Comp update: Washington also is receiving a 2022 7th-round pick from Indianapolis as the last part of the Carson Wentz trade that is sending him from the Colts to the Commanders, per source.
Wash gets: Wentz, a 2nd and a 7th.
Colts get: a 2nd, a 3rd and a conditional 3rd.

The flexibility of the Wentz trade is quite appealing.
WSH holds his rights until ’24, and he averages a 27M cap hit over those 3 yrs. Not bad relative to peers.
Can be released after 1, no financial obligation.
Freedom to keep LT if successful.
Or + a QB this year if desired pic.twitter.com/nKzAucJJ5o— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) March 11, 2022
Some fair questions for The Commanders giving up so many picks along with picking up Carson Wentz’s salary. Two things:
*This is low risk, high reward for a starter. It’s an upgrade at the position in Washington
*I was told there were other teams interested in trading for Wentz— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) March 10, 2022

Things that are good about Carson Wentz:
-Is alive
-Kind of looks like Megan Markles husband
-deserves some credit for Jonathan Taylors great season on account of his expert hand offs
-Almost won MVP 4 years ago. Could happen again?
-Fucking hates ducks
-Is not Kirk Cousins— PFT number 1 carson wentz superfan (@PFTCommenter) March 9, 2022
At least they have a tall guy that can pick up a yard or two on QB sneaks now… pic.twitter.com/pz53OTJaZj

Washington has the 11th pick and traded for a QB. Speaks volumes about this QB class coming out.

The 5 Stages of the Wentz Trade
denial – “This can’t be happening!”
anger – “Why didn’t we wait for him to be released?”
bargaining – “His TD/INT ratio is pretty solid!”
depression – “This is just like the Alex Smith trade”
acceptance – “Hell it could be worse” pic.twitter.com/pwZRwou4Ym

Good prices to pay for a QB:
$40 mil – you’ve got the guy
$5 mil – it’s a rookie, let’s hope he’s somethingBad prices to pay:
$25 mil – did something once, maybe it’ll do it again— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) March 10, 2022
See people calling this a “Dan Snyder move.” You’ll have to help me out, since I don’t see any of those fingerprints anywhere.
Wentz ain’t lighting up the Fanatics sales board or moving season tickets. MNF isn’t calling.
This is Ron’s team. He makes these calls.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) March 10, 2022
My reaction to Wentz being traded is simple.
He has this season to save his career as an NFL starter.
— Dan Orlovsky (@danorlovsky7) March 9, 2022
Incredible that the Colts traded Wentz before the Eagles even used the 1st-round pick they got from the Colts for Wentz.

For real tho the Raiders just gotta shut it down for a while and trade Carr for a bunch of picks while the rest of these assholes in the division fight it out.
Don’t try to drive through this storm. Just wait.
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) March 10, 2022
RFAs that are not tendered are not eligible to become compensatory free agents.
As such, Troy Reeder could be an attractive option for teams looking for LB depth that also want to avoid cancelling out comp picks they may earn in the coming days and weeks. https://t.co/ys7WT4JpOl
