Carson Wentz says farewell to Philadelphia Eagles after 'amazing journey'

Calling his five years with the team "an amazing journey," quarterback Carson Wentz bid farewell to the Eagles, his former teammates and the city of Philadelphia on Friday.

Wentz published a lengthy post on his Instagram account one day after league sources told ESPN he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2021 third-round draft pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first-rounder.

He wrote in part: "As one chapter closes, another one begins."

In Indianapolis, Wentz will be reunited with Colts head coach Frank Reich, his former offensive coordinator in Philadelphia, and help fill the void left by Philip Rivers' retirement.
