If I'm owner Jeffrey, I'm taking Wentz's 33M dead-cap hit out of Howie's salary

LOL, that's why I make the BIG bucks

So you think the eagles were trading Wentz even if Wentz didn't push for it? 34,000,000 is a lot of money

After the season he just had I think the Eagles saw that Carson is toast here. The Eagle's probably view this upcoming season as a wash and a good opportunity to shed some bad contracts (including Carson's) and get younger at some positions. Hopefully it will be used as a litmus test for Hurts then either rebuild or retool based on the results in 2022.

Wentz pushing for the trade only helped speed up the process IMO and they definitely had a deadline to get it done before he was due his roster bonus in March 20th or whatever date it is.

Both can be true.

The reason the trade was made was because the qb doesn't want to be on this dogshit team.

I mean the reason this trade was made is so that the eagles don’t have that cap hit in 2022. They are currently 71 mil under.

Although I do agree the contract was terrible given all we know now.
