The Colts have agreed to trade Carson Wentz to Washington and they may now be pivoting to another trade to bring in a new starting quarterback of their own.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Colts are expected to be in the running to acquire Jimmy Garoppolo from the 49ers. Garoppolo had right shoulder surgery on Tuesday and is expected to be healthy for training camp this summer.

49ers General Manager John Lynch said at the Scouting Combine that he has heard from multiple teams that are interested in trading for Garoppolo. The Wentz trade and the Russell Wilson trade have changed the landscape of teams looking for their next quarterback a bit, but it’s unclear if those moves will have a significant impact on the market for Garoppolo.

The Colts do not have a first-round pick due to their trade for Wentz and are set to receive a pair of third-round selections from the Commanders. They are also swapping second-round picks with Washington to go with their own third-, fourth, and fifth-round picks as well as two seventh-rounders. They may also receive compensatory picks for the free agent departures of Denico Autry and Jacoby Brissett last year.
