Report: Eagles want 'Matthew Stafford package' for Wentz

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for a trade package that rivals the assets received for Matthew Stafford in exchange for Carson Wentz, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Stafford recently fetched two future first-round picks, a third-round pick, and quarterback Jared Goff from the Los Angeles Rams.

The Eagles are expected to trade Wentz in the coming days, Schefter adds.

While Wentz hasn't formally submitted a trade request, his displeasure with the organization reportedly did not subside after Doug Pederson's firing. The Eagles were reportedly receiving calls about Wentz's availability, but they have no plans to trade him unless they receive a great offer. A future suitor will likely meet Philadelphia's asking price, Schefter notes.

The market for Wentz is likely to be limited due to the four-year, $128-million contract he signed with Philadelphia in 2019. The Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears have expressed interest in the quarterback, according to Schefter.

Wentz saw his play take a turn for the worse in 2020. The No. 2 pick in the 2016 draft completed just 57.4% of his passes and threw 16 touchdowns against a league-high 15 interceptions. He eventually lost the starter's role to Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles face a $34-million dead cap hit if they move Wentz before March 19, the third day of the 2021 league year. The 28-year-old is due a $10-million roster bonus on that date, which is also when $15 million of his base salary for 2022 becomes fully guaranteed, according to Spotrac.
