This is PISS POOR GM work at it's finest. This is why you hire a legit GM who knows the value of players. Wentz has ZERO value and you just gave them two high draft picks.
We have a legit GM in Martin Mayhew. We have a solid completely filled out front office for the first time in forever.

click on our org chart below ... weve never had that.

Im not stoked for Wentz either ... but its 2 3rds and we can get out after this year for 12M dead cap.

Aside from drafting Jamin Davis (who its too early to call definitively) .. Ive liked the moves weve made for the most part.

Sorry not buying it. Just like we were letting everyone know we wanted a QB, the Colts were letting everyone know what they thought of Wentz. He was getting cut. You just don't give up high draft picks for someone that is about to get cut.

If he becomes a free agent you can't guarantee he would come here, plus you have to offer him a new contract.

So what. Why are they so hell bent on getting him in the first place? Go get Mitch or Mariota. It's not like Wentz is any better than those guys. You'd land one and keep your draft picks.

I'd definitely argue Wentz is better than Trubisky and Mariota.

And if you went after those guys, you're competing against other teams with no guarantees you can sign one. Then what, you go into the draft with your hands tied having to trade up or pray someone you really like falls to 11? Sounds like a recipe to end up with Heinicke as your starter again.
