Hypothetical Bridgewater Trade

After watching the Eagles win yesterday, I'd say it's more than likely that Jalen Hurts becomes the long term QB for the Philadelphia Eagles. That leaves them in a precarious situation with Carson Wentz, to whom the Eagles backed up the Brinks truck for. A thought came across my head after the game.  

Should the Panthers not take a QB in this upcoming draft (for whatever reason) and if Wentz was willing to restructure his contract (to Bridgewater salary levels) would you trade Teddy Bridgewater for Carson Wentz straight up? 

Philly gets a mentor that can work with Hurts on the finer parts of the game while the Panthers get a former MVP candidate reclamation project. Is Penei Sewell + Wentz better than a choice of Wilson/Lance/Trask? I don't know but it's an interesting thought.

Thought I might share a potential alternative solution for replacing Teddy besides drafting Wilson/Lance/Trask. 

Thoughts?

I don't think there is any amount of restructuring of Wentz's contract that would make the numbers pan out.  That is one contract that I think makes Hurney jealous. 

So, it would have to be a Philly release and FA signing.  That isn't going to happen because the dead cap he would carry for the Eagles would be approaching 1/3 of the salary cap next year, more if the worst case cap were to become reality.

Then add the fact that he has looked bad at almost any salary.

Not a bad idea to explore.  Philly would bear the brunt of the signing bonus stuff, which makes it not probable.

 

I mentioned it a week ago, as Carson is loved by teammates and they think it is not his fault for their bad play.  Sometimes a change of scenery is good for all involved.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
