In 2016, Carson Wentz signed a lucrative contract worth $32 million per year with the Eagles. However, in 2024, he will only be making around 10 percent of that amount as he signs a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite the significant pay cut, Wentz sees this opportunity as a chance to learn from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid.
According to reports from NFL Media, the contract includes $2.2 million guaranteed and $1.1 million in per-game active roster bonuses. Wentz will need to be in uniform each week to receive the full amount. At this stage in his career, Wentz is focused on seizing the opportunity to potentially become a starter again, rather than the financial aspect of the deal. At 31 years old, he still has time to improve and refine his skills, such as eliminating occasional careless mistakes like left-handed throws from his own end zone.
By joining the Chiefs, Wentz hopes to lay the groundwork for a successful comeback and possibly win a second Super Bowl ring. With the guidance of Mahomes and Reid, he aims to learn from his past errors and showcase his talent on the field once again.
