NFL fans roast Carson Wentz as reports emerge of QB working with Jon Gruden - "Wildest fall from grace"

Former All-Pro quarterback Carson Wentz currently remains unsigned to a team. Wentz has been on three different teams the last three seasons and is waiting for the right time and situation to sign with a team.

Wentz spent last season with the Washington Commanders. After just one season with a 2-5 record with the team, Commanders chose not to re-sign him, making him a free agent this off-season.

Following free agency, the draft, and a little later into the off-season, Wentz still remains unsigned. ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter reported that Wentz has recently been spending time in Tampa Bay, Florida, throwing and studying film with former NFL head coach Jon Gruden.

"Free-agent QB Carson Wentz has been spending time in Tampa, throwing and studying film with former NFL head coach Jon Gruden. Wentz wants and intends to play this season, and is awaiting the right situation."

Both Jon Gruden and Carson Wentz have been on top of the world (at different times). Gruden led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history in 2002. He coached the Oakland Raiders and Buccaneers from 1998-2008.

Shortly after his coaching career, he became a color commentator and after a few years, re-joined the Raiders in 2018. During an investigation by the league in 2021 regarding emails from the Washington Commanders, Gruden was caught using racial and homophobic slurs, which led to his sacking.

As for Wentz, he was on his way to winning the league MVP in 2017 as he led the Philadelphia Eagles to an 11-2 record. In week 14, he tore his ACL against the Los Angeles Rams, which ended his season. Backup quarterback Nick Foles took over and won the Super Bowl, Wentz would struggle the next two seasons in Philadelphia, which resulted in him being traded to the Indianapolis Colts.

After one season in the Midwest, the 30-year-old joined the Commanders and started seven games this past season.
