The Facts: The Eagles are remaining firm on their asking price for Wentz, and the trade market has cooled. A person with knowledge of the Eagles’ negotiations told NJ.com's Mike Kaye the potential trade partners have remained “disciplined” in negotiations, unwilling to meet the Eagles’ demands. “They don’t want to give (Wentz) up for much less than (the Matthew Stafford haul),” another person with knowledge of the negotiations told Kay on Tuesday.
Diehards Line: The Detroit Lions sent Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for the Rams’ first-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023, a third-round pick in 2021, and quarterback Jared Goff. The Colts have asked for additional compensation -- a player, players or picks -- along with Wentz in order to get close to the Eagles’ demands, according to a third person with knowledge of negotiations told Kaye. There’s a sense that the Chicago Bears -- another interested party -- are growing impatient, one of the sources said. According to Kaye, the Bears believe the Eagles have overvalued Wentz. Whether a trade is imminent or not, Kaye’s source on the initial report remained adamant that Wentz is still likely to be dealt, even if negotiations extend beyond this week.
