Yahoo Sports NFL on Carson Wentz

Wentz's injury-plagued decline cost Eagles $33.8M dead money after trade.

Carson Wentz received a record-breaking contract in early 2019 but fell apart thereafter due in part to an accumulation of injuries; the Eagles traded him away, forcing them to absorb $33.8 million in dead money at once, which accounted for a large percentage of the $59 million in total dead money they carried that year—a cautionary example of how unexpected injuries and declines can stress a team's salary cap strategy.
