The Eagles traded Carson Wentz to the Colts, finally ending the long-standing offseason saga on Thursday.

Who is responsible for this dark day in the organization’s history? All signs point to Howie Roseman, and Wentz also deserves a share of the blame after his regression in 2020.

But while it’s important to assess what went wrong in the past, the Eagles’ future remains the key priority approaching April’s NFL draft.

The Birds’ Eye View crew analyzes the value and impact of the deal and predicts the organization’s future at quarterback.
