According to Sports Illustrated, "the Commanders will be taking on Wentz’s full contract, which results in $22 million (with $6.294 million roster bonus) in 2022; $20 million (with $6.176 million roster bonus) in 2023; and $20 million (with $6.235 million roster bonus) in 2024.

Additionally, the Colts will receive two third-round picks (one is potential in 2023 if Wentz plays 70 percent of plays) and a second-round pick. The Commanders get Wentz and a second-round pick."

Former USC wide receiver and current Colts wideout Michael Pittman Jr. commented on the trade move. "Appreciate you @cj_wentz. Great teammate and friend! He will be great!"

Pittman Jr. caught passes from Wentz last season.
