One day after missing out on both Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, the Commanders swung a trade for Carson Wentz.
Washington, who was focused on improving their quarterback room for next season, gave up two third-round picks and swapped seconds with Indianapolis for a player set to join his third team in as many years. Fans may not be thrilled with the move, but after the two biggest prizes were off the board, Washington's options were limited around the league.
After canvassing the NFL in an attempt to acquire their next franchise quarterback, the Commanders narrowed their options down to Rodgers, Wilson, Wentz, Deshaun Watson, Jimmy Garoppolo and free agent Mitchell Trubisky according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
