28 million due to Wentz this year.
The former Eagles quarterback is being traded from the Indianapolis Colts to the Washington Commanders, NBC Sports Washington confirmed. ESPN first reported the ...
The Eagles didn’t necessarily want to trade Wentz last offseason but the damage was done and they ended up getting a lot back in the trade. It’s hard to imagine this will have a happy ending for him or the newly-named Commanders. “That will play some into it but ultimately we’ll make the decision we think is best both in the short and the long-term.” That pick turned into a first-rounder after Wentz played over 70% of Indianapolis’ snaps in 2021. It seems likely that some of the flaws in Wentz’s personality that we saw in Philadelphia turned up in Indy too. Wentz, 29, lasted just one year in Indianapolis with Frank Reich and the Colts. His numbers weren’t bad in 2021.
They've reportedly struck a deal to trade him to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a package of picks, per ESPN and confirmed by CBS Sports senior NFL ...
With the season on the line in Week 18, Wentz imploded and, as such, cost the Colts a seat in the postseason. Instead, they were able to get the Colts to accept their offer, and Wentz will now head to a former division rival in 2022. They've reportedly struck a deal to trade him to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a package of picks, per ESPN and confirmed by CBS Sports senior NFL reporter Jonathan Jones, one that might include two third-round selections.
The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to trade quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The nail on the coffin was the final month of the season when Wentz completed 58.3% of his passes for 615 yards, five touchdowns, two interceptions and an 86.1 passer rating. For the 2021 season, Wentz made every start for just the third time in his career. After just one season with the Colts, Wentz is already on his way out.
Washington's 2023 third-round pick can become a second-round pick if Wentz plays 70 percent of the snaps this year.
Washington and Indianapolis also swap second-round picks in the deal, which means the Colts will move up five spots in the deal from pick No. 47 to pick No. 42. The compensation is slightly less than what the Colts gave the Eagles for Wentz last year, which was a third-round pick and a conditional second-round pick that became a first-round pick due to Wentz’s playing time. Indianapolis is receiving a 2022 second-round pick, a 2022 third-round pick and a conditional 2023 third-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Commanders will get Wentz and a 2022 second-round pick.
The NFL's quarterback carousel continues to spin for a second straight day. The Indianapolis Colts are trading quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington ...
Ryan Fitzpatrick began last season as the team's starter, with Taylor Heinicke taking over after the veteran was sidelined by a hip injury. About to be 5 years with the Colts and 5 different QBs! Thank you Carson for everything this year my guy! The Colts will now have their fifth different starting quarterback in as many years.
The Colts are trading quarterback Carson Wentz to the Commanders for a package of picks, sources told ESPN.
Jacoby Brissett didn't show enough to prove to be the answer, Rivers was a bridge-gap quarterback at the tail end of his career and Wentz failed in his only season in Indianapolis. About to be 5 years with the Colts and 5 different QBs! Thank you Carson for everything this year my guy! "I'd like to quit Band-Aiding it," Colts general manager Chris Ballard said in January. "I'd like for Carson to be the long-term answer or find somebody who will be here for the next 10 to 12 years. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Wentz threw 27 touchdown passes and tied his career low in interceptions with seven last season. Wentz spent one season as the Colts' quarterback after Indianapolis gave the Philadelphia Eagles first- and third-round picks for him in February 2021. The Colts will receive the Commanders' third-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023, sources told Schefter. The 2023 third-rounder can become a second-round selection if Wentz plays 70% of Washington's snaps.
ESPN's Dan Orlovsky thinks the problems the Indianapolis Colts have with Carson Wentz aren't about his play on the field.
It sure seems that way. That's why I think they're more disappointed in the day to day person. "When I hear [Colts general manager] Chris Ballard say they're going to make the best decision for them now and in the future. and I don't want to be a jerk... It doesn't happen by accident over 12 weeks." When I hear 'the future', it makes me believe that Carson Wentz off the field, as a leader or as a person, doesn't match the person that's on the field."

The writing was on the wall for Carson Wentz's tenure with the Indianapolis Colts, and now the quarterback will be playing in a new city.
Because Wentz played 75 percent of the Colts’ snaps this past season, the Colts owe the Eagles a first-round pick for the trade last offseason. Wentz has been traded to the Washington Commanders for a second- and third-rounder in the 2022 NFL Draft and a third-rounder in 2023 that can go up to a second-round pick if Wentz plays 70 percent of the snaps, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. ESPN reported around the Super Bowl that Wentz was likely done with the Colts after one season, and head coach Frank Reich and GM Chris Ballard were both noncommittal at the time as to whether the quarterback would return in 2022.
The Indianapolis Colts are parting ways with quarterback Carson Wentz one year after acquiring him in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles.
I know I’m going to get a lot of questions about Carson right now, and I don’t have a great answer for you.’” My first reaction when I heard Chris Mortensen’s report that the Colts would try to trade Wentz in the next month: There’s something bubbling beneath the surface here. USA Today’s Josina Anderson: “Colts HC Frank Reich: I still believe in Carson Wentz. I stuck my neck out to get him here. Washington is paying the full $28 million due to Carson Wentz this year, which includes a $5 million roster bonus due next week.” For Carson Wentz and the Colts, it looks like it was a one-year marriage that went wrong.” The Colts trading Wentz comes as little surprise.
