Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has always seen something special in the City of Brotherly Love. This was what Wentz told ESPN on June 10.

ā€œFrom the moment they traded up for me they saw something special in me, and that means a lot.

And at the same time, I saw something special in this place. I could see the chemistry, the culture, the makeup from the moment I came here on my visit before the draft even. I knew there was something different here, something special.ā€

Even after his first meeting with the Eagles days before the 2016 NFL Draft, he already saw himself living in Philadelphia for at least a decade, per the ESPN report.

Wentz's comments come in the aftermath of the four-year, $128 million contract extension he agreed to on June 6. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal includes $107.9 million in guaranteed money and $66 million due at signing.

Wentz struck a new deal with the Eagles two months after Seattle Seahawks gave quarterback Russell Wilson a four-year, $140 million contract extension in April. This includes $107 million in guaranteed money, per ESPN.

Regarding his new deal, Wentz told ESPN, ā€œIt's something both sides wanted to get done.ā€ He added he wanted Philadelphia ā€œto be home for a long time.ā€

That means good news for Eagles fans. Plus, Wentz isn't satisfied with a solitary Super Bowl title. The Eagles won Super Bowl LII with Nick Foles under center. Wentz didn't play because he was recovering from ACL surgery on his left knee.

ā€œI don't think this city, this culture could fit me any better, just with the passion (the fans) bring and how bad they want to win, and I'm wired the same way,ā€ Wentz told ESPN on Monday.
