Wentz counts for $60 million in cap space IF THEY CUT HIM, with a $40 million cap hit next year!

I hope no one wants him. Philly will be in cap hell.

Despite poor play at quarterback this season, the Philadelphia Eagles likely won't release Carson Wentz due to the $60 million in dead cap that would occur this offseason, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network explained:

Rapoport: 'Impossible' for Eagles to Cut Carson Wentz with $60M Cap Hit in 2021

"They basically can't do it. It is almost impossible to move on from Carson Wentz,"
Rapoport said. "They have no choice."

Wentz signed a four-year, $128 million extension with the Eagles that could keep him under contract through the 2024 season. He has struggled mightily in 2020, however, throwing a league-high 15 interceptions while the team has gone just 3-7-1 in his starts.

His 231 passing yards per game would also be a career low for the 27-year-old.

The money owed to Wentz likely plays a role, with the starter making $39.4 million in 2020 and $25.4 million in 2021, per Spotrac. The team would have $59.2 million in dead cap if he is released after the season, although the number drops to $24.5 million after the 2021 campaign.
