INDIANAPOLIS – The brief Carson Wentz era has come to an end for the Indianapolis Colts.
The 29-year-old reportedly will be shipped to the Washington Commanders when the new NFL year begins March 16. The reported deal will send a third-round pick in next month’s draft to the Colts as well as a 2023 third-rounder that can become a second-round pick if Wentz plays 70% of the Commanders’ snaps next season.
The teams also will swap picks in the second round this year, with Indianapolis’ first selection moving up from No. 47 to No. 43 overall.
News of the deal came just a little more than a year after the Colts sent a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional selection that became a first-rounder this year to the Philadelphia Eagles for Wentz.
