Wentz Traded to Washington for 2 3rd Rounders per Bleacher Report

[Gart Monk]

Anyone who has watched the Eagles “All For Nothing” season on Amazon Prime  can clearly see that CW has terrible charisma for a team leadership position.  CW was so cringe that I had to quit that season because of him.  Not worth the picks or the salary.  I score this trade 5 Clowns for WSH

 

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I honestly can't believe this is our answer after our front office was reportedly "obsessed" about getting it right.

The escalating pick irritates me.  Shouldn't have had to sweeten the deal and then swap 2nds as well?  Colts squeezed our FO for all the juice possible.

If this is how it shakes out then its not really a bad move imo. We needed to do something. 

 

If they dont draft a guy though......woof

Wentz was tripping when eagles drafted Hurtz... how do you think he will react to a rookie QB drafted high this time around?   I actually think this move means Wash will not draft a QB in the top 2 rounds this year.

Honestly, it's the perfect franchise for him.  A QB with a dysfunctional career headed to a dysfunctional organization.  With everything that goes on in Washington with that franchise, it'll deflect negative attention from him.

 

In a million years I never imagined the Eagles would be catching passes from him again….

 

 

Which would mean next year SportsCenter will do an awkward 2 minute piece about how Wentz has narrowed it down to a few potential teams while there is a backdrop of him throwing a football in the ocean with his gut flopping around.   PLEASE make that happen.

 

 

If you had told me 5 years ago that Wentz would be QBing for the Commanders in 2022, I would have said...

"who the eff are the commanders, some arena league team or something?"

 

The Eagles message board is lawless and funny as hell

Agreed, I'm perfectly fine with this if we still draft a first round QB this year.

 

But if we run out there with Wentz as the longterm answer knowing Taylor will start a game or two in 2022 because Wentz can't stay healthy, shame on us and boo this fn :look I did something" plan.

[FrFan]

Another waist of valuable draft picks, same old team. Dan is that you ?

That should have been the plan to begin with. So why throw away picks? It just doesnt make sense. There is some trash can vet that would come here.

[NewCliche21]

Wait, like, on purpose?

[moondog]

Soooo, we traded for an injury prone QB, that has serious character issues? And the coach he had the most success with who traded a 1st round pick for him jettisoned him after one year? Where do I sign?

[Commander Adama]

Colin Cowherd likes the move??

Sorry, can't spare any now...I can't be "Woke For Wentz".

I can see the case for wanting Winston over Wentz right now, talking to my Dad via text about that now. 

 

But anybody else?  I...I don't know, man, we've backed ourselves into the type of corner that "any veteran QB not named Taylor Heinicke" starting for us next year wasn't going to happen.

 

We clearly desperately wanted someone with high upside, even if it wasn't high current production, to work from.  Not saying that was the right plan, jus that I never believed someone like Trubisky level player would be starting for us next year based on the way Ron was talking lately.

[Stadium-Armory]

We had to do something. 

[ultravin]

I wouldn’t get a qb this year.  RR will probably get fired after this season.  Let the new regime get a qb.  Picking a qb this season would be a waste.

FA QBs dont have upsides. Or upsides that dont matter. Franchises have realized they wont realize the. The only reason to have a FA QB in this offseason is so you dont have to watch TH noodle arm the ball over the field and not have to throw the QB draft pick in week one to the wolves if hes not ready.

He (helped) take the eagles to a Superbowl. His career has changed significantly since then and he does not have the pull here he had there. For this price we really dont care if he fails or decides he doesnt want to play. We took a shot, and it really didnt hurt the team to do it. Thats the best kind of low risk high reward play we could make at the moment. 

 

This is not us trading 3 firsts and our soul for Griffin. We can recover if this ends up being a failure and thats the point of the move. 

[markmills67]

Is there any chance we can take some of Wentz cap hit further down the road?. 

[Stadium-Armory]

I don't think he'll get us over the hump. He might get us to the hump, though. If only we could draft a new owner and sign a new team culture in free agency.

[Koolblue13]

4-1 TD to Picks, 210 ypg, 6'3" 240lbs with wheels and a cannon of an arm. 

 

This is a great move for us. 

 

He had meh WRs, shaky Oline and no TE last year and still put up great stats.

Exactly. Which is why it's so rare for them to hit the open market like say Kirk did.

 

Having said that, point remains, we weren't going to sign a free agent that a team willingly moved on from, it was always going to be a trade for someone the franchise could pass as a possible immediate solution to our not having a franchise QB problem.

Is that you Carson?

And all it really does is tells me that I this franchise isnt serious about winning anything of note or simply doesnt understand the league/position/NFL.

 

Its all about selling to a fan base.

No, it's just old Kool sipping the upside koolaid with my burgundy colored glasses on.

 

Best QB this team has had in a very long time and it's not close. This is a Brad Johnson, Mark Boonell type move and I'm here for it. 

 

I can't imagine a better move that we could have made. We have a top 12 QB and if it doesn't work out we can easily walk away from it and we still have our 1rst rounders.

 

There is no down side to this.
