Footnote to the Wentz deal, but Derek Carr may be less available than some have speculated. 

 

Yeah, word has been that the Raiders have moved away from dealing Carr but are open to trading Mariota. Theres been speculation that the Patriots might look into that deal.

Judy Batista also mentioned that this trade likely lowers the asking price for other quarterbacks like Sam Darnold.

QB is the most important position on the field and you better believe the Eagles are going to be doing their due diligence. Wentz wasn’t the answer. Hurts may not be either. If they think there’s a better option then they may take a QB. It would be ridiculous to think that a new coach has some type of undying loyalty to Hurts just because he was drafted last year. The only thing for certain in this draft is this draft is going to be crazy.

I believe Hurts will be their qb next year and there after. I guess, we will see....

I'd agree, but apparently there's now word that their starting QB choice is gonna be determined by competition.

Quoting Adam Schefter in the article PFT cites as a source...

...while the Eagles are likely to turn to Jalen Hurts, though they also intend to bring in competition for him. The Eagles' starting job is not expected to automatically go to Hurts.

Gotta figure that at least potentially includes them drafting someone.

I’d think it would be a free agent. Rookie isn’t gonna push hurts as much as a short term free agent. It’s a low risk move by Philly. If hurts turns out to be good (I believe he will be) then they would have wasted a pick on a qb. I expect them sign a FA qb wholeheartedly.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably. That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.

      Thielen traded

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.

      If he helps them win a super bowl the individual award is irrelevant.
