Carson Wentz begins the next chapter of his football career, with the Philadelphia Eagles in the rearview mirror. Wentz was traded by the Eagles to the Indianapolis Colts for a choice of the third round in 2021 and a second round of 2022, which has the chance to become a first round if he and the Colts reach certain criteria next season.
Wentz already seems fueled to work with his new teammates. Colts corner Kenny Moore and safety Julian Blackmon have revealed that the team’s newest full-back has reached out to them. Wentz introduced himself to Moore and Blackmon – the only time the NFL has heard anything from him since being ousted by the Eagles in Week 13 last season.
Wentz has been quiet since the Eagles picked him, choosing not to address the many reports that have appeared since then. The latest report relates to Wentz’s relationship with former Eagles coach Doug Pederson, as the two apparently talked for ‘eight, nine, ten weeks’.
These reports are something that Wentz will have to address at some point, along with what has gone wrong in Philadelphia over the past year. From the selection of Jalen Hurts to the reports that he fell into disfavor in the Eagles locker room, Wentz’s initial press conference with the Colts will be interesting.
It’s been a long time since the NFL world heard of Wentz, but it’s over if you’re one of his new Colts teammates.
