Step one of keeping Carson Wentz on the Philadelphia Eagles for long-term is complete. As expected the Eagles’ front office has picked up the former second-overall pick’s fifth-year option. Eagles’ General Manager and Vice President of Football Operations Howie Roseman has made it quite clear that Wentz is going to be in Philly for a while, but they eventually have to agree to a long-term contract to make it official. As of right now though, a deal is not in place.
This week, the Eagles were on a deadline to pick up the option.
