Eagles receiving calls about Carson Wentz

I am not against trading for Wentz if the price is right. The rest of his contract would put him in the $25-26 million range for the remainder of his career and his salary is only guaranteed for 2021 and it looks like his 2022 salary is partially guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2021 league year. So, if he is a bum he'd be relatively easy to cut. 

Pretty reminiscent of Cam in terms of positives and negatives. Ultra-high top end, major injury concerns and generally a polarizing QB to fans. You have to obviously be concerned with how bad he was this past season. Does he really just need a change of scenery or has he just lost "it." That's the thing about Cam, as bad as he got in the end, it was more about injuries than seeming to lose his command of the offense on the field. Wentz just didn't even look like he belonged in the league this past year. 

Super high risk, super high reward trade. Not sure I'd push a bunch of chips into the pot for that. Also not sure he fits what Rhule is supposedly looking for in players, either.

The thing about Wentz is that he never controlled the locker room. There are multiple articles out there stating that he played the game selfishly and wasn’t a team player. Tbh I don’t think he brings the leadership and poise to the locker room that you need from the position.

I rather have Wentz than Stafford. If the top 4 QBs are gone I wouldn’t mind going after Wentz. He’s only a year removed from carrying a horrible supporting cast to the playoffs 

Nah. Stafford is a much better QB and less injury prone. The top end of Wentz may be a little higher but Stafford has produced for years. Wentz hasn't.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
