NFL Rumors: Patriots had 'no real interest' in Carson Wentz trade

Did a potential New England Patriots trade target go off the board Thursday? Doesn't sound like it.

The Patriots had "no real interest" in adding Carson Wentz, NFL Media's Mike Giardi reported after the Philadelphia Eagles reportedly dealt their quarterback to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday.

The Colts reportedly sent Philly a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 second-rounder that will become a first-rounder if Wentz plays at least 75% of Indy's snaps this season (or 70% if it makes the playoffs). That's a fairly steep price for a quarterback who threw 16 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions last season and got benched in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts.
