Eagles Now Guaranteed To Receive First Round Pick From Colts

Dec 19, 2021 8:38 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles are now guaranteed to receive a first round pick from the Indianapolis Colts after Carson Wentz hit a playing time benchmark on Saturday. 

Wentz has now played 906 of the Colts’ 928 snaps this season, or 97.6 percent. Even if something unforeseen were to happen and Wentz missed the final three games of the season, Wentz would finish with around 80 percent of the Colts’ total offensive snaps on the year.

The Eagles now own three first round picks in 2022.

Carson Wentz's Snap Count Almost Guarantees Eagles A First-Round Pick

Dec 6, 2021 8:44 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles are nearly guaranteed to receive the Indianapolis Colts' first-round pick in 2022.

The trade that sent Carson Wentz to the Colts gave the Eagles a first-round pick if Wentz plays at least 75 percent of offensive snaps this season. Through Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans, Wentz has played 853 of the team's 875 snaps this season, or 97.5 percent.

The Colts' offense is on pace to play 1,144 snaps this season, which would mean Wentz needs to play 858 snaps on the season to reach 75 percent.

The Eagles also own their own first-round pick and the Miami Dolphins' first-round pick next year.
