Through 12 games, it's now mathematically improbable that either quarterback will reach that mark in the regular season, and their former teams won't get as rich in draft capital next spring.When the traded for Wentz and his contract this offseason, they dealt a third-round pick to Indianapolis as well as a conditional third that could turn into a second if Wentz played 70% of the snaps. (The teams also swapped 2022 second-round picks.)The Commanders have played 834 offensive snaps so far this season, according to Pro Football Reference. Wentz has played in 422 of those snaps. If the team averages about 70 snaps per game Ted Williams Jersey like it has the previous 12 games, Wentz would need to play nearly six full games to account for 70 percent of the team's snap total for 2022. Washington has just five games remaining, and will start Sunday against the . "That had nothing to do with it," one Commanders source said recently about whether the decision to keep rolling with Heinicke as the starter was related at all to draft-pick compensation.

The Panthers drafted in the third round last year, and they're more likely to retain either or than Mayfield, if any of the three at all.While the Commanders are 2-4 with Wentz under center and 5-1 with Heinicke as the starter, the latter hasn't exactly played like a world-beater in his six games.

There's no guaranteed money remaining on Wentz's deal, and the Commanders can cut him this offseason with no dead-cap penalty.
