Carson Wentz's net worth: How much is the ex-commanders QB worth in 2023? Salary, contract explored

Carson Wentz is worth an estimated $78 Million at the time of writing. The veteran National Football League quarterback earned his net worth thanks to his stellar performances on the Gridiron and his endorsement deals off it.

He has been playing in the league since 2016, when the Philadelphia Eagles selected him as the second overall pick of the 2016 Draft.

Since joining the league, Wentz has racked up several accolades, including a Pro Bowl selection, a second-team All-Pro selection, and a Super Bowl win in Super Bowl LII. The former North Dakota State University QB peaked in 2017, as that was the year when he won all of the above accolades.

However, he has remained a solid NFL starting caliber QB since, helping most of his sides into the postseason. Wentz is looking for a new team following his release by the Washington Commanders in the 2023 off-season.

What did Carson Wentz earn as a salary in 2022?

Carson Wentz earned a total of $28,294,119 as salary for the 2022 NFL season playing as the QB1 for the Washington Commanders.

The Commanders signed Wentz to be the veteran quarterback that they needed to go to the next level, after he departed from the Indianapolis Colts. However, he didn't perform as the team expected, as he didn't lead them to a postseason berth.

He was paid a base salary of $22,000,001 for his efforts and $6,294,118 for being a part of the roster. Wentz had signed a three-year contract with the Commanders, but the side elected to release him rather than have him for the past two years of his deal.

Luckily, only the first year of Wentz's contract was guaranteed for the Commanders.

How did Carson Wentz perform in the 2022 NFL season?

Carson Wentz had an average 2022 season in which he performed below expectations as a member of the Washington Commanders, which expected to make the postseason due to the strength of their existing roster with the addition of an elite NFL starting quarterback in Wentz.

However, they finished at the bottom of the NFC East, becoming the only side in the division not to make the postseason.

Wentz put up a stat line of 1,755 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in eight games for the Commanders. He gave the team no other option than to release him, and they did just that in the opening weeks of the 2023 offseason.
