Colts: Check out Carson Wentz’s NJ mansion for sale
By Jerry Trotta
The Indianapolis Colts’ decision to trade for Carson Wentz was met with mixed reviews among fans after he put together an absolutely miserable campaign under center with Philadelphia this past season.
The sheer regression he endured is something folks are (understandably) having trouble forgetting, but we like to think cooler heads will prevail once Wentz his the practice field with his new teammates for the first time.
What will also help win over fans is the trade itself becoming official.
Since terms of the deal were agreed before the start of the new league year, the Colts aren’t permitted to announce it yet and head coach Frank Reich can’t even address his excitement about being reunited with Wentz.
That will go a long way as far as alleviating concerns, and fans will be thrilled to hear that the next step before the blockbuster becomes official was just taken, as Wentz and his family have put their South Jersey mansion up for sale for a reported $1.7 million.
Want an inside look at the location? Sure you do.

Colts QB Carson Wentz has put his New Jersey mansion up for sale.
At first glance, the 7,408 square foot house looks exactly what would you expect from someone who spent a large portion of his life in North Dakota.
The lodge vibes are evident, but once you stumble across photos of the home’s interior, you’ll realize it has ample modern amenities, some of which include a theatre room, home gym, hot tub, bar area, and an entire room set aside for Wentz’s hunting equipment.
Anybody who’s paid close attention to Wentz’s career knows how much he adores hunting, and you can bet that he’s already done his research about where in Indianapolis he can continue carrying out this seasonal hobby.
Perhaps the mansion’s most impressive feature is its location, as it’s surrounded by a whopping 11 acres of land (with an adjacent 23 acres also accessible). If you’re a fan of privacy and lucrative patios that lead to an absolutely gorgeous in-ground pool, from which you have a great view of the encircling forest, by the way, this is the house for you.

When you consider that Wentz already penned a heartfelt goodbye and thank you to the Eagles organization and city of Philadelphia, selling his New Jersey home was pretty much the last possible step he could take in terms of signaling the start of the next chapter of his career.
Wherever the former No. 2 overall pick chooses to settle in Indianapolis (or a neighboring state), if all goes well with the Colts, he won’t be forced to move again for the foreseeable future — unless, of course, he and his family simply want a change of scenery.
