The Facts: League sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Wentz, who was benched in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts last month, still plans to ask for a trade in the offseason because his relationship with head coach Doug Pederson is fractured beyond repair. The Eagles are aware of this potential development, but a team source told Mortensen that the organization's asking price for Wentz will be significant for the quarterback it selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Diehards Line:Multiple teams are expected to have interest in trading for Wentz, including the Indianapolis Colts, whose coach, Frank Reich, was Wentz's offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. Team sources also told ESPN last month that the Eagles intend to keep Wentz despite his season-long struggles and want him be a major part of their team going forward. But if the Eagles ultimately decide to move on from Wentz, they must make that decision by the second day of the 2021 league year -- sometime in mid-March -- because on the third day of the league year, his $22 million base salary for 2022 becomes fully guaranteed and his 2021 roster bonus of $10 million is paid out.
