Five years ago, quarterback Carson Wentz signed a contract worth $32 million per year. However, in 2024, he will be earning around 10 percent of that amount.
Reportedly, Wentz’s one-year deal with the Chiefs is valued at $3.325 million, including $2.2 million guaranteed and $1.1 million in per-game bonuses. To receive the full amount, he must be active for every game.
For Wentz, this opportunity is more about learning and growth than financial gain. Being part of the Chiefs provides him the chance to learn from Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid, potentially setting the stage for a future starting role.
At 31 years old, there’s still time for Wentz to refine his game and minimize mistakes, such as unconventional plays. Being with the Chiefs offers him the environment to improve in this regard.
Furthermore, there’s the possibility of winning another Super Bowl ring with his new team.
