Seeing that we’re going on three consecutive days of Carson Wentz-Bears rumors, I’m just about ready to take this to the next level. Or at minimum, I’d like for you to meet my friends while on a video chat. No pressure. (That’s a quarantine dating joke).
• A quick roundup as to how we got here in the first place. In January, the first reports surfaced that Wentz would seek an offseason trade – a request that came after a woeful season under center concluding with word of a fractured relationship between himself and Doug Pederson. But even after the Eagles split with their head coach, Wentz’s future was still up-in-the-air. A month later, rumors broke that the Eagles were taking calls from teams inquiring about Wentz’s availability. We were curious about the Bears being a fit. A day later, there was significant buzz that made it look like a Wentz trade was on the horizon. Much of that speculation connected the Bears and Colts as possibilities. And yet, Colts GM Chris Ballard proclaimed no trade was happening on Friday. It didn’t. Bullseye, Mr. Ballard. But clearly, there was enough smoke to push Indy’s GM to make such a statement. All caught up? Cool.
