Carson Wentz was unable to reinvigorate his career with the Washington Commanders during the 2022 season after going 2-5 in seven starts with the team and ultimately losing his job to Taylor Heinicke.
Wentz has been with three teams in the last three years and will likely try to find a backup position once the 2023 season begins when the Commanders released him last week. Gone are the days of him running for an NFL MVP award.

NFL journalist Peter King took a look at Wentz’s career since he was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the second overall pick in 2016 out of North Dakota State. In his «Football Morning in America» column, King noted that Wentz earned more than $128 million with an overall record of 46-45-1 and zero playoff wins.
