I think a team like the Colts might trade for him after this year. Reich coaxed Wentz's best year out of him and they have a tonne of cap space. Why not take a shot at him?

I personally feel the best course would be to stay the course with Wentz this season and not throw Hurts into the fire when the team is such a mess as it is today then have him hopefully ready to push Wentz next offseason.

If you have a top-5 pick in what projects to be a very good QB class, you have to find out what you have already. Especially with the NFC East being so bad. Even another bad year from Wentz in 2021 could still yield an NFC East title, which would have them picking in the late teens in 2022. It's just not worth taking that risk.
