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.

They have a lot of money into Wentz and used a 2nd round pick on Hurts. Thats a lot of capital already invested in one position on a roster that badly needs an infusion of talent on the offensive side of the ball. The only way I can see it feasible is if they can trade Wentz but the free agent market will have guys like Cam Newton, Winston, and Trubisky available and sad to say but at this stage I'm not sure Wentz is better than any of them. Reich taking a flyer on him is really the only hope the Eagles have as I don't see another team trading for that contract.
