Carson Wentz Trade Confirmed; Indianapolis Colts Win the Race for Eagles Quarterback

After a long and arduous season in 2020, Carson Wentz has finally secured a move away from the Philadelphia Eagles as per NFL insider reports. The Frank Reich-led Indianapolis Colts have secured the signing of Wentz for the upcoming season.

The Matt Nagy-coached Chicago Bears were also reportedly in talks for a possible trade deal involving Wentz. But that did not work out as the Colts have eventually won the race for the Eagles quarterback.

The Carson Wentz-led Philadelphia Eagles suffered a disastrous outing in the NFL last year. They finished right at the bottom of the NFC East behind archrivals Dallas Cowboys. Wentz was made the scapegoat for their sub-par displays.

The former North Dakota man ended his season with 2,600+ passing yards with 16 touchdowns. But he also threw an embarrassing 15 interceptions in 12 games.

Former HC Doug Pederson had a fallout with the misfiring veteran and started rookie QB Jalen Hurts for the last 2 games of their campaign.
