FILE - Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard speaks during a press conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, in this Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020, file photo. With his team facing major holes at left tackle and edge rusher heading into next week's NFL Draft in Cleveland, April 29-May 1, 2021, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay hopes to fill one need with the No. 21 overall pick and the other over the final six rounds. But Irsay isn't tipping his hand about which way — or perhaps a third way — the Colts are leaning, certainly not with general manager Chris Ballard calling the shots. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)

FILE - Philadelphia Eagles' Carson Wentz (11) passes during an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks in Philadelphia, in this Monday, Nov. 30, 2020, file photo. Jettisoning a veteran player often comes with a price in the NFL, and not just because of the loss of skill and experience. In most cases, these annual late-winter moves leave a team trying to create more space under the salary cap with a certain amount of dead money. That can put the squeeze on free agent pursuits. The Philadelphia Eagles are the extreme example this year with a $33.8 million charge for trading quarterback Carson Wentz.(AP Photo/Rich Schultz, File)
