The Washington Commanders get their new starting quarterback in the form of Carson Wentz for the upcoming season. The former Indy quarterback was traded on Wednesday along with a 2022 second-round pick to the commanders.

It is a strategic move that should put the Washington team in a healthy position to compete in the NFC East next year. They did lose a chance to acquire Jimmy Garoppolo from the trade market, but hopefully, they have made the right call.

The Indianapolis Colts will be signing their fifth quarterback in the past five years, with the first choice being former Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo. According to the NFL insider Adam Schefter, commanders were not patient enough to wait for Garoppolo and have rushed to get a new quarterback. Now, the race for the former Niners QB gets one more club in the form of the Indianapolis Colts.

Carson Wentz trade details

It’s no wonder that the Commanders were seeking a new Quarterback for a long time. According to sources, the Commanders called every QB, and most importantly Wilson was on their wish list.

Since Russell chose to cook for the Denver Broncos, the Washington front office was left with just a few options. And that might be one of the reasons why they made a hasty decision. Still, the team becomes a pretty strong contingent with Wentz as their new quarterback.

While the Commanders received Wentz along with his full contract and a 2022 second-round pick, the Colts were able to bag a 2022 third-rounder, a 2023 third-rounder, and a 2022 second-round selection from the side. Now, the Colts will have to find a new QB and no doubt they will go after Garoppolo or some hot trades in the market.

The race for Jimmy Garoppolo continues

The star Garoppolo is once again brewing hot in the market and many clubs are waiting to make a deal with him. However, the injury bug’s frequent surgeries and bruises are always a matter of concern for franchises.

The Superbowl contender has the experience and ability to turn the game to his favor. Apart from Colts, many other clubs are queued up to rope him in. Looks like a record-breaking deal is on the cards!
