So, If I understand the salary cap and, in view of the outrageous (to me) prices teams are paying for supposedly franchise QB's, then the Commanders may have set things up for two possible ways to get the QB they need at a minimal price. They signed Wentz and now they could draft a QB they like. If Wentz is able to turn things around here, great! If not, then they could cut Wentz and go with the young QB they drafted.
Then again, I may not fully understand all of the potential salary cap gotchas.

from what I understand Wentz is basically just 3 years at 28-30m/year, so it's a 1-3 year contract, at the team's option. Washington could extend + restructure to lower the cap hit this year, but not really in their interest to do that at this point (let's see how he does first).
