UNDATED (AP) — Carson Wentz reportedly is on the move once again.

A person with direct knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press the Washington Commanders have agreed to acquire the quarterback from the Indianapolis Colts.

The deal cannot be finalized until the start of the new league year next week.

It was not immediately clear what the Commanders would send to the Colts in their latest attempt for a franchise quarterback. ESPN reported two third-round draft picks were involved.

Wentz has three years remaining on his contract. The 2016 second overall pick of the Eagles spent just one season with Indianapolis.
