The quarterback market is heating up, with teams giving up draft picks for passers in the last two days. After the Broncos landed Russell Wilson from Seattle, the Washington Commanders – despite multiple red flags – struck a deal for Indianapolis Colts QB Carson Wentz.
ESPN’ Adam Schefter is reporting the terms of the trade and clearly, the Colts wanted to get rid of their quarterback. Yet, Washington was willing to part with third-round picks in 2022 and 2023, and will move down five spots in the second round, too.
Trade terms, per sources…
Colts get:
🏈2022 third-round pick
🏈2023 third-round pick that can become a second if Carson Wentz plays 70 percent of plays.
