Yea good luck trading that contract, I guess they can take the same route the brock osweiler trade took and the Eagles can throw in like a 2nd rounderOperative word here is TRY.
That was still a stupid move by the Browns, taking the contract off HOU's hands.Yea good luck trading that contract, I guess they can take the same route the brock osweiler trade took and the Eagles can throw in like a 2nd rounder
Cutting Wentz at the start of the league year would cost the team $59 million in dead money against the salary cap and would actually cost the Eagles $25 million in additional cap space, making this an inconceivably bad option.
For reference, overthecap.com is projecting next year’s salary cap to be around $176 million, which is an 11 percent decrease from this year because of revenue loss due to the global pandemic. There’s no way the Eagles, who are projected to be around $70 million over the projected cap already, can afford to flat-out cut Wentz, so we can get that out of the way now.
Also important: Wentz has a $10 million roster bonus due on the third day of the league year, which should be March 20 if the rest of this season goes off without a hitch. The Eagles would incur a $74 million dead-money charge against the cap if they cut him after that bonus.
You do realize who they got with that 2018 2nd round Texans pick, right?That was still a stupid move by the Browns, taking the contract off HOU's hands.
Pretty good take on the impossibility of cutting him: Carson Wentz’s contract: How much would it cost the Eagles to cut bait with their franchise quarterback? | Early Birds (inquirer.com)
I am curious.I'd be shocked if they got value some kind of value back for a broken QB with a massive contract.
Can't trade him to next year,
It looks like the team would take on a 4yr @ $98.4mil. So on average 24.6 and after 2yrs at 47.4 if Wentz doesn't improve, they can cut him with out a cap hit.I am curious.
How much of that contract moves on to the new team?
You figure a lot of it would stay with the eagles (dont feel like looking it up) lol
Someone that still has some faith in him could pull the trigger for 24+ mil for a starter. but I still cant see how the eagles could afford to move him either way.It looks like the team would take on a 4yr @ $98.4mil.

A cut would cost Philly 59+mil for 2021 but off the books after that but in order to trade him they would have to move some money into signing bonuses. They'd still get hit with dead cap but cut in half from that 59+mil.Someone that still has some faith in him could pull the trigger for 24+ mil for a starter. but I still cant see how the eagles could afford to move him either way.
So minimum if they can find a trade partner is they eat $30 mil? And likely have to sweeten the pot for the other team, I would think. At this point, is Wentz even worth a 3rd rounder?A cut would cost Philly 59+mil for 2021 but off the books after that but in order to trade him they would have to move some money into signing bonuses. They'd still get hit with dead cap but cut in half from that 59+mil.
