The news that Washington had traded for former Eagles and Colts quarterback Carson Wentz was met with a lot of hate by fans who had delusions of grandeur that the team may actually be putting together a lucrative offer to trade for Texans’ superstar Deshaun Watson.
In reality, Watson, who has a no-trade clause, was very unlikely to waive that to come to Washington, and I have to assume the team knew this when they pulled the trigger on Carson.
Fans may view this move as desperation - but let’s be honest, no top-tier veteran quarterback is going to voluntarily come to this team considering the dysfunction that continues to rot us at the core.
