Carson Wentz is on the move to Washington. Here's how experts say Chris Ballard did with the deal.
"With nine picks in this year's draft, Indianapolis has the resources to put together a trade for Garoppolo, a former Super Bowl starter who has a 37-16 career record as a starting quarterback. "While other picks were included, the Colts essentially gave up their 2022 first-round pick for one season with Wentz, a season that ended in disappointment," Bryan DeArdo wrote. And yet, the Colts got a massive downgrade in value from Washington. The Colts traded a 2021 third-round pick and their 16th overall pick in this year’s draft for Wentz, and they failed to make the playoffs. After dealing Wentz just a year after they got him, they are now stuck with a roster seemingly ready to win but have no clear option at quarterback, a form of football purgatory." While the Colts are probably patting themselves on the back for getting anything of value for Wentz following their odd offseason smear campaign, the fact of the matter is they absolutely cut off their nose to spite their face with their previous trade for Wentz. "The Colts made a mistake by making their initial trade for Wentz," Jacob Camenker said.

Maybe Wentz will finally learn something after things deteriorated the same way in a second place. Wentz's is such a staggering fall from grace. The guy possesses (or possessed, anyway) unique physical abilities that made him, briefly, a transcendent NFL quarterback, which is great.
Commanders defensive end Chase Young's Instagram reaction to the Carson Wentz trade summed up how every Washington fan feels right now.
Getting back to Wentz, though, it sounds like he was Young’s vote of confidence. The fact Young tagged Wentz suggests the former No. 2 overall pick’s are friendly with each other. In Washington’s Week 1 clash against Philadelphia, Young wrestled Wentz to the turf on a 3rd and 5.

In swapping Round 2 picks with Indy, the Commanders moved from the No. 42 overall pick to No. 47. What if you replaced Wentz with Jimmy Garoppolo. Would Washington still have its first two picks this year? Assuming the team has its eye on multiple prospects, it should walk away satisfied with the pick. That’s great value, even if the conditional third in 2023 becomes a second. Do they go best player available and give Terry McLaurin a new running mate? Now, the world is their oyster.
Before the Philadelphia Eagles could use the first-round pick they acquired from the Colts, Wentz was back in the NFC East -- for a division rival of the Eagles ...

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.

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.
