NFL fans react to Chiefs signing Carson Wentz: “Mahomes in trouble” “Another Super Bowl incoming”

The 33rd Team NFL writer Ari Meirov announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Carson Wentz has agreed to join the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2024 season. Although the specific details of the one-year contract have not been revealed, it is confirmed that he will serve as backup to Patrick Mahomes.

This deal will result in the second overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft joining his fifth team in just five seasons. The announcement of Wentz’s signing has caused a stir on social media, with one football fan making a sarcastic remark:

“Mahomes in trouble”

Mahomes’ status as the starting quarterback for the Chiefs is unquestionable, particularly considering his role in leading the team to back-to-back Super Bowl wins.

In addition, a different NFL fan commented on the Wentz update:

“Another Chiefs Super Bowl incoming”

The ex-North Dakota State star has the opportunity to be a crucial member of the Chiefs as they strive to make history as the first NFL team to achieve three consecutive Super Bowl victories.

Additional responses to Carson Wentz’s arrival at the Chiefs have led some to question if this could be an April Fools prank.

Despite winning Super Bowl 59 with the Chiefs, Carson Wentz will only have two championship rings. This is because Nick Foles is primarily credited for the Philadelphia Eagles’ triumph in Super Bowl 52.

By a stroke of luck, this signing will result in Wentz being able to play alongside the Kelce brothers for the duration of his career. He was previously a teammate of Jason Kelce, who recently retired as the center for the Philadelphia Eagles, and will now have the opportunity to be on the same team as All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Rise and Fall of Carson Wentz: From Top Prospect to NFL Journeyman

The Eagles chose Wentz as their pick after Jared Goff, who was taken first overall. Wentz was highly sought after due to his impressive qualifications upon entering the NFL. In his final season, he led the Bison to their fifth consecutive FCS national championship. Throughout his college football career, Wentz accumulated 5,115 passing yards, 1,028 rushing yards, and 58 touchdowns.

Despite initially showing promise as the franchise quarterback that Philadelphia had been searching for, Wentz’s 2017 season was cut short by a torn ACL after leading the Eagles to an impressive 11-2 record in 13 starts. As a result, Foles took over as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.

Unfortunately, this marked the start of the end of his time with the Eagles. Despite signing a four-year, $128 million contract extension in 2019, he only managed a record of 12-15-1 as their starting quarterback. Due to his difficulties on the field and the rise of Jalen Hurts, the Eagles made the decision to trade him to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick.

Following his one season with Indianapolis, Carson Wentz joined the Washington Commanders. In November of last year, he was signed by the Los Angeles Rams as a backup for Matthew Stafford. During his brief time with the team, he appeared in two games and recorded 163 passing yards and two touchdowns.
