Many teams would show an interest in negotiating for Wentz, including the Colts.
The quarterback of Philadelphia Eagles, Carson Wentz, who was replaced by the rookie Jalen hurts in the past month still plan to apply for trade in the off season because his relationship with head coach Doug Pederson is broken and irreparable, according to competition sources.
Eagles are looking forward to this possible development, but a team insider pointed it out ESPN what the organization will ask a hefty price for Wentz, the quarterback they selected with the second overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Many teams would show an interest in negotiating for Wentz, including the Indianapolis Colts, whose coach Frank Reich was Wentz’s offensive coordinator in Philadelphia.
As Hurts kicks off his fourth game in a row on Sunday night, Wentz will be a healthy idle in Philadelphia’s season-specific game against the Washington Football Team, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Pederson said earlier this week that he has “a lot of faith” in Wentz and wants to “solve” the problems that led to the former Pro Bowler’s decline for the season.
Pederson is expected to continue as head coach, but will meet with owner Jeffrey Lurie Tuesday to discuss the franchise’s losing campaign, possible team and coaching changes, and the quarterback’s resolution with Wentz who will.
If it is determined that the relationship between Wentz and Pederson is really out of the question, the plan must take into account some maneuvers in the salary ceiling. Wentz and his representatives are willing to work with CEO Howie Roseman to facilitate the exit, competition sources pointed out ESPN.
