If we go back to one pivotal moment, one nexus from which everything was made possible, it comes from an unlikely source: Trading Carson Wentz. Pushing this domino had an incredib

Months after the Wentz deal, Philadelphia sent their first-round pick (No. 12) and the third-rounder from Indianapolis to the Dallas Cowboys to move up two spots to No. 10, where they drafted wide receiver DeVonta Smith.

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.

The Philadelphia Eagles rebuilt a Super Bowl team on the fly after trading Carson Wentz back in 2021 to the Indianapolis Colts.

Once a franchise pillar for the Eagles, the quarterback will be on the opposite sideline Sunday as the Chiefs’ backup.

Carson Wentz has a chance to win a Super Bowl with the Chiefs on Sunday, but he also helped the Eagles to get to this point.

Carson Wentz’s past and present are about to collide, but it’s the predictions for his future that might be most tantalizing.

As Wentz talked to the media before that Super Bowl, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made it clear that Wentz was the future of his team despite Foles' playoff run. Wentz was a 24-year-old star. In June of 2019, he signed a four-year, $128 million deal.

Carson Wentz once again will mostly be a spectator on the sidelines for a Super Bowl appearance by the Philadelphia Eagles.

After winning Super Bowl LII, albeit injured on the bench, quarterback Carson Wentz was supposed to return to his starting position and lead a potential Philadelphia Eagles dynasty.
