Sources – Philadelphia Eagles change QB Carson Wentz to Indianapolis Colts for two selection projects

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to replace star quarterback Carson Wentz at the Indianapolis Colts for a 2021 third-round draft pick and a 2022 second-round conditional pick that could turn into a first-rounder, say ESPN league sources.

The Eagles will receive the 85th general election in this year’s draft, and the conditional secondary round may become a first-round pick depending on Wentz’s playing time, according to sources. Wentz must play at least 75% of Colts’ offensive catches for the 2022 conditional election to pass to a first-rounder, according to sources.

The choice could also become a first-rounder if Wentz plays at least 70% of the snaps and the Colts reach the playoffs. But the worst election of 2022 is a secondary round, which means the eagles are sure to make up for two valuable choices for the former general selection no. 2 of the 2016 draft.

The Eagles and Colts have spent much of the past two weeks trying to complete the deal, which cannot be officially processed until the NFL New Year begins March 17.

The Eagles will receive a $ 33.8 million hit – the biggest deadlift any team has ever had for a player – while the Colts will take on the balance of Wentz’s $ 128 million expansion , including the $ 10 million guaranteed list bonus on March 19.

Each team is moving away from what it wanted on all fronts: Wentz will meet with Colts head coach Frank Reich, his former Philadelphia offensive coordinator, and help fill the gap left by Philip Rivers’ retirement in time. which Eagles will likely return to Jalen Doare, although he intends to compete for him as well. The Eagles’ initial job is not expected to be automatically Hurts.

Trading with Wentz marks the end of a chapter and an unexpected year with the Eagles. Wentz has gone from a former MVP candidate to supporting Hurts – a rookie in the second round in 2020 – while his relationship with former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has disintegrated.

Wentz wanted to leave Philadelphia – despite the fact that the Eagles hired former Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni as their new head coach.

Thursday’s blockbuster transaction also continues an already tumultuous off-season for defenders.

Less than three weeks after the Los Angeles Rams traded Jared Goff, the No. 1 draft pick in the 2016 draft, to the Detroit Lions for fellow quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Eagles have now traded the No. 1 pick. project at Colts.
