Updating an earlier report, Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz’s four-year deal is worth $26 million with a $17.6 million signing bonus.
Footballguys View: It’s in stark contrast to the money fellow Eagles signal caller Sam Bradford got when he was selected first overall in 2010 which was the largest ever by a rookie. With the money much more reasonable (Bradford’s was a six-year, $78 million deal, which has $50 million of guarantee), the team can be cautious and take their time with Wentz. However, we know Bradford’s injury history and his overall attitude after the draft, so it’s not inconceivable that Wentz could take over this season. That makes this a shaky situation for fantasy and we’d tend to stay away from it.
