Additionally, the Colts will receive two third-round picks (one is potential in 2023 if Wentz plays 70 percent of plays) and a second-round pick. The Commanders get Wentz and a second-round pick.
Wentz’s one-year stunt with the Colts resulted in a 9–8 record and a slightly missed chance of making the playoffs.
