The quarterback only started seven games last season, in part due to a finger injury.
The Commanders released quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday after just one season with the team.
The move doesn’t come as a complete surprise, as the Commanders were expected to “part ways” with Wentz.
Wentz was acquired from the Colts prior to last season, and he was expected to be the Commanders’ starter. However, Wentz finished the year with just seven starts in eight games, partially due to a fractured finger he suffered in Week 6. He didn’t return until Week 16.

MLB’s rule changes are polarizing, but they aren’t hated by fans yet
Making any changes in the way a baseball game is played is certain to bring derision. For years, every rule in the MLB rulebook has been sacrosanct.
But with a boom, MLB has entered the 21st century, like it or not.
This year the league announced five major rule changes and the solidification of an already controversial rule. MLB hopes the changes will improve rate of play and the speed of the game. Now fans are going to find out just how different baseball will look.
The star guard might use her bonus COVID year of eligibility to play two more seasons with the Hawkeyes.
Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark revealed Monday that she is considering delaying her professional career for another season as she might use her COVID year of eligibility.
As a junior, Clark will play at least one more collegiate season before declaring for the WNBA draft. (Clark, 21, won’t be eligible for the WNBA draft until 2024.) That could easily turn into two more seasons if Clark decides to extend her collegiate career.
The NBA has a load management issue and the only things it’s hurting are the league itself and its fans. Charles Barkley played in an era where basketball players actually played basketball and even as someone paid millions to talk about and promote the league, he isn’t afraid to call it as he sees it.

The west coast conference and commissioner George Kliavkoff have been urgently hunting down a new media deal as the conference enters the final football season of its current deal.
So far, there’s no deal to be found. To make matters worse, the Big 12 has a deal that will pay conference members $31.7 million annually moving forward.
So, not only does the PAC-12 not have a deal, its seemingly new rival – the Big 12 – can offer schools looking to jump stability.
Kermit Davis and Ole Miss mutually agreed to part ways amid a disastrous SEC run last week. The 63-year-old had been the head coach of the men’s basketball program since 2018 and went 74-79 in just under five years.
