The big question in Indianapolis is when quarterback Carson Wentz will be able to get back on the field after suffering a foot injury and the answer may not be known for a while.

It sucks for Wentz just how short his leash is, at least when it comes to the fans.

It’s just going to lead to reaggrevation and then surgery in offseason.

They could have traded their #21 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, plus a 3rd and a 4th to the NYJ’s, and selected Mac Jones at #14 ahead of New England.

It would have been cheaper than what they are paying for Wentz, even if Wentz doesn’t hit the accelerators on the 2022 conditional pick (either a 2nd or a 1st) they have to pay on top of the 2021 3rd rounder.

Plus they added all that money to their salary cap to pay Wentz because of the deal he signed in Philly.

Jones would come on a rookie deal with a 5th year option.

A 3rd and 4th rounder would have been dirt cheap to get a first round QB and the commensurate rookie salary cap friendly deal.

Just get the surgery, kid.

Even this decision sounds how a “hero ball” guy like Wentz would elect to deal with an injury?

Never mind with that 1st round pick they selected the best DE in the draft, which was one of their two biggest needs.

He’s just pinin’ for the fjords.

In fact I live just off of Lake Michigan in northwest Indiana!
