3 teams that could give Carson Wentz his third chance

The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly out on Carson Wentz, but three teams need a quarterback to give him another chance.

Carson Wentz went from MVP candidate to injured to out of favor in Philadelphia to Indianapolis to out of favor in Indianapolis in the blink of an eye.

His NFL journey has been as strange as they come for a quarterback with enough talent to be considered one of the best young passers in the league just a few years ago.

Now, reports suggest the Colts could trade or cut Wentz after his collapse at the end of the 2021 season buried their playoff hopes. If they push him out the door, where could he land next?

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers said their goodbyes to Ben Roethlisberger. Now they need to find someone to replace him.

The solutions to the quarterback question in Pittsburgh are numerous. They could trade for someone. They could pick up a free agent. They could draft a prospect.

It would be easier if the Steelers had a high draft pick but their first-rounder is No. 20 and this isn’t a very deep QB draft. If they draft, they’ll likely have to settle on a project who will need time to develop.

That’s where Wentz could come in. He won’t have a ton of opportunities to find a starting job, especially on a team with playoff aspirations. Pittsburgh can give him that while setting up their long-term future.
