Uh oh..
Carson Wentz’s back issue “still getting there”

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was upbeat and positive yesterday, saying his plan was still to be ready by the time the Eagles hit the field for OTAs.
That is not the same as being healed.
As noted by Dave Zangaro of NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com, Eagles coach Doug Pederson announced that Wentz’s stress fracture in his back would take around three months to be fully recovered. That makes this week a month past that expectation.
“It’s still getting there,” Wentz said. “Some of the stuff just takes time. That’s not really the main concern, it’s just kind of how I feel and I feel really good with where I’m at.”
Given Wentz’s injury history, any issue that lingers a month past the first timeframe is going to be a concern. Of course, it also shows why some coaches are so antsy about putting timeframes on injuries, because it creates alarm if they’re not accurate.
He said he can throw and run, but didn’t get into many specifics. He obviously doesn’t have to worry about contact until the preseason (and not much then).
The next real milepost for Wentz will be May 21, when they begin the OTA portion of their offseason program. If he’s not out there five months out from a three-month recovery, then there will be more explaining to do.

Don't know if that's cause for concern, or not. But, I'd certainly rather hear that he's healed.
Oh, and Russell Wilson just broke that bank yesterday also. 5 years, 157 million, and 65 million signing bonus.

And I just read that Carson said the dreadful "let my agent handle it" to the press

The Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson have reached agreement on a four-year, $140 million extension that includes a $65 million signing bonus and makes the quarterback the highest-paid player in the NFL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports via Brady Henderson of ESPN. This according to a source.
With the four new years added to his contract, Wilson, 30, is now contractually tied to the Seahawks through the 2023 season, the source said.
In addition to topping Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' contract as the richest ever with a new-money annual average of $35 million per season, Wilson's signing bonus also sets a new record. Rodgers was first in both categories at $33.5 million and $57.5 million, respectively, on the extension he signed last summer.
The deal includes a no trade clause, a source said.
Wilson, without specifying terms, said he had reached a deal in a video he posted to Twitter about 45 minutes after the passing of the midnight deadline that his side had set for an extension.
