Five years ago, quarterback Carson Wentz signed a contract that paid out $32 million per year. He’ll be making roughly 10 percent of that in 2024.
According to NFL Media, Wentz’s one-year contract with the Chiefs has a base value of $3.325 million.
Per the report, the contract includes $2.2 million guaranteed plus $1.1 million in per-game active roster bonuses. He’ll need to be in uniform every week to get the full amount.
He’s only 31. If he can iron out the periodic head-scratching plays, like a left-handed throw from his own end zone, he has a chance. If he’s ever going to learn how to not do those things, he’s going to learn it from the Chiefs.
And he might win a second Super Bowl ring along the way.
