Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay apparently gave the cold shoulder to Carson Wentz following the end of the 2021 season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday the Colts are trading Wentz to the Washington Commanders. Zak Keefer of The Athletic provided more insight as to why Indianapolis was cutting bait only one year after acquiring Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to Keefer, Wentz attempted to meet with Irsay to "clear the air" regarding his future with the team. Irsay declined to meet with the veteran quarterback.
Wentz appears to have lost Colts head coach Frank Reich as well.
