The NFL offseason has dry spots and lulls in time that allow for prognosticators and experts to come up with some creative and daring free agent and NFL draft scenarios.

Earlier in February, Nick Foles to the Eagles was a possibility and now thanks to ESPN Insiders, the Birds land a jack of all trades signal-caller in free agency.

Taysom Hill is looking for a chance to be a starting quarterback and the Eagles would like to subject Wentz to less punishment during a 16 or possible 17 game NFL season.

In a daring scenario from ESPN via Football Outsiders, free-agent quarterback Taysom Hill leaves the Saints for greener pastures in Philadelphia.

Wentz has been exceptional when he has played the past three seasons, finishing second, 13th and 11th in QBR in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. But he has missed 13 combined regular-season and playoff games in that time and played through injuries in many others. Wentz can’t seem to avoid big hits, and the Eagles’ improvements in offensive pressure rate and adjusted sack rate haven’t helped. The surest way to keep Wentz healthy for the playoffs is to keep him off the football field as much as possible. Philadelphia can accomplish this by signing super-utility quarterback Hill, a restricted free agent, and playing him 10 to 15 snaps per game under center. That would reduce Wentz’s injury risk, ease sophomore back Miles Sanders’ transition to a workhorse role, and provide Hill 200 or so snaps at quarterback to prove to future teams that he is capable of being a starter. That might be a hard sell for Hill this offseason despite his breakout divisional-round performance — he has attempted just 15 regular-season passes in his three-year Saints career.

Running the ball with a purpose, getting speedy wideouts and playing efficient defense is a sure way to keep Wentz healthy and off the field.

Wentz is a Ferrari and 10-15 plays on the bench provide less of an opportunity for the Eagles to secure big-plays while limiting his ability to dictate the pace of the game.

It’s an exciting idea, but with the Eagles making wholesale changes to the offensive coaching staff, the Birds are focused on getting even more out of Carson Wentz.
