Wentz joined the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016 as the second overall pick in that year’s NFL Draft. He won a Super Bowl with Philadelphia in 2017, though one where he was on injured reserve and his backup, Nick Foles, forged his legend by beating the New England Patriots.

It seems like a lifetime has occurred — at least in NFL terms — since Carson Wentz last played for the Eagles. A lot has happened since his trade request was granted and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman dealt his franchise quarterback to the Indianapolis Colts in 2021.

Wentz, who was the Eagles’ starting quarterback for five seasons, says his time in Philly "feels like five, six lifetimes ago."
