Eagles fans can't decide if they like Carson Wentz trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
After weeks of drama, Carson Wentz was finally traded Thursday to the Colts for a package of draft picks in the next two NFL drafts.
Some Eagles fans seemed relieved that the back-and-forth is over, others seemed reluctant to watch the former face of the franchise depart, but everyone had something to say.
At first, it was general reaction to the move actually being real after so much speculation:
Well!! We tried !!

That deal is fine. Looks worse because of all the posturing, but if you told me three weeks ago this was the deal, I’m fine with it.

Indy never blinked...and cannot wait to hear those conditions of the 2 become a one....

They probably don’t make the Super Bowl without what he does in the regular season that year so I wish him well, but also wish him to do just well enough that he can be happy but not so well that I ever have to hear about him again. Let’s make that happen go team

We wouldn’t have made it to the Super Bowl without Carson Wentz, I hope he has success with the Colts #FlyEaglesFly #FireHowieRoseman https://t.co/4hfmHMUX2C

Then, as the details started trickling in, fans didn't seem very pleased with Howie Roseman's return from the Colts:
There it is. Howie came well short of his stated goal & record breaking cap hit. https://t.co/gEgp8CcRVr

The Colts front office is laughing almost as hard as the Vikings war room was on draft night

Fire Howie Roseman

@Eagles y’all suck.

Having to trade a guy you just gave a 5 year extension to and being forced to eat 30+ million in dead cap because you suck at building a competent roster and have terrible people skills is in no way a "win" for any NFL GM. https://t.co/Lp4sAuUlmm

But as more details emerged around the conditions on the draft picks, a few changed their tune:
That’s doable? https://t.co/aZfrlMaIxU

Very attainable conditions for that first https://t.co/kGmF1iZlpV

Wow.
Highly likely the Eagles get that 1.— Ross Tucker (@RossTuckerNFL) February 18, 2021
Some former Wentz teammates also chimed in:

Carson to the colts . That’s fire

Good for Carson. Fresh start! pic.twitter.com/HhM9DuUPky

The Colts can be a very good football team in 2021. If Wentz has a great first year in Indianapolis, it's going to be pure chaos across the Philadelphia sports fan landscape.
