Schefter also reported that his sources told him that Washington will pay all $28 million due to Wentz for the 2022 season, which includes a $5 million roster bonus due next week.
Wentz would become the 11th quarterback to start for the Commanders franchise since Kirk Cousins left after the 2017 season.
The former No. 2 overall pick spent five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before his lone year in Indianapolis last season.
