The Philadelphia Eagles have made it clear that they are committed to Carson Wentz as their long-term quarterback, but that does not mean the Eagles are prepared to give him a contract extension.

According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, it is “unlikely” that Philadelphia comes to terms with Wentz on a new deal in spite of the fact that he is now eligible for one.

It makes plenty of sense, as the Eagles would like to see how Wentz recovers from a stress fracture in his back that knocked him out late in the season, and Wentz's value is probably not as high as it could be right now, anyway.

McLane added that Wentz is expected to be healthy by the start of workouts next month.

Wentz played in 11 games this past season, throwing for 3,074 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while completing 69.6 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 102.2.

The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at North Dakota State, was originally selected by Philadelphia with the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.

He started all 16 games during his rookie campaign, throwing for 3,782 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 picks, completing 62.4 percent of his passes and recording a passer rating of 79.3.

Then, in 2017, Wentz tallied 3,296 yards, 33 touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 13 games and appeared to be an MVP candidate before tearing his ACL, opening the door for Nick Foles to step in and lead the Birds to their first-ever Super Bowl title.

Due to Wentz's injury history, there was some deliberation among fans and media pundits as to whether or not the Eagles should commit to him over Foles moving forward, but it seemed like a pretty easy decision for Philly.
