Solving the Commanders’ salary cap issue created by the Carson Wentz trade

You will have heard by now; Commander Carson is the newest starting quarterback in a parade that dates back to Captain Kirk’s departure at the end of the 2017 season. Let’s hope Wentz’s tenure is more successful than those of Alex Smith, Colt McCoy, Mark Sanchez, Josh Johnson, Case Keenum, Dwayne Haskins, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Of that list, Smith is the only one to have enjoyed any success, and that came at the cost of a life-threatening and life-altering injury.

Are we still drafting a rookie QB?

The move to acquire Wentz effectively scraps the “draft a rookie, too” plan, in my opinion.
