“I’m excited to add him to the team. I know how important the quarterback position is and how important the dynamic is,” he said.
Some wondered if the move indicated a concern the organization has with Wentz, but Wentz believes nothing has changed with the team’s belief in him, and that the organization re-enforced that commitment with his contract extension last year.
“There’s no concern for me. I think the team showed their investment in me last year,” he added.
Meanwhile, Wentz has had plenty of sleepless nights not related to his job as he and his wife continue to savor the birth of their daughter, which took place on April 27.
General manager Howie Roseman made it clear Wentz is still the team's starting quarterback, and believes it's always important to have plenty of depth at the most important position in football.
