And the irony of all of this is the initial presumption ...... a lot of people (maybe even the Commanders themselves) probably figured that the Commanders would have their usual crappy season, and be something like 3-9 or 4-8 right now. And at 3-9 or 4-8 and no hope for a playoff berth, all of the talk would probably be around whether or not a team that has no hope for playoff contention would then sit their starting quarterback (Wentz) for the remainder of the season, considering the stipulation/clause in the trade that they made for him.
Well, the opposite has happened ...... the Commanders are a pretty damned good team this season, as they are one of the hottest teams in the NFL having won 6 out of their last 7 games. They are very much in the hunt for a playoff berth at 7-5, and the last thing on their minds is whether or not Carson Wentz will play enough games to activate the trade stipulation in regard to a draft pick ...... the Commanders are thinking playoffs, and they probably couldn't give a rat's ass about Carson Wentz and the stipulation in his contract regarding his playing time.
