I hope we are NOT one of those teams

So long as Fitterer isn't calling up begging for him.

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.

Injuries are too much of a concern. Unless they are unloading him  Goff style, no thank you.

Not just injuries. Dude developed a serious case of the Yips.  He may never be the same again. I would only consider signing for a vet minimum.

Wentz has done nothing but regress since their SB run.

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.

He's a broken man at the age of 28

There’s talk that teams would GET picks for taking wentz because of his contract and risk.

in other words, the eagles may have to pay to get rid of him.

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 

[Panthera onca]

He's a dick and his own teammates despise him. No thanks.

[Shotgun]

Wentz hasn't been the same since his injury. I would want at least a first round pick to take him and his terrible contract.

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.
