What the Jared Goff and Carson Wentz trades can tell us about the state of the NFL: Five takeaways

Just two summers ago, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz were the faces of their franchises, freshly anointed with two of the largest contract extensions in NFL history. The Rams and Eagles announced to the world, with their wallets, that Goff and Wentz were their guys. Franchise quarterbacks. Cornerstones of their respective futures.

But when the 2021 league year dawns on March 17, neither Goff nor Wentz will be members of the teams that gave them those deals. Goff will be traded to the Lions and Wentz to the Colts, each shuttled out of town before the first years of those extensions even kicked in.
