Plenty of teams in the NFL are looking for a franchise quarterback. In fact, this season is set to see an unprecedented carousel of quarterback changes in the league. And it looks like Wentz is set to be the next one on the list.

Wentz has suffered a long list of injuries while playing in the league. A torn ACL in 2017, a back fracture in 2018, and a concussion in the past have all proved to be season enders for the quarterback.

This season though, it was not injuries for Wentz which let him down. Rather it was his overall output itself. The quarterback struggled to get going and recorded 15 interceptions for 16 touchdowns.

The trade deal involving Wentz though will encounter one big hurdle. The quarterback’s new contract is set to come into effect from 2021 and it’s a whopping four-year $128 million contract extension.

So if whichever team wants to pick up Wentz, they’ll have to be ready to endure a massive cap space hit. Do you believe the quarterback deserves the sort of money he’ll be getting?
