Sources – Philadelphia Eagles traded QB Carson Wentz against Indianapolis Colts for two drafts

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to swap Carson Wentz, the star quarterback, for the Indianapolis Colts for a draft pick in the third round in 2021 and a conditional pick in the second round of 2022 that could for the first time turn, league sources told ESPN.

The Eagles will receive the 85th overall pick in this year’s draft, according to sources, and the conditional second player could be a first-round pick, according to sources. According to sources, Wentz must play at least 75% of the Colts’ offensive attacks for the conditional pick in 2022.

The pick could also be a first-class pick if Wentz plays at least 70% of the snaps and the Colts win the playoffs. But the worst that could be the 2022 pick is a second player, meaning the Eagles are assured they will pick two values ​​for the former overall number 2 in the 2016 draft.

Each team walks away in all areas with what they wanted: Wentz will be reunited with Frank Reich, head coach of the Colts, his former attacking coordinator in Philadelphia, and will help fill the void left by Philip Rivers’ retirement while the Eagles will likely turn to Jalen. Hurt, although they also intend to set up competition for him. The Eagles’ starting lineup is not expected to be Hurts automatically.

Trading Wentz is the end of an unexpected chapter and year with the Eagles. Wentz went from a former MVP candidate to supporting Hurts – a rookie in the second round in 2020 – while his relationship with former Eagles coach Doug Pederson broke down.

Wentz wanted to leave Philadelphia – despite the Eagles appointing former Colts attacking coordinator Nick Sirianni as their new head coach.
