Curious about the money and hope we extend Goff soon.

Talking heads likely storylines - eagles believe in wentz, rams unsure about Goff.

Net because of his injury history that while the numbers will look huge, they will have tons of bonuses and milestones to meet

Carson and Jared have the same agent. Just FYI.

That's a lot of money for the oft injured QB.

Pretty good payday.

Just heard it on local radio with no details. It's been talked about here that they wanted to get it done.

Risky with injury history but, probably got a really good team/money deal. Wentz is set for life plus. Hard to guess but him and Goff are due close to the same money this year and next year. He is something. 32 Million 107M guaranteed...wow.

Wentz on the books for 6 more years at $27m per year.

That's a bargain in today's market.

Reading that it's $32M AAV. Which is not a bargain for a guy you aren't sure can stay healthy.

Goff is positioned to crush it. So like I asked in the other thread: is he going to be all about every dollar he can get? Will he be willing to go longer and get more guaranteed cash with a cap savings on the AAV side?

The Philadelphia Eagles have locked up their franchise quarterback.

Carson Wentz and the Eagles agreed to a four-year extension through 2024, the team announced Thursday. Wentz's deal is worth $128 million, with over $100 million in guarantees, a source told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

While Wentz's average annual value (AAV) on the new four-year deal ($32M) doesn't eclipse that of Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson ($35M), the Eagles signal-caller may well surpass him and all NFL players in guaranteed money.

Wentz is the first QB of the 2016 draft class to sign an extension; the Los Angeles Rams' Jared Goff(No. 1) and the Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott (No. 135) are also waiting on new deals.

The Eagles quarterback had two years remaining on his rookie deal after Philly picked up his fifth-year option on Apr. 29. Now, Wentz is the first NFL QB signed through the 2024 season.

An MVP candidate in 2017 before his season-ending knee injury, the 26-year-old Wentz is one of just four QBs to have a 100-plus passer rating in each of the last two seasons. The Eagles QB ranked in the top 10 in completion percentage (69.6), passing YPG (279.5) and passer rating (102.2) in 2018.

Philly's offseason extension of Wentz ensures the QB's status as the Eagles' franchise quarterback. Though as recently as January, Wentz's status with the franchise was much more precarious.

The QB was sitting out his second consecutive postseason, this time with a back injury, watching his backup and Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles lead Philly back into the Divisional Round. Some Eaglesfans were even arguing into February whether Foles was actually the future of the franchise given Wentz's injury history and Foles' postseason play.

But when the Eagles let Foles walk into free agency and into a four-year deal with Jacksonville, they made a statement that was confirmed Thursday evening: Wentz was their quarterback of the present and future.

They have him locked up for 6 years for $154m. That's $27m per year.

It's the same thing we did with the AD deal. You add in what he's already signed for/getting and it makes the extension look friendlier for the team.

 

[Liberator]

27M per year isn't really that bad for a franchise QB. Just remains to be seen if he can stay healthy and play in a playoff game over that contract.

They already had him for 2 years for a total of $26 million. That stays the same, apparently. Then the 4 year extension kicks in for $32 million per year. Given his injuries, who knows if they'll be very happy about it then.
