Former All-Pro quarterback Carson Wentz currently remains unsigned to a team. Wentz has been on three different teams the last three seasons and is waiting for the right time and situation to sign with a team.

Wentz spent last season with the Washington Commanders. After just one season with a 2-5 record with the team, Commanders chose not to re-sign him, making him a free agent this off-season.

Following free agency, the draft, and a little later into the off-season, Wentz still remains unsigned. ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter reported that Wentz has recently been spending time in Tampa Bay, Florida, throwing and studying film with former NFL head coach Jon Gruden.

"Free-agent QB Carson Wentz has been spending time in Tampa, throwing and studying film with former NFL head coach Jon Gruden. Wentz wants and intends to play this season, and is awaiting the right situation."

Shortly after his coaching career, he became a color commentator and after a few years, re-joined the Raiders in 2018. During an investigation by the league in 2021 regarding emails from the Washington Commanders, Gruden was caught using racial and homophobic slurs, which led to his sacking.
