The Facts: A fourth franchise in four seasons is on Wentz' wish list. Wentz is determined to continue his playing career and the quarterback is open to various roles that could help a team, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Saturday. Rapoport added Wentz was in Indianapolis last Friday night with his agents as he's looking to find his next suitor to play an eighth NFL season.
Diehards Line:
Wentz was released on Monday by the Washington Commanders, bringing about the third consecutive offseason in which the former No. 2 overall pick has been jettisoned from the team he played the previous season with. Wentz, 30, is a free agent and can be signed at any time (due to his release he does not have to wait until the new league year on March 15). Different this offseason is that Wentz was released after he was previously traded from the Eagles, who drafted him as their franchise QB of the future in 2016, to the Colts in the 2021 offseason, and then shipped from Indy to Washington last offseason. Evidenced by the Commanders cutting bait rather than chumming the waters, Wentz' suitors have grown fewer and fewer for three straight offseasons. Wentz' openness to participate in various roles indicates his self-awareness about where his career's at and that he'd be willing to be a backup and perhaps offer help to teams in certain packages, as a role QB of sorts. Wentz' days as a starter are done, but he's not ready to call it a career and appears ready to help the next club that gives him a contract in any way that he can.
