Eagles asking price for Wentz is two #1 picks

If Carr were to get cut then that would be a great option by not having to give up draft capital

Getting Wentz for a second is a very good deal for the Colts IMO

I agree if it's only one 2nd and not two 2nds. Especially since it's an odd year, so Ballard's due for 2nd round busts this year, lol.

You call media hit pieces "reality"? That's the narrative you seem to want to believe, so you're clinging to any evidence of it. Reality is often much different than what is written in hit pieces or fluff pieces, and if Ballard and Reich are still pursuing it (which all reports indicate they are), it's because they think Reich can fix him. Also, the hit pieces vary from "he can't take tough coaching" to "Press Taylor was too soft on him", which is why I tend to take them with a grain of salt and believe in the proven talent evaluators of the Colts.

You add his dropping off a cliff performance with a lot of reports coming out showing that he's a possible head case, and bringing him in clearly has potential for disaster.

Something else that shouldn't be overlooked is that the Eagles have really struggled with Wentz at QB since his injury. In 2018 they had a losing record with him and were much better with Foles starting (you can also argue that they were just as good with Foles in 2017). While in 2019 they did win 9 games and made the playoffs, they in all likelihood would have had a losing record if they were in any division other than the NFC Least. And obviously they were one of the worst teams in the league in 2020.

I said it would've been similar, maybe 2 first round picks and another later pick, a Day 2 pick or some such thing. That's less than Watson, but certainly much more than anything being discussed by anyone who isn't Howie Roseman. Also, the extent to which you can measure the value of a QB by the success of their team is limited IMO. Peyton Manning in a 4 year stretch was the starting QB of a 3-13 team and a 6-10 team, but I've heard he was a pretty great QB.

I don’t know if I like a 2nd for him honestly. Kinda hope Howie gets all prideful and refuses to trade him to us.

I feel that whatever we give for him, if we get him, will be reasonable. Ballard has already decided what he is worth to the Colts and won’t pay more. I really love the way he runs this team. Not saying he will hit gold with this search, just don’t think we will sacrifice the franchise future the way some do.

My order of preference

1. Sam Darnold
2. Carson Wentz
3. Trade up for Zach Wilson

Options 1 and 2 only if the #1 pick is not part of the trade. We need a new LT

@AdamSchefter
Philadelphia has agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first, league sources tell @mortreport and me.

wonder what the conditions are?

Per

:

The conditional 2nd rounder in 2022 becomes a 1st rounder if Wentz plays 75 percent of the snaps or 70 percent and the team makes the playoffs.
