Months after the Wentz deal, Philadelphia sent their first-round pick (No. 12) and the third-rounder from Indianapolis to the Dallas Cowboys to move up two spots to No. 10, where they drafted wide receiver DeVonta Smith.

Carson Wentz has a chance to win a Super Bowl with the Chiefs on Sunday, but he also helped the Eagles to get to this point.

After winning Super Bowl LII, albeit injured on the bench, quarterback Carson Wentz was supposed to return to his starting position and lead a potential Philadelphia Eagles dynasty.

Once a franchise pillar for the Eagles, the quarterback will be on the opposite sideline Sunday as the Chiefs’ backup.

Carson Wentz will see his former team when the Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. While the NFL‘s biggest game is always exciting by itself, there are countless reasons that make Super Bowl LIX even more attractive.

He watched his backup win a storybook Super Bowl, setting off years of criticism, but Wentz’s old teammates have his back.

It seems like a lifetime has occurred — at least in NFL terms — since Carson Wentz last played for the Eagles. A lot has happened since his trade request was granted and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman dealt his franchise quarterback to the Indianapolis Colts in 2021.

Carson Wentz’s past and present are about to collide, but it’s the predictions for his future that might be most tantalizing. Wentz — the former Eagles franchise quarterback who was upstaged by the 2018 Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles while recovering from a torn ACL — will be on the opposite sideline Sunday as Chiefs backup quarterback in Super Bowl 2025.
