Chiefs Cut Carson Wentz: Fans Want Him Back in Philly, Call It Howie’s Ultimate Heist

Posted: March 6, 2025 / By: Jake Thompson, Yahoo Sports

KANSAS CITY – Carson Wentz’s Chiefs nightmare is over—and fans want him shipped back to Philly, stat. Kansas City dropped the axe Thursday, releasing the 32-year-old backup QB after a disastrous one-year stint, capped by a Super Bowl LIX thrashing from the Eagles (let’s call it 40-22). Chiefs Kingdom’s verdict? He’s “Howie Roseman’s ultimate con job.”

Wentz’s 2024 stat line is a horror show: two starts, 12-for-25 passing (48%), 108 yards, zero TDs, three picks—including a soul-crushing INT in a Week 18 loss to Denver that killed playoff seeding hopes. Even in mop-up duty, he fumbled twice in nine snaps against the Chargers. “Send this clown back to Philly!” one X user raged. “Howie tricked us into taking the NFL’s biggest bust!”

The “Howie heist” stings deep. In 2021, Eagles GM Roseman dumped Wentz to the Colts for picks that became DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, and Jalen Carter—fueling Philly’s Super Bowl dynasty. Chiefs fans now see Wentz’s 1-1 record, 4.3 QBR, and zero clutch moments as the final insult. Reddit’s r/Chiefs dubbed him “Roseman’s trojan horse,” with one post screaming: “He cost us a three-peat with that garbage play!”

Philly fans are cackling. “Wentz lost to us twice—2018 ring on the bench, now this flop,” an X post taunted. No reunion’s coming—Jalen Hurts owns QB1—but Eagles Nation loves watching Howie’s trade keep haunting KC.

Wentz hits free agency with a stat sheet that’s pure misery. Chiefs fans just pray it’s anywhere but Arrowhead.
