The #Colts are re-signing RB Marlon Mack, per source.

Marlon Mack is coming off a missed 2020 season after tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 1. He'll likely be behind sophomore back Jonathan Taylor, joining Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins.

Former Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been traded to the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles received draft compensation in return.

Carson Wentz reunites with Frank Reich in Indy and gets a chance to revive his career after injuries and poor performance derailed much of the past two seasons. This also opens the starting QB job in Philly for Jalen Hurts.

Prior to the trade, our John Paulsen had Wentz and Hurts ranked 28th and 29th in his 'Never Too Early' rankings. That will change for the better for both signal callers.

Eagles are expected to trade Carson Wentz in the coming days in what would be the latest blockbuster QB deal to rock the NFL, sources tell @mortreport and me. The most pertinent questions now become where, when and for what. But it could happen as early as this week.

Sources say that teams have begun calling the Eagles on their former starter Wentz, plotting a roadmap for a potential trade as teams get closer to the start of the league year.

The Eagles are not in a hurry to trade Wentz -- and in fact as of now intend for him to return for 2021 under new coach Nick Sirianni -- but they did field the calls and discussed the issue. GM Howie Roseman will almost always listen, and this is no different.

The Colts are mentioned by both Rapoport and Garafolo, but there are reportedly other teams interested as well. Philly would be left with $34 million in dead money if they were able to trade Wentz, but there's no harm in answering calls.

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. is questionable for Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the team's official injury report.

The Colts should take care of the Jags without much, but Pittman has been a solid WR2 in their offense.

Doug Pederson said Monday that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start the season finale against Washington, which is meaningless for the Eagles but will make Washington the NFC East champion if the visitors win.

“Definitely want to continue to evaluate, not only him but the rest of the team, and where we are moving forward,” Pederson said.

Hurts wasn't great in Week 16, a loss to a Dallas and a defense that has struggled at times this year. But the Eagles want to continue to get a look at Hurts, as has been reported since he took over the starting job. There will be lots of decisions to make this offseason in Philly, from QB to coach to GM.
