The Minnesota Vikings secondary foe – the Chicago Bears – forewent implementation of the Carson Wentz trade. About two weeks ago, Chicago was the epicenter for Wentz trade rumors, and wacky theories loomed. Matthew Stafford recently commanded a king’s ransom via trade, and “so too will Wentz” was the unfounded theory that followed. The rational disconnect, though, was that Stafford performed pretty well in 2020 while Wentz was atrocious. Nevertheless, some football heads ran with the hypothesis that the new asking price for any starting quarterback was multiple 1st-Round draft picks.
If Wentz was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for more than one 1st-Round pick, well, the ground floor would shake and subsequently reset the trade market.
