Sunday game thread.

Cutting Wentz's conventionally next year is impossible. The Eagles would have $59,220,611 in dead money, a cap charge for a player no longer on the roster, by releasing Wentz before $15 million of his injury guaranteed $22 million 2022 base salary becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2021 league year (March 19).


A Wentz trade would provide the Eagles minimal cap relief because Wentz would need to be dealt before his $10 million roster bonus is due next March 19. After this date, the $10 million would be a Philadelphia financial expenditure and cap charge with a trade. Philadelphia's cap charge or dead money would consist of the $33,820,611 of bonus proration left in Wentz's contract.

There probably wouldn't be many suitors because of Wentz's regression and the acquiring team would need $25.4 million of cap room to absorb his 2021 salary, which would no longer be a Philadelphia obligation. If next year's salary cap is at or near the $175 million floor, only a limited number of teams will have the necessary cap space anyway.

Agent's Take: Are Carson Wentz's Eagles days numbered? A closer examination of his contract tells the story

Philadelphia has found themselves in quite the conundrum at the QB position

Based on the above the only team that could afford him would be New England with their projected $100 million in cap space.

What a disaster for Philadelphia.

So what you're saying is that there is a 100% chance Wentz goes to New England and wins the division for the next 15 years?

Oh no, not at all, I’m by far from an expert on the subject.

It’s cap crushing to the Eagles to move on from Wentz any way they go.

The links I supplied also state that they have 260 million in cap commitments next year for a 175 million cap so Wentz isn’t there only problem. They are in cap hell no matter what they do and “IF” the Eagles decide to just “rip off the bandaid” as others have mentioned then cutting him eats up 35% of their 2021 cap for someone who won’t even be on the team.

Cutting him is a disaster, trading him is not as bad but as you mention it’s likely they would have to give up picks for someone to take him and there are only 3 or 4 teams that could take on that contract which includes the Jaguars, Patriots.

I don’t see the Jags doing it but it would be a very Patriots move.
 
Looks like Carolina is going to hold on for this monster win, for us.

Maybe we reward Curtis Samuel with a nice contract in the offseason for his 102 receiving yards and 56 rushing yards.
 
The way Hurts has played this game they may need to consider Wentz as their future still

If Wentz is not their starter for the future and they want to go Hurts, he will be gone, guaranteed. There is absolutely no way you can have that contract as a backup regardless of cap ramifications. Furthermore, Wentz will simply make them move him by his actions# and he won't even need to be a jerk to make the whole thing uncomfortable. He has the Eagles by the stones as they owe him the guarantees. He is not going to accept being an indefinite backup, he has already said so, and I don't blame him.

Wentz is going to compete with Hurts next year.

A decision will be made after 2021.
 
Tanne has always struggled in cold conditions.
 
Funny these game conditions reminds me of Tanne first season, I was never a fan, but we went to Pitt in a snow storm and Tanne and the team played out of their skin and we won.
