Report: Wentz Traded to Colts

[The Big Grabowski]

So basically his value was conditionally 2 thirds (3rd this year, 2nd next year which could turn into a first). Reasonable deal for the Colts.

I mean losing out on Wentz, means you can still have Watson... XDD

Pace will now trade a 1st & 2nd rounder for Jacoby Brissett.

All part of his plan.

 

[The Big Grabowski]

Anyone else starting to think Pace/Nagy seats aren’t that hot and they’ll be allowed to buy time with a young QB in the draft?

Fans won't be happy, but it's the more responsible approach given our cap situation. I've been thinking they'll add a veteran to the room to go along with Foles and an early pick. The question is will they trade up in the first.

Report: Carson Wentz Will Not Be a Chicago Bear

According to Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, the Bears' pursuit of Carson Wentz has come to an end. The Eagles quarterback, and former #2 overall draft pick, will be sent to the Indianapolis Colt

Actually this does make me wonder what this means for the Watson trade. Eagles wanted a Stafford deal, but settled for a 3rd and conditional 1st/2nd. Does this mean if Watson holds firm (like Wentz) could that price drop?

No one will see it coming considering Brissett is a FA.

I think there seats are still hot. They have to play the QB situation smart, because if they do hit on one it will save their jobs.

I'm happy it's over, but obviously not happy with the return for my Eagles. Quick thoughts:

- I think the Bears had a better offer discussed, but Wentz wanted to go to the Colts.
- GM Roseman tried to create leverage, but ultimately all sides knew this was the only deal to be done.
- I'm mad at Wentz who first forced the team to trade him then picked a destination, but can't deny the Colts are getting a hell of a QB for a very reasonable cost.

I really doubt the Bears had a better offer or an offer at all.

Winston or Darnold. Fans won't like who starts for Chicago this year.

Bears will end up with Nick Foles starting again. I think I’m going to be sick

I agree...Colts will be in the playoffs and we will be home counting CB's with potential wondering why we didn't draft a QB or LT in 2021 1st round probably?! Dealing with cap issues and firing everybody to start over.

A mid to late first and a third and only if things go well? If not you get half your money back?

We passed on a franchise QB for a 1st and third when you get half your money back if it fails!! See me in two years and tell me he wasn't worth 2 1st's and a third.

That is a lot of money for Indy to take on for mediocre production and history of injuries.

Alright Pace, time to nut up and go out there and get Carr. You have a baseline now on what to offer the Raiders.

So why are the Raidrs trading Carr again? I don't think this is happening.

Exactly! Pace will fleece himself and wonder wtf just happened.

Is he even real anymore? Seems more like a bot these days.

In fairness..the Colts aren't the Bears..2 different teams

I think we're entering a new era where players realize they have more control over things than previously thought.
