The Commanders released quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday after just one season with the team.
The move doesn’t come as a complete surprise, as the Commanders were expected to “part ways” with Wentz.
Wentz was acquired from the Colts prior to last season, and he was expected to be the Commanders’ starter. However, Wentz finished the year with just seven starts in eight games, partially due to a fractured finger he suffered in Week 6. He didn’t return until Week 16.
