Eagles receiving calls about Carson Wentz

Carolina Panthers

cap space: $16 million

2021 draft positioning: Carolina has the eighth and 39th overall picks

Analysis: The Panthers reportedly offered their first-round pick-plus for Matthew Stafford. That doesn't mean they'll do the same for Wentz, but it's at least evidence they're being aggressive in pursuit of a new signal-caller. The pairing of Wentz and up-and-coming offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who interviewed for the Eagles' head-coaching job a couple weeks back, could be an interesting melding of the minds. Teddy Bridgewater remains under contract in Carolina and is scheduled to make $17 million this season

Dude has a SB ring and $78m (before tax) in his bank account. He's doing fine.

I’m sure he loves wearing that ring and thinking about how daddy Foles won it for him. That would eat my soul if I thought I was a MVP caliber QB

Let me wrap my head around this one...

Trading for an injury plagued former MVP caliber QB a year after cutting an injury plagued ACTUAL MVP QB? Good grief, this would be the very definition of NFL desperation.

Some team will think they can fix Wentz. 

Right or wrong, nobody in the league thinks they can fix Cam, hence the reason he signed for almost nothing last year.

Let's clarify one thing while we're having this discussion...

"In on every deal" doesn't mean we're going to make an offer on every single player that comes available. It just means we're going to check in on all of them.

If we think they have value, we'll evaluate it. If we evaluate and think "not worth it" we'll do nothing. If we see something we like though, we'll make an offer.

And don't get too hung up on  "aggressive" either. Just because we say we're "aggressive" doesn't mean we'll overspend.

Right now I'd say that team might be the Eagles. They hired Nick Sirianni on part because he was connected to Frank Reich.

But if not the Eagles, then possibly Reich himself.

I just don't see it.  The upside on Wentz is when he is good, he is very good.  He could lead a team to a Super Bowl.  But when he is bad, he doesn't deserve to be on the field.  He could lead the same team to a top 10 draft choice, as well. 

I've seen him mentioned most realistically with the Colts, Broncos, and even the Pats.  But they seem to be mentioned with any veteran QB who becomes available.

As comparing him to Stafford, until this year, it would be hard to say the trains they were each engineering had the same horsepower.  The Eagles roster has been consistently better than Detroit's.  If I had to take one of them, I'd take Stafford.  While his upside is probably not as high, his downside has not been as low, and his norm is slightly higher, IMO, and he has been more consistently near that norm.  I'm not even sure we have ever seen Wentz's "norm."

    • "Toughest call in football" LMAO. Easiest call. I thought for a minute about Green or Dareus, but at the first pick QB had a lot more value and Cam was a mile above what was a very weak class for non-Cam QBs. Gabbard was a second rounder at best.
    • Keep your head in the sand then:   Owners don’t typically offer personal endorsements, leadership praise, and clutch-game confidence all at once unless they view the quarterback as foundational. Sure, Carolina may still be gathering long-term proof on paper, but publicly, its owner made one thing clear above all else...
    • All that proves is he likes him as a person and has seen some good things out of him. He did not say he is our franchise QB and he did not say he will be making a decision. No doubt he likes him, wants him to work out but even after reading that, I still believe ultimately that decision will lie with Morgan, Tilis and Canales.
