In this episode of The PHLY Zone, we talk about the intriguing Carson Wentz quote from his presser, the Eagles’ free agency mindset, and we break down the top quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft. During his introductory press conference with the Indianapolis Colts, Carson Wentz stated, “Green Bay was probably the moment that I realized that this might not be it.”
There’s been a lot of conversation about player loyalty with their teams teams. Once this quote came out this week, a good deal of the Eagles fanbase wrestled with this quote. We question if it’s acceptable for Carson Wentz, a multi-million dollar quarterback, to mentally checkout on the team in any capacity.
So far, the biggest Eagles signing has been S Anthony Harris on a one-year deal. We give our thoughts on the Eagles’ approach to free agency so far.
