The New England Patriots’ quarterback situation is still unresolved for next season, but according to the NFL Network’s Mike Giardi, they never had interest in former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
Not that this comes as a surprise, but the #Patriots had no real interest in acquiring Carson Wentz, per source.

On Thursday, Wentz was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for two draft picks, including the Colts’ 2021 third-round selection. The second pick — which conveys in 2022– has an interesting protection, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen: If Wentz plays at least 75 percent of the Colts’ offensive snaps, the pick will become a first-rounder instead of a second-rounder.
