Wentz could be the latest veteran to slide in behind Patrick Mahomes as insurance, which has proven to be a necessity for K.C. That should be an appealing situation for Wentz as it'd give him an opportunity to try and turn around his career as a starter. With that in mind, Wentz could be a solid QB2 behind the league MVP. However, that doesn't mean he wouldn't be of value to a club somewhere in the league as a veteran backup. They also own the 19th pick in the draft, which is out of the range for where this year's crop of young quarterbacks is expected to come off the board. The Cardinals do have Colt McCoy under contract through next season, so there may not be much interest in Wentz, but this is another situation where a starting job could be available. The Bills are no strangers to bringing aboard highly drafted quarterbacks who have seen a fall from grace. The Buccaneers have a horrid cap situation this offseason, which may keep them out of the running for some of the upper-echelon quarterbacks who are expected to be on the market. At the time, Washington gave up multiple Day 2 draft picks, including a second-rounder last year, in hopes of solving its quarterback problem, but that never came to fruition as Wentz continued to struggle and started just seven games for the franchise. [NFL Draft](/nfl/draft/) or with a splash in the trade or free agency market. On top of being his head coach in Indy, Reich was his offensive coordinator during his days with the Philadelphia Eagles, so these two have quite the history. That's also not to mention that by releasing Wentz the Commanders have cleared $26.17 million in salary cap space.

Washington coach Ron Rivera said 2022 fifth-round pick Sam Howell is “more than likely” its starting quarterback entering the offseason.

Washington will add competition – expect a veteran – but not someone who automatically takes the starting job. The Commanders began shortly after the season presenting Howell as their QB1 entering then offseason program despite one career NFL start. After an eight week injury absence following thumb surgery, the quarterback threw three interceptions in Week 16 as Washington tossed away any remaining postseason hopes and boos rained down from the home crowd. Wentz’s one season with Washington did not include some of the internal drama experienced in Philadelphia and Indianapolis, but other hallmarks – taking too many sacks, inaccurate throws, turnovers – traveled with him. This release marks the third time in three years that a team cut ties with the quarterback whose desirable physical attributes could not overcome play style limitations and inconsistency. - The 30-year-old played in eight games last season, starting seven, throwing for 1,755 yards, 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

After just one season with the Commanders, former Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been released. By Dave Zangaro.

Eventually, the Eagles traded Wentz after the disastrous season in 2020 when Wentz was benched and the Eagles started Jalen Hurts down the stretch. The Eagles drafted Wentz with the No. Wentz wanted out so the Eagles gave him that chance in a trade that eventually looked like a huge steal. We saw them in 2019 when he won the last four games of the season to get the Eagles into the playoffs. It’s hard to believe Wentz was an MVP candidate and Pro Bowler in 2017 and helped lead the Eagles to an 11-2 record before tearing his ACL. Wentz was sacked nine times in that game as the Eagles won 24-8.

Quarterback Carson Wentz's time in the nation's capital is over. He went 2-5 as a starter after being traded from the Colts last March.

Wentz was originally drafted by the Eagles as the No. He lasted one up-and-down season in Indy before the Colts shipped him to Washington. Wentz was traded to Washington from the Indianapolis Colts last March prior to the 2022 NFL draft.

The Los Angeles Chargers have promoted Derrick Ansley to defensive coordinator. Ansley was the secondary coach on Brandon Staley's staff the past two seasons.

He takes over for Renaldo Hill, who left to join Miami's staff as pass-game coordinator. They were replaced by Jim Schwartz and Ray “Bubba” Ventrone, respectively. Rookie Sam Howell started the regular-season finale and goes into offseason workouts as the starting QB. He spent 19 seasons as a secondary coach prior to joining the Falcons. Ansley was the secondary coach on Brandon Staley's staff the past two seasons. — The Atlanta Falcons announced a plethora of changes to head coach Arthur Smith's staff on Monday, further restructuring his assistants after a fifth straight losing season.

Fue designado como tercer quarterback en el orden para el cierre de la campaña. En siete campañas y 92 salidas de inicio, Wentz ha tirado 151 envíos de touchdown contra 66 intercepciones. El equipo anotó un combinado de 55 puntos en los primeros dos partidos, pero únicamente 47 a lo largo de sus siguientes cuatro inicios. Duró una temporada como titular de los Colts.

Pero una derrota ante los Browns puso fin a cualquier oportunidad que tenían los Commanders de llegar a los playoffs, y el equipo terminó la temporada con el novato Sam Howell como titular. Pero después de ganar cinco de las primeras seis aperturas de Heinicke, los Commanders tuvieron una racha de tres juegos sin ganar. Después de que Wentz reemplazó a Heinicke durante el último cuarto de la derrota de Washington en San Francisco y completó 12 de 16 para 123 yardas y un pase de touchdown, fue elegido para comenzar en la Semana 17 contra Cleveland.

Tras la salida de Wentz, Sam Howell y Taylor Heinicke quedan como los únicos mariscales de campo del equipo. Es precisamente esta última estadística la cual generó dudas en el staff de coacheo comandado por Ron Rivera.

The moves save the Commanders nearly $29 million in cap space just weeks before the start of free agency on March 15 and pave the way for younger talent.

