Philadelphia has agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first, league sources tell @mortreport and me.

Wentz is looking for a fresh start in Indy following a volatile past few years with Philadelphia. After going No. 2 in the 2016 NFL Draft, Wentz has had an up-and-down tenure with the team.
He helped build the Eagles into a Super Bowl contender, but missed the franchise's first Super Bowl victory after tearing his ACL in Week 14 of the 2017 season. Wentz has since battled several more injuries and fallen out of favor with the organization.
Wentz rejoins Reich in Indianapolis with the hopes of revitalizing his career with a strong offensive line and running back Jonathan Taylor in the backfield. The Eagles will roll with second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts, but look to be in rebuilding mode just four years after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Philadelphia is 50-1 long shots to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM.
