Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter.The NFL has apparently turned into a giant game of Madden, because before this week, playing Madden was the only time I had ever seen two giant quarterback trades go down le s than 24 hours apart. I mean, I wasn't even halfway done proce sing the trade when the decided to trade . I need my proce sing time, NFL, so please SLOW DOWN with the trades.Thanks to the Wentz trade, the Colts now don't have a starting QB on their roster, which says all you need to know about Wentz: Indianapolis would rather have no one than him. Of course, the Colts do need someone under center this year and we'll be taking a look at their options in today's newsletter, plus we'll be grading the Wentz trade.As if that's not enough, we'll also be UNVEILING Pete Prisco's ranking of the 100 best free agents. Basically, if you're only going to read one newsletter this week, it should probably be this one.Alright, let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . 1. Today's show: Super Bowl favorites after Ru sell Wilson trade and ' decision to returnWith Ru sell Wilson making the move from the NFC to the AFC, the competitive landscape in the NFL underwent a dramatic shift https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/robin-lopez-jersey this week. If you combine Wilson's exit with the retirement of , that leaves the NFC with a pretty weak group of quarterbacks compared to the AFC. If you want to start an argument with someone this weekend, just ask them to name the top five quarterbacks in the NFC. The first two are easy -- I'd say Aaron Rodgers and -- but after that, things get kind of dicey (Is next or is it ? And even if you have them as your next two, who do you put after that? ?!?!? !?!?!??!?!)With the balance of power shifting, Will Brinson and Tyler Sullivan spent today's episode of the Pick Six Podcast trying to figure out who the Super Bowl favorites should be from each conference.In the AFC, Sullivan likes the as a dark horse with 14-to-1 Super Bowl odds, "It wouldn't surprise me at all if all of a sudden takes a big leap and they've retooled and they've created a much more competitive roster going into this year." As for Brinson, he loves the ' odds to win the AFC at 20-to-1.In the NFC, Sullivan likes the betting value offered by THE , who are 14-to-1 to win the NFC. Even though Brady has retired, Sullivan still thinks they have a lot of talent and if they can find a quarterback, there's no reason they can't compete for an NFC title, "They're an organization that's pretty open to being aggre sive. They're keeping together a lot of this core that won a Super Bowl together."The two guys also spent a good portion of the podcast trying to figure out how the should rebuild following the lo s of both Wilson and .To listen to today's episode, .

Colts ship Carson Wentz off to Washington: Full trade details, plus grading the deal for both teamsIf there's one team that has perfected the art of making bad moves during the offseason, it's definitely Washington and the Commanders continued that trend on Wednesday by acquiring Carson Wentz from the Colts. If the Commanders had asked nicely, the Colts probably would have given Wentz away for free, but instead, Washington decided to overpay for Wentz.Here's a look at the trade details:Colts receive: 2022 second-round pick, 2022 third-round pick, 2023 third-round pick that can become a second-rounder if Wentz plays 70% of Washington's offensive snaps.Commanders receive: Carson Wentz, 2022 second-round pick, 2022 seventh-round pick (the seventh-rounder is a new part of the deal that ).Other notable parts of the deal: Washington will also pay all of Wentz's $28.3 million salary for 2022. With Wentz's salary now off their books, the Colts are than any other team heading into free agency at $69.8 million. I'm not a huge fan of this trade on Washington' https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/jaylen-adams-jersey s end. Although Wentz is a slight step up from , he's not a big enough step up to justify the amount of compensation the Commanders had to give up to land him (plus, they're paying his entire salary). Also, if Wentz's two biggest supporters -- Doug Pederson and Frank Reich -- have given up on him, I have a hard time seeing how he succeeds in Washington. Does this mean I'll print out today's newsletter and eat it if Wentz wins a Super Bowl as Washington's starting quarterback? Yes, I think that's what it means.TRADE GRADESAs you can tell, I didn't love this trade for the Commanders, but I do know someone who liked this trade more for Washington than he did for Indy and that someone is Bryan DeArdo, who handed out CBSSports.com's grades for the trade. Here's a look at DeArdo's grades:Commanders grade: C+.Colts grade: C-. Personally, I would probably flip flop these grades. The fact that the Colts gave up on Wentz after giving up multiple first-round picks to land him is definitely a bad look, but they found someone to pay his salary and they're getting back multiple picks in return. For Washington, they needed a quarterback going into the offseason and I'm not sure they filled that need with this trade. 3. Colts' options at QB now that Wentz is goneIf you're wondering how badly Indianapolis wanted to get rid of Carson Wentz, just think about it like this: The Colts decided they'd rather have no one at quarterback than Wentz. Yes, the Colts do have and , but it's highly unlikely either one of those guys will be the starter for Indy heading into 2022.What this means is that the Colts are going to have to acquire a quarterback and with that in mind, Cody Benjamin took a look at Indy's best options for 2022. Here are the four most notable ones: . According , the Colts are expected to be in the mix for Garoppolo's services. . Kirk Cousins. (Note: CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora that the are looking to dump big contracts and it wouldn't be surprising to him if Cousins' deal was one of those). .
