Carson Wentz, a veteran quarterback, started his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles but has since signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. This move reunites him with former Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who is now with the Chiefs. Wentz will serve as the backup to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. This marks the fourth team change for Wentz in as many years, with his most recent stint with the Los Angeles Rams under coach Sean McVay receiving positive reviews. The Chiefs see Wentz as a strong option to back up Mahomes, given his experience with 93 career starts. Wentz was originally drafted by the Eagles in 2016, spent five seasons there, and was an MVP candidate in his second year. Injuries and inconsistent play led to his departure from Philadelphia in 2021, and he has since had brief stints with the Indianapolis Colts, the Washington Commanders, and most recently the Rams.
