INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts are trading quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders for a package of picks.
The Colts will receive the Commanders' third-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023. The 2023 third-rounder can become a second-round selection if Wentz plays 70% of Washington's snaps. The teams also swapped second-round picks in 2022, with the Colts moving up from No. 47 overall to No. 42.
Washington will pay the full $28 million due to Wentz for the 2022 season, which includes a $5 million roster bonus coming next week.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Wentz threw 27 touchdown passes and tied his career low in interceptions with seven last season. His long-term status with the Colts came into question late in the season, however, as he struggled in the team's final two games, when it had to win only one to make the playoffs.
