The Indianapolis Colts still don't know whether Carson Wentz will be their long-term answer under center after his disappointing 2021 season.

"The word I got after the season was there was a 50-50 chance Wentz would be back," Zak Keefer of The Athletic reported. "And with a little over a month until the deadline, the Colts haven’t yet made their decision."

The March 18 "deadline" is when Wentz will earn a $5 million roster bonus for the 2022 season, per Spotrac. A release this offseason would leave the Colts with a $15 million dead cap hit, but there would be no cap penalty if he is moved after 2022.
