Carson Wentz trade rumors: Colts won't budge on offer for Eagles quarterback, per report - CBS Sports

The Philadelphia Eagles are still trying to get the best return on a deal for Carson Wentz, even though the offers the franchise has received have been far below their expectation.

The Eagles reportedly want at least a first-round pick for Wentz

The Colts are a better fit for Wentz, due to having a head coach he trusts in Frank Reich (who was the Eagles offensive coordinator in 2016 and 2017) -- and they run a similar style of offense as what Wentz ran when he developed into one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL over his first two seasons

The Eagles could potentially get the Colts to increase their offer by throwing Zach Ertz and his contract in the deal, a familiar face for Wentz and a starting tight end the franchise needs for their offense. 

Philadelphia's cap charge or dead money would consist of the $33,820,611 of bonus proration left in Wentz's contract, hence why the Eagles would want to deal Wentz before that date. 

The Eagles may just have to take the best offer available, instead of trying to create a market where few suitors already exist
