Carson Wentz traded to Colts, what it means for a potential Sam Darnold trade

The already-sensational 2021 offseason continues with yet another trade of a quarterback.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade the struggling and unhappy quarterback Carson Wentz to Indianapolis.

In return, Philly snagged a 2021 third-round pick and 2022 conditional second-round pick. The second-rounder could turn into a first-rounder if Wentz plays at least 75% of the Colts offensive snaps next season or at least 70% of the snaps and Indianapolis makes the postseason.

Barring injury (or noteworthy on-field issues), Wentz is expected to spend that amount of time on the field with his new team, and given the talent in and around that organization, there’s a decent chance the Colts make it back to the postseason as well.
