The Philadelphia Eagles plan to keep Carson Wentz and want him to be a major part of their team.

The Eagles still believe in Wentz as a person and a player with the hope he can reclaim his prior form.

"None of this changes the belief that people have in Carson," one team source insisted to ESPN this weekend.

The Eagles replaced Wentz with Jalen Hurts this week and that move could hold for the rest of the season.

The Eagles must make a decision by the second day of the 2021 league year -- sometime in mid-March -- because on the third day of the league year, Wentz's $22 million base salary for 2022 becomes fully guaranteed and his 2021 roster bonus of $10 million also is paid out.

The Eagles could cut Wentz with a post-June 1 release and spread his cap charge over two years.

Philadelphia could also trade Wentz.
