Carson Wentz is going from backing up one Super Bowl-winning quarterback to backing up a three-time champion. According to reports, the Kansas City Chiefs are signing Carson Wentz to a one-year deal.
Wentz was most recently with the Los Angeles Rams as their No. 2 quarterback behind Matthew Stafford, holding that role for the second half of the 2023 season after being signed mid-year.
Wentz, the former No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, was last a starter in 2022 when he was with the Washington Commanders. He started seven games that year but went 2-5, throwing 11 touchdown passes with nine interceptions.
He sat out the first half of the 2023 campaign while waiting for a team to sign him, eventually landing with the Rams in early November. In his one start with Los Angeles, he went 17-for-24 with 163 yards, two touchdown passes and one interception. He also rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown in a win over the 49ers in the season finale.
The Rams opted not to re-sign Wentz, instead bringing in Jimmy Garoppolo to back up Stafford.
