playtowinthegame Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Zach Ertz isn’t getting his trade wish for a while The draft weekend came and went without Ertz moving a muscle. The Eagles want value in return for the three-time Pro Bowl tight end and clearly aren’t receiving the trade interest that they think he warrants. With no way of adding draft capital to impact this year’s roster, the Eagles should wait to trade or release Ertz, even if that’s to his detriment. The Eagles can save $8.5 million -- as opposed to $4.95 million -- if they trade Ertz in June. At this point, their return is likely to involve a 2022 draft pick, so waiting a month to make a move is an obvious strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're talking!!! Zach protected by Alijah and throwing to either Elijah or Zach. We basically HAVE TO trade for Ertz now. Doesn't Joe Douglas see the signs.... I mean our GM is all about symmetry. He hired another completely bald man to lead this team with him for chrissakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Honestly, we have to trade one of our ultra talented players to get Ertz. Someone who is proven he has skills to pay the bills. Someone who can run, block, and do all the things. Someone from a tough, gritty college program, someone who can overcome adversity off the field. I hate to do it, but I am willing to part ways with Herndon for Ertz. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If we get him after he's released....sure. No way we should overpay for a washed up TE. And with how Philly overvalued Wentz??? Probably not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one I don't think Ertz has much left in him and as much as I wanted it to happen, thought it would happen, I dont think Darnold becomes a consistent pro bowl type QB Never mind the financial issues that go along with Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playtowinthegame Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Bill Belichick has some fun with Zach Ertz: ‘I’m still going to get you some day’ The New England Patriots held their first joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday morning. After the session Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Eagles tight end Zach Ertz got together for a light-hearted exchange that was captured by Jamie Apody of 6abc Sports in Philadelphia. “I’m still going to get you some day,” Belichick said, according to Apody. “But Howie [Roseman] wants two first-round picks and two of my grandchildren!” Moving on from Ertz would make sense for the Eagles and their general manager, Roseman. Not only is the 30-year-old coming off the worst statistical season of his career — playing in 11 games he set new career-lows in receptions (36) receiving yards (335) and touchdowns (1) — he also carries a salary cap hit of $12.7 million in the final season of his current contract. Could the Patriots be interested in acquiring that deal alongside a player on the wrong side of 30 coming off a disappointing season? That seems highly unlikely, especially considering that New England invested in Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry just earlier this offseason. Ertz might have a future in New England further down the line, but definitely not on his current contract. SOURCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 That’s a pretty funny comment from BB. Roseman is probably asking for the moon. Still think we should trade for him. I feel even better about a trade giving how good our young guys look (except at TE) If a 5th can get him, I’d do it. We have depth on our team (except at TE) and next year’s draft should be more about quality than quantity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The Jets will go w/ the tight ends they have unless someone they like gets cut. Joe D is not trading any draft picks for a tight end. He will use a 1st round pick next year to get the best tight in the draft: Jaylen Wydermyer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodGreen Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Not sure Ertz is the best guy, but I would love to see a veteran pass catching tight end added to support ZW, if the price is right.
