Philadelphia Eagles: A trade that sends Carson Wentz to Denver

The Philadelphia Eagles‘ fans and the media that cover them daily have been in a frenzy ever since it became public knowledge that their franchise quarterback, Carson Wentz, was trade bait. By now, we have all heard a multitude of rumors on the possibility of the former North Dakota State University Bison standout migrating elsewhere.

Last week, it seemed almost guaranteed that the Philadelphia Eagles would have a deal done with the Chicago Bears by now. There were even rumors that former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles might return to the team. Well, here we are, and days later, there’s no deal. Wentz is still a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Yes Philadelphia Eagles fans, there’s more.

Oh, don’t worry. We haven’t forgotten about the rumors of Philly sending their quarterback to the Indianapolis Colts. This one made a lot of sense as reports leaked that Wentz wanted to be reunited with former offensive coordinator Frank Reich. Again, here we are days later, and what seemed like another guarantee has turned into a cloud of smoke we are all left to sit in.

With the rollercoaster of rumors, we are all chugging along nice and slowly for the ride, so some of our ITI staff decided to tackle a theory involving another possible suitor, the Denver Broncos as that’s a rumor that seems to have picked up steam over the last couple of days.

Here’s a trade that helps both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Denver Broncos.

Okay, here we go. Here’s a deal that could work for both the Birds and Broncos. Is everyone ready? Let’s do this!

The Philadelphia Eagles send quarterback Carson Wentz to Colorado to be the franchise-altering player the Broncos has been searching for since John Elway (no disrespect to Peyton Manning). Philly also sends a 2021 fifth-round pick and a seventh-rounder in 2022. On the flip, the Broncos send their first-round pick (the ninth selection), a second-round pick (number 40), a fourth-round pick (number 114), and a wideout, DaeSean Hamilton, to sweeten the pot.

This is a win-win as the Broncos land their man in Carson Wentz, as well as a little draft capital to make up for the picks they had to send the Philadelphia Eagles. The Birds’ land some serious draft capital and a twenty-five-year-old wideout that has the talent and tools to be a game-changer, with a change of scenery. Thoughts? We’d love to hear them. The debate table is officially open.
