Despite poor play at quarterback this season, the likely won't release due to the $60 million in dead cap that would occur this offseason, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network explained:
"They basically can't do it. It is almost impossible to move on from Carson Wentz," Rapoport said. "They have no choice."
Wentz signed a four-year, $128 million extension with the Eagles that could keep him under contract through the 2024 season. He has struggled mightily in 2020, however, throwing a league-high 15 interceptions while the team has gone just 3-7-1 in his starts.
His 231 passing yards per game would also be a career low for the 27-year-old.
