oh well, overall its not bad so lets hope that reich can get him back to mvp(ish) form
It's not a bad trade but, yeah, we'll probably lose that first rounder. I don't particularly care for Wentz, but he is probably the best we could have realistically gotten. I hope he's fixable and coachable. Reich is pretty much putting his job on the line with this.

If wentz plays well it will be worth it. If he plays well, that pick is in the 20’s.

interesting....

@spotrac
If #Eagles fans are angry now, wait until Frank Reich pulls a Doug Pederson and sits Carson Wentz every 3rd quarter to ensure the 2022 pick remains a 2nd round pick, not a first.

Well, If he's trash they can just bench him.

I don't love the first either.

Look at it this way, if the trade works out, it’s a late 1st rounder anyway, most likely.

I like this move for the sole reason that I don’t think they had any other realistic options, without selling the farm to do it.

I also like how we can get out after two years if need be. If he does return to form the salaries/cap hits dont look too bad and we have a QB signed for next 4 years. should be interesting to watch!

Ballard did as well as could be expected locking up a potential top 10 QB, for a possible 4 yrs @ $25mm per.

No real downside to this trade, particularly because the potential 1st round pick isn't from this years draft. Our team should be built after this years draft.

True, I guess I am more concerned with hitting the 75% mark but ending up 8-8. A middle first rounder for that is not ideal.

go colts

Seems like a decent deal for us. If Wentz turns things around and plays well, then we're set at QB with only giving up a 3rd and 1st.

What will suck is if he doesn't turn it around and we have to give up a 2nd next year for a bust. Plus next year is even, so if Ballard follows his trend we'll be giving up a likely really good player (as opposed to his odd year 2nd rounders which have all sucked).
