Carson Wentz News
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, free-agent quarterback Carson Wentz doesn't intend on calling it quits anytime soon. The Commanders recently released the veteran signal-caller, saving the team just over $26 million against the salary cap. Wentz is coming off one of the worst years of his career, finishing the 2022-23 campaign with 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions (eight games). Another team will likely be interested in picking up the 26-year-old this offseason, especially since he's open to any role. However, his days as a productive quarterback are probably over, so he won't see much interest from fantasy managers.
The Washington Commanders released quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday, which saves the team $26.17 million against the 2023 salary cap. After another disappointing year for Wentz in D.C. in 2022, he will be on the open market this offseason. The 30-year-old signal-caller completed only 62.3 percent of his passes for a career-low 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions in eight games (seven starts) and was benched late in the year for Taylor Heinicke. Wentz also missed some time due to a finger injury in the middle of the season. Seven years into his career, Wentz could be headed for backup QB duties in 2023 for whichever team he signs with. In Washington, Heinicke and Sam Howell are set to compete for starting duties, but the Commanders could also bring in more QB competition via free agency, trade or the draft.
Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz might have taken his last snap with the team. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the Commanders' recent discussion about the quarterback position "reinforces the fact Washington and Wentz will probably part ways." During his lone season with the Commanders, Wentz played in just eight games due to a combination of injury and poor performance. He went 2-5 with a 62.3 percent completion rate, 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The Commanders would recoup a whopping $26.2 million in cap space by releasing Wentz, which seems like the most probable outcome at this point. Doing so would leave the team with Sam Howell as its starting quarterback but could also put them in the running to re-sign Taylor Heinicke.
