The Philadelphia Eagles have made changes to the coaching staff in order to appeal to quarterback Carson Wentz and supplement his improvement over time.
But if the Eagles wanted to trade Wentz, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes they would have ample opportunity to do so:
“Carson Wentz is very tradable ,” Rapoport said Thursday on the 94WIP Morning Show. “Whether they want to or whether they want to fix him and try to make good on their investment, that's a different story. Someone is going to look at Carson Wentz and say, up until the first half of the Washington game, this was a good quarterback. Something happened and it was all bad and he played terrible. But before then, basically up until half time, everything was fine and someone is going to say, ‘I can recapture that.'”
For all the scrutiny Wentz endured this past season, he has a decent track record of success.
Wentz was an MVP candidate in 2017 prior to a late-season injury. He threw for over 4,000 yards and led an injury-riddled Eagles team to the playoffs in 2019, despite a shortage at the skill positions.
Philly appears willing to lean on those past successes. The Eagles hired former Indianapolis Colts head coach Nick Sirianni as their new head coach. Sirianni is from the Frank Reich coaching tree, and Wentz's 2017 season came under Reich's tutelage. The Eagles also hired Florida offensive coordinator Brian Johnson as their new quarterbacks coach.
It would seem the Eagles will see how Wentz responds to wholesale changes to the coaching staff. However, Rapoport believes they could move him if they so choose.
