Carson Wentz is officially the new quarterback of the Washington Commanders. At 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Washington’s trade with Indianapolis for Wentz became official, and the team welcomed its new quarterback on Twitter.
Shortly after the brief Twitter video showing Wentz’s highlights from 2021, with the caption, “Welcome to the DMV, Carson,” the team released a graphic showing Wentz in the team’s brand new black alternates.
From the graphic, it’s evident Wentz will be returning to his old No. 11 — the number he donned during the first five years of his NFL career with the Eagles and in college. Wentz wore No. 2 in 2021 with the Colts.

Wide receiver Cam Sims wore No. 11 in 2021, and he is currently a free agent. However, the team was attempting to bring him back. Sims wore No. 89 during the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Commanders.
Washington Commanders are expected to sign back WR Cam Sims, per source. That's in the works.
