Carson Wentz Betting Odds: Commanders Ex to Become Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Backup?

The Washington Commanders cut Carson Wentz on Monday. Which team is the favorite to be his new home?

Carson Wentz is adjusting to his post-Washington Commanders life.

After being cut by the team earlier this week, Wentz now has options to sign with several teams around the league, either as a starter or a high-level backup.

Should he sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, a team looking for a player to backup Patrick Mahomes, he could position himself in a great spot to win his second Super Bowl ring.

According to Gamble Online, the Chiefs are the favorites to land Wentz at +300.

After failed stints as a starter with the Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts and Commanders, Wentz is looking for his fourth team in as many years. But he may still be looking for a chance to stay within the starting quarterback tier for one final shot.

A team that could tab him as the starter is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the second-likeliest team to sign Wentz at +400, per Gamble Online. Wentz would compete with 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask for the starting job.

The Las Vegas Raiders are also in the running looking for a starting quarterback after cutting Derek Carr last month. The Raiders sit comfortably with the third-best odds in the Wentz sweepstakes at +600. However, Las Vegas is likely to draft a rookie with the No. 7 pick and would likely see Wentz as a stopgap.

No matter where Wentz goes, he's set to face more adversity in his next stop.
