“#Carson Wentz wants out if he’s not Eagles’ starting QB<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Carson Wentz is prepared to leave the Philadelphia Eagles if he isn\u2019t their starting quarterback. <\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday<\/a>, citing sources, that the spurned signal-caller isn\u2019t happ<\/a>y with \u201cthe way events have unfolded in the organization\u201d and wants out if he\u2019s going to be a backup.<\/p>\n

Wentz, 27, was benched in-game<\/a> for 2020 second-rounder Jalen Hurts in Week 13 against the Packers amid his worst season since entering the NFL. Through 12 starts this year, he has completed a career-worst 57.4 percent of his passes for 2,620 yards, 16 touchdowns and an NFL-high 15 interceptions.<\/p>\n

This report comes a week after sources told ESPN that the organization still has \u201cbelief\u201d in Wentz. However, that sentiment may have shifted after the Eagles\u2019 improbable, 24-21 win in Week 14 against the Saints (10-3), during which Hurts looked like a palpable improvement over Wentz. The rookie completed 17 of 30 attempts for one touchdown, zero interceptions and rushed 18 times for 106 yards while quelling the team\u2019s four-game losing streak. <\/p>\n

Wentz will back up Hurts for the second week in a row as the Eagles (4-8-1) take on the Cardinals (7-6) on Sunday. Head coach Doug Pederson has yet to commit to making Hurts the full-time starter, though the move seems inevitable at this point if he continues to play at this level. <\/p>\n

\u201cPlayer and team sources told ESPN\u2019s Chris Mortensen last weekend that Hurts will remain the starter this season,\u201d Schefter added. <\/p>\n

Any option to move on from Wentz would be costly for the Eagles, who recently extended him for $128 million through 2024. The former No. 2 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft carries an enormous $34.7 million cap hit ($59.2 million dead cap) in 2021, which drops to $31.3 million ($24.6 million dead cap) in 2022 and $36.3 million ($15.3 million dead cap) in 2023\u00a0according to Spotrac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His 2022 base salary of $22 million becomes fully guaranteed three days after the new league year begins in March; his $10 million 2021 roster bonus is also paid out at the same time. The Eagles may opt to designate him as a post-June 1 release, in which case they would owe Wentz his 2021 salary, but could spread out his $59.2 million dead cap hit over two years.<\/p>\n

If they choose to put him on the trading block, the Eagles would only incur a $33.8 million cap hit that would count against their 2021 cap in full. This would require another team to agree to pay the struggling North Dakota State product\u2019s $25.4 million salary plus a $10 million roster bonus in 2021, which would likely require some incentive from the Philadelphia. <\/p>\n

The Eagles currently sit in third place in a soft NFC East behind the Washington Football Team (6-7) and the Giants (5-8).\n <\/p><\/div>\n
