Commanders Acquire Carson Wentz From Colts

Mar 10, 2022 4:51 PM

The Washington Commanders have agreed to acquire Carson Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts for third round picks in 2022 and 2023 and a second round round pick swap in 2022.

The 2023 third-rounder can become a second-round pick if Wentz plays 70% of Washington's snaps. 

Washington will pay the full $28 million due to Wentz for the 2022 season, which includes a $5 million roster bonus due next week.

The trade comes one week after Commanders general manager Martin Mayhew said the team had "canvassed the league effectively" to find a quarterback.

Commanders Calling Every Team That May Have Quarterback Available

Mar 3, 2022 8:42 AM

Ron Rivera says the Washington Commanders are leaving no stone unturned in their search for a new quarterback.

Martin Mayhew, the team's general manager, echoed that sentiment.

"We feel we have canvassed the league effectively," Mayhew said. "We've spoken to every club that has a quarterback who might be available."

Mayhew said the Commanders did the same thing a year ago.

"If you don't have a franchise quarterback, you have to have urgency about [finding one] every year," he said. "We were very urgent about it last year. I'm not sure that was a fair fight for Matthew [Stafford] last year, I'll leave it there. We did everything we could to find the right guy."
