3. The Philadelphia Eagles don’t need anyone that doesn’t want to be here.
This may be the biggest part of the decision moving forward. Executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Doug Pederson have both come out and stated that Wentz is their guy and their number one priority, but the longer this goes on, it seems that a divorce may be unavoidable.
Now, as much as this may bother Eagles fans to hear, this Iggles team has to do something that they haven’t done in a long time, be honest with themselves. Could anyone really blame Wentz for wanting to get out of town? He played poorly this year, and there is no getting around that, but this team’s leadership is guilty of some of what facilitated his issues. There’s also been the trashing by the major media networks about his character.
A departure could help both Wentz and the Eagles in the long run. There’s a lot of what-ifs that will always float in the back of Philadelphia Eagles fan’s minds, but this organization’s inability to make wise decisions has been crippling. Philly’s offseason is certainly off to an interesting start, isn’t it?
