Many teams would show interest in negotiations for Wentz, including the Colts
His defender Philadelphia Eagles, Carson Wentz, which was replaced by the rookie Jalen Hurts in the last month, still intends to request the transaction out of season because his relationship with head coach Doug Pederson is fractured and cannot be repaired, according to league sources.
Eagles are looking for this potential development, but a team member has shown ESPN what the the organization will charge a significant price for Wentz, the defender they selected with the second general election in the 2016 draft.
Many teams would be interested in negotiating for Wentz, including Indianapolis Colts, whose coach Frank Reich, was Wentz’s offensive coordinator in Philadelphia.
As Hurts begin their fourth straight game Sunday night, Wentz will be a healthy idler in the final game of the season in Philadelphia against the Washington football team, an ESPN source confirmed.
Pederson said earlier this week that he has “a ton of confidence” in Wentz and wants to “fix” the problems that led to the former Pro Bowler’s decline for the season.
Pederson is expected to continue as head coach, but will have a meeting Tuesday with owner Jeffrey Lurie to discuss the franchise’s losing campaign, potential team and coach changes, and the Wentz defender’s solution to come out.
If it is determined that the relationship between Wentz and Pederson is truly extraordinary, the plan must take into account some maneuvers within the salary limit. Wentz and his representatives are willing to work with general manager Howie Roseman to facilitate the exit, league sources pointed out ESPN.
