NFL Rumors: Eagles 'close' to trading Carson Wentz; are Patriots in mix?

The Detroit Lions met Matthew Stafford's trade demands last weekend. Could the Philadelphia Eagles soon follow?

The Eagles are "getting close" to trading quarterback Carson Wentz, The Philadelphia Inquirer's Les Bowen reported Friday.

Bowen sites the Colts as the top suitor for Wentz; Indianapolis' head coach is former Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich, and the Colts are expected to hire Press Taylor, Wentz's former QB coach in Philly, according to Bowen.

The Patriots also are in the market for a quarterback this offseason. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer noted Friday that New England is "checking in on everything" on the QB front, so it's possible Bill Belichick at least gave the Eagles a call about Wentz.
