The have a quarterback controversy. Unlike debate that arose amid ' improbable playoff runs filling in for back in 2017-2018, this one is completely of the Eagles' own doing. Rather than use one of their top 2020 draft picks on immediate help for Wentz, who ended 2019 with four straight regular-season wins and a playoff berth, Philadelphia added a premiere insurance policy at QB in . Little did they know that Wentz, saddled with an older and unreliable supporting cast, as well as incoherent coaching strategy, would buckle under all the pre sure and basically force the Eagles to ahead of the most critical quarter of the season.But that's where we are in Philadelphia. It's fitting, because of how dysfunctional Eagles' leadership had to be to get to this point, that there are no easy answers, either. No matter how Philly finishes 2020 -- at the bottom of the ugly Washington Commanders Men Jersey NFC East, with another Lombardi Trophy in hand -- the QB situation is bound to get me sier before it gets resolved.All anyone cares about right now is seeing what Hurts can do in his first significant action. The guy is a breath of fresh air, for crying out loud, after 12 straight weeks of lifele s offensive football from a team operating with a fifth-year QB and head coach pairing. But it's hard not to cast one eye toward 2021, when the Eagles will be forced to reckon with some major, organization-shaking decisions regarding Wentz's standing as the "face of the franchise."It was just 18 months ago the Eagles rewarded Wentz for his early-career promise with a four-year, $128 million extension -- a deal that doesn't even kick in until 2021. But now that Hurts has seen the field -- not as a gimmick but as QB -- and "Pandora's box has been opened," , the Eagles have guaranteed themselves perhaps an even bigger fork in the road than when Foles hoisted the Lombardi with a rehabbing Wentz looking on. Had the team not paid Wentz like a franchise QB, this conversation might be a lot simpler. (An apt comparison Deshazor Everett Jersey might be in Los Angeles, where the ' commitment to all but prevents them from cutting ties even if they desperately wanted to.) Still, there are far more dynamics at play in Philly: When's the last time you saw a QB follow Wentz's roller coaster of a trajectory? We're talking MVP flashes and solid play otherwise -- even after back-to-back serious injuries that allowed Foles to become an emergency folk hero -- to the point that Wentz's $128M deal, upon signing, seemed like a for the Birds.Now, after Wentz's 12 mostly bad, occasionally awful starts in 2020, that contract will almost certainly be one of the primary reasons the Eagles retain Wentz beyond this year, if they do. Here's a look, , at how Philly would be affected financially if it wanted to trade or outright release No. 11 before the 2021 season:ScenarioDead MoneyNet ResultCut before March 20, 2021$59MLose $24.5MCut Russ Grimm Jersey between March 20-June 1, 2021$74MLose $39.5MCut after June 1, 2021$34.6MGain $0Traded before March 20, 2021$33.8MSave $850KTraded after March 20, 2021$43.8MLose $9.1MTraded in 2022$24.5MSave $6.7MThe Eagles are already projected to be well over the reduced 2021 salary cap, so even a career miracle from general manager Howie Roseman would not be enough to justify releasing Wentz as anything other than a post-June 1 cut. And at that point, rather than eating a nearly $35M dead-money charge in 2021, the Eagles might as well just keep Wentz -- hefty salary and all -- regardle s of his standing on the depth chart. The only path to 2021 savings, then, is a trade prior to March 20, the third day of the new league year. Even those savings ($850K) are extremely minimal, but that represents the one conceivable scenario for a 2021 Wentz departure."There aren't good options," says Joel Corry, a CBS Sports contributor and former agent and cap expert. "The Eagles are likely stuck with Wentz for 2021." If they were, in fact, dead set on trying to trade him, however, striking a deal before March 20 would result in "basically a wash between Wentz's cap number and dead money." Again: The savings would be almost nothing, at least in 2021. The benefits would be a.) getting something (draft compensation, etc.) in return for Wentz, and b.) clearing tens of millions in future seasons.Remember, though, this is complicated. One look at the contract, and you might think, . But both sides of the argument (keep and restore Wentz, or cut the cord entirely) have merit because of how dysfunctional the Eagles have been this year:The case for keeping Wentz: The majority of his resume is good, if not great. From 2017-2019, Wentz threw 81 touchdowns to 21 interceptions with a 98.3 QB rating and 25-15 record. You don't do that by accident. He's never recaptured his MVP-like magic of the year, but before 2020, he bore so many physical and structural hurdles in stride. He's still young-ish (28 at the end of December). And even if you love the upside of alternatives, you'd be trying to sell him on the trade market -- with very little savings -- after a historical drop-off in production, which has surely dented his value. Giving him an offseason to catch his breath, earn back trust and potentially work with a revamped staff and lineup would offer lots of upside in a prospective QB competition.The case for selling Kyle Allen Jersey Wentz: This is Year Five for Wentz, along with coach Doug Pederson. You're telling us a fifth-year, $128M QB can't rise above his surroundings for even , maybe two, weeks? Accelerated by the organization's mi steps or not, Wentz has looked broken and devoid of confidence for almost a full season, with hints of slippage in 2019 prior to his strong finish. On top of that, he already had injury concerns, finishing three straight years on the sidelines. Is it even in best interest to make him win back locker room in Philly? Perhaps most importantly, the Eagles' ineptitude has enabled them a chance at a very high pick in a 2021 draft that should have a handful of top QBs in reach. That's rare, and capitalizing on it would confirm Washington Commanders Jersey a total restart.Now that Hurts has also been handed at least one start (and, likely, the rest of the season), it's going to be hard to put the genie back in the bottle. Asked this week what Philly will do after the season, one NFL source told CBS Sports it's more likely than not the Eagles will try to trade Wentz. The source, who is familiar with Eagles management, added that it's "po sible but not likely" the team will view Wentz as salvageable, and that Wentz's "lack of consistency and injury history make him expendable."Former Eagle , who counts both Wentz and Foles as close friends after their 2017 title run together, probably hit the nail on the head when he this week that Wentz and Pederson are no longer married now that Hurts has taken over. In Long's mind, the final four games of 2020 will likely allow higher-ups (e.g. owner Jeffrey Lurie, or perhaps even general manager Howie Roseman) to determ
