Carson Wentz career earnings: How much did QB make from his pro football career?

Former MVP frontrunner Carson Wentz was recently released from the Washington Commanders, ending a disappointing spell in the capital for the once-elite quarterback.

Wentz never truly got going with the Commanders, and as a starting QB, he was often met with jeers, boos, and slander from the fan base. He will be looking for his fourth team in four years, having spent the earlier part of his career in relative stability with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The American shot caller and former second overall pick has made a total of $128 million during his seven-year NFL career. The Philadelphia Eagles drafted him as the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft and he earned $18 million in his first season in the pros.

Wentz represented excellent value for money in his first season as he put up a stat line of 3,782 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions as a rookie. It wasn't the most efficient debut season, but it's difficult to find many rookies who handled the pressure as well as Carson Wentz did in 2016.

In his second season, the North Dakota State University legend earned $1,662,561. The sharp decline was due to his rookie contract being structured to be back-heavy. The temporary drop in earnings didn't affect Wentz in the slightest, as the second-year QB made statistical improvements.

He put up a stat line of 3,296 passing yards, 33 touchdowns, and seven interceptions for the season and was the MVP frontrunner before getting injured.

In his third and fourth seasons in Philly, the veteran earned $2 million and $17 million, respectively.

Wentz put up impressive stat lines over his third and fourth seasons, throwing for over 20 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in both seasons. He led the Eagles to back-to-back winning seasons.

Wentz's last season with the Philadelphia Eagles saw him earn $39 million, his highest single-season pay up to that point. He was already on the decline that season, and the Eagles were eager to see him move on and invest in another QB.

He put up a middling stat line of 2,620 passing yards (a career-low up to that point), 16 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions for the season.

Wentz left the Philadelphia Eagles to sign a contract with the Indianapolis Colts worth $21 million for a single season.

Unfortunately, he did not perform as the Colts had hoped. He put up a stat line of 3,563 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions for the season. He was let go at the end of the year.

Carson Wentz's most recent stop was with the Washington Commanders, who signed him to a multi-season deal with a guaranteed $28 million in his first season. He had the worst season of his career with the Commanders, and he lost his starting job numerous times to Taylor Heinicke.

He put up a stat line of 1,755 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in eight games for the Commanders and was released on Monday.