Howell will enter camp as the projected starter, but Coach Ron Rivera has indicated he hopes to add a veteran in some capacity, and new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy agreed there is a need for competition in the quarterbacks room. This offseason, he will be in search of his fourth team in four seasons, a sharp fall for the No. McCain’s versatility afforded the team flexibility in how it used its defensive backs, and as Washington reconfigures its secondary again, adding more position flexibility will be a priority. But the team’s needs extend to many positions, including the offensive line, tight end, linebacker and, of course, quarterback. For the first time in his career, Wentz will be a free agent. Wentz had only one year of guaranteed money left on his contract, so Washington was able to make a clean split without taking on dead money — or money that would count against its cap — after one season.

The Washington Commanders announced on Monday that they have released quarterback Carson Wentz.

As Carson Wentz looks for NFL life beyond the Commanders, these three teams make the most sense for the former Washington QB.

Finding a strong backup is key for Dallas as a backup has started at least one game for the Cowboys dating back to 2016. [he was benched](https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/12/13/falcons-qb-marcus-mariota-left-team-demotion) for Ridder. He would give Dallas a seasoned veteran at backup and someone they at least know can start if Prescott were to go down. Cooper Rush was impressive in his five starts for the Dallas Cowboys, going 4-1. Since entering the league in 2017, Rush has made just six total starts. After being released by the Commanders, [Wentz is now](https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-washington-makes-huge-carson-wentz-decision) looking for his fourth NFL franchise. Wentz isn’t the QB he was during the early portions of his career with the Eagles. Both are expected to battle for the starting QB spot when fully healthy. Many teams around the league could value him as a backup in NFL free agency. For any of these three teams, Wentz would be a major boost to the existing quarterback room. Wentz appeared in just eight games for the Commanders. However, he is still a former Pro Bowl quarterback with 92 games of starting experience.

It’s not a stretch to say the Commanders cost themselves a playoff berth in 2022 by trading for Wentz. In Wentz’s only season in Washington, the Commanders went 2-5 in games Wentz started, 5-3-1 in games The Commanders also cost themselves $28.3 million in salary cap space by acquiring Wentz for one year.

Wentz, who was traded for a handful of second-day draft picks, obviously didn't give the Commanders and head coach Ron Rivera much of a return on their ...

Since then, the two proceeded to share a bit of success in the NFL. Wentz reportedly exhibited a “lack of leadership” and “resistance to hard coaching and reckless style of play,” leading to his exit after just one season. Oh, and the fact that he was born in Raleigh, N.C. He started in just seven games—two of which Washington won—passing for 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His dismissal closed the book on what was a woeful one-year stint in the nation’s capital—where he was outshined by everyone’s favorite grit-filled insurance policy Taylor Heinicke and rookie Sam Howell. He’s brought back mentors and senior assistants Jim Caldwell and Dom Capers, carried over vice president of player development Brian Decker and game management coordinator George Li from Indianapolis and gave the passing game coordinator gig to Parks Frazier— [whose wedding](https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/15/panthers-hc-frank-reich-officiated-wedding-parks-frazier/) Reich officiated back in 2020.

Over the years, the QB's coachability has come into question — now the Commanders have cut ties.

The team will likely roll with Sam Howell as QB1. By releasing Wentz, the Commanders will reportedly save $26.2 million against the team’s salary cap.

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. But if we persevere in our faith and our striving to serve and honor God, we are destined to be justified, glorified, and perfected in Christ and live eternally free from suffering and pain with Him. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. What we may see as bad or even tragic news today may be exactly what is needed to fulfill God’s ultimate and perfect purpose in our lives. 27) and “according to His purpose” (v.28). Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And so for me, that’s a daily thing to have my mind renewed by the Word and just fully surrender to the Lord. He was traded to Indianapolis in 2021, spent one year with the Colts, and was traded to the Commanders last year. It is encouraging to see Carson Wentz keeping his faith in Christ in trying times. And I want to give everything I can in my life to ultimately glorify you as best I can.’ It just gives me a different perspective with everything that comes my way, the good, the bad, the ugly. “It can be easy to get consumed with your worldly, fleshly train of thought or desires or whatever,” Wentz previously told Faith On The Field. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, has had a hard time living up to his breakout year in 2017.

It looks like Carson Wentz will be looking for his fourth team in four seasons. But while it appears Wentz's career as a starting quarterback has hit a wall ...

2 overall draft pick — somehow reshaped the perception that he was a viable quarterback after spending one season as Allen’s backup in Buffalo. Despite throwing just eight passes in 2021, Trubisky turned that reshaped perception into a $14 million contract and starting gig with the Pittsburgh Steelers. With that being said, Wentz may be nowhere near close to the end of his career. “Remarkably, he will be 30 years old at the start of the season, and he would be well served to be in the best situation possible in terms of quarterback coaching. With that said, the marketplace will not react favorably to someone who didn’t play well on three teams in three years.” Although Wentz was injured during their playoff run, his performance helped lead the team to an eventual victory in Super Bowl LII. In a league where there is no shortage of teams looking for quarterbacks, signing Wentz to be your backup could be a difference maker. It was just several years ago back in 2017 that Wentz had led the Philadelphia Eagles to an 11-2 record as starter while throwing a robust 33 touchdowns versus just seven interceptions. There’s little doubt that Wentz has the talent to succeed in the NFL. As mentioned before, Wentz will be playing for his fourth different team in the past four years. “I think (former Eagles offensive coordinator and new Carolina Panthers coach) Frank Reich is the only head coach left who may believe in him enough to give it another shot,” said Banner. That means three teams in the past three seasons all decided that they’re better off without Wentz.
