Carson Wentz's personality reportedly played a larger role in his abrupt departure from the Indianapolis Colts after one season than his play did.
Zak Keefer of The Athletic reported the Colts were frustrated with Wentz's "lack of leadership, resistance to hard coaching and reckless style of play." Some members of the organization "were finished" with him even before Indianapolis ended the regular season with consecutive losses and missed the playoffs.
The Colts agreed to trade Wentz to the Washington Commanders in exchange for two third-round draft picks (2022 and 2023), the latter of which can become a second-round selection if Wentz plays 70 percent of the offensive snaps next season.
