Before the Super Bowl, we heard that a Carson Wentz trade threatens. However, according to NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo, the Eagles are nowhere near closing a deal with any of the interested teams. Twitter). 
The Bears and Colts are among the teams watching No. 11, but the other clubs involved remain a mystery. The other teams are believed to have missed the new Rams starter Matthew Stafford could entertain Wentz – that list includes the Broncos, Panthers and 49ers. Of course, the Panthers and Broncos would rather have a deal for it Deshaun Watson, whether they can work the Texans into a reasonable request. One of those two players will likely be the next domino to fall in the QB carousel.
The Colts, who just lost Philip Rivers retiring would make sense to Wentz. Wentz, meanwhile, wouldn’t mind reuniting with a former mentor Frank Reich.
The Eagles have publicly said they would like to move on with Wentz, but the North Dakota state product still wants to get out. Every team that hires him also accepts his sizable contract, which runs until 2024. There is, however, an escape hatch after the 2022 season, which helps somewhat. In any case, the Eagles won’t be able to match the Stafford package of two first-round selections and a third-rounder. Stafford has more appeal at this point, and the Lions took over Jared Goffs hefty contract to score all that design capital.
