Carson Wentz is sometimes referred to as a ‘Imagine if he could of…” story and a tale for aspiring NFL players, looking to make a huge dent after a high draft placing.
The former number 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, picked by the Eagles, was released from his contract at the Commanders back in February but could make a surprising comeback at the Chiefs.
The Kansas City team are said to be looking for a back-up QB and Weintz is willing to be a second-string player as he tries to work his way back into the spotlight.
The free agent will be keen to join the high-flying Eagles, who are fresh off an inspirational 38-35 Superbowl over the Eagles.
The Chiefs have been reported as having a ‘level of interest’ in Wentz.
The defending Superbowl champs are looking a little short on quality in their QB2 spot and Wentz could be the guy who will provide cover for Patrick Mahomes.
Sure, there is Blaine Gilbert but outside of that the cover is thin.
Wentz had stints at the Eagles (4 years) followed by back-to-back one-year contracts with the Colts and Commanders respectively.
He is a Superbowl champion, a Pro-Bowler (2017) and a North Dakota State legend.
With 22,129 passing yards at a completion of 62.6% he is no stranger to big games, and after his lay-off will have no problem playing behind Mahomes.
