Wentz had an uninspiring year, throwing for 1,755 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions, finishing 30th (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/stats\/_\/id\/2573079\/carson-wentz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">32.9<\/a>) in the NFL in QBR. Unsurprisingly, the Commanders cut bait on Wentz, releasing him on Feb. 27.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Usually, when a quarterback struggles, many suggest a change of scenery as the remedy. However, Wentz has had two opportunities at fresh starts, squandering both. Perhaps expectations are to blame, and maybe a backup job is what Wentz needs to get right. Regardless, an NFL team will give Wentz another shot, and it will likely be his last.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\t(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\t\t\tvar js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\t\t\tif (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\t\t\tjs = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t\t\t\tjs.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5&appId=125075807517358\";\n\t\t\t\tfjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t\t\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nfl\/articles\/carson_wentz_wants_to_keep_playing_open_to_various_roles\/s1_13132_38540367\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite his quick and steep fall from grace, Carson Wentz isn&#8217;t ready to call it quits yet. \u00a0 According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Wentz is determined to continue his career and is open to &#8220;various roles&#8221; to prove his worth to a team.\u00a0 Wentz is seemingly hinting that he&#8217;d be content competing for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6806],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17291","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gossip"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sports.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
