DBW Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Two teams in the mix are Seattle and Indy.

RememberTheKoy Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Russ complains about his pass protection so they are trying to trade for Ertz? Not buying it. Roseman up to his old tricks by trying to generate interest through the media for a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an interesting scenario if seattle thinks wilson is going to gone, wentz and ertz would be something to consider (thats if you think wentz is fixable of course) Now personally i would really be excited seeing wilson in an eagles uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMatt Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 That's fine. Team is due a rebuild. Need to move on from aging expensive veterans. Ertz, Malik, Alshon, Djacc for starters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ertz was the last guy i would guess pulling a djax on us. I think the when we drafted Goedirt it got in his head. Kinda like drafting hurtz got in wentz’s head. These things reflect in the FO to me. It feels like a lack of communication between players and staff/management and/or super over sensitive players who can’t seem to simply do what they are getting paid to do which is fit into a 53 man roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have goedirt where as ertz best years are behind him. Of course this is just my thinking. Some fans here love wentz and want it to work. Im not one of them i can imagine wilson and geodirt becoming a deadly connection though and i LOVE the thought of wilson backed by hurtz and wilson grooming hurtz on being a successful mobile qb in the nfl and finally, we automatically become the nfce favorite by adding wilson and it would be an exciting offseason. Right now it’s just grim and keeping wentz and/or ertz here doesnt make it any brighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had his best 2 seasons of his career after Goedert was drafted. He had a sheet year this year for multiple reasons same as basically the whole team.

Clearly he wasnt giving his full effort last season. Im not looking at the whole teams play. Im talking about his. He wasnt playing with any inspiration at all. but im only speculating as the the reasona and goedirt drafted in the 2nd rnd is the thing i keep going back to but in any case, you are as good as your last season and ertz took a big step backwards as did wentz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Ertz was pissed about it Howie should of just traded him instead. Ertz had no leverage and Howie knew it I know people are pissed at Ertz and I don't care for the way he handled it this past year either. The team is a disaster starting at the top.

Correct you have to lose them in free agency. If you got comp picks for a release they would be cutting everyone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because they know we have no choice but to get his salary off the books. If the Eagles could even pretend that keeping him were an option, they might be able to flip him for a pick.

The FO managed to piss a lot of people off this year Yeah money is surely the big issue but having goedirt certainly effects ertz’s leverage in contract negotiations. also, i did say ertz best years are behind him. But that’s not a certainty. He could come back and be a top te. I just dont think it’s likely here. I like ertz. I dont like the way his career as an eagle is ending. I wish it went more like celeks did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ertz is truly untradable, you keep him on the roster for the year, get something out of him, and collect on a late round comp pick the following year. Instead, they’ll cut him now, eat a few million in dead $$$, and get nothing. Nicely done Howie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
