And not just get open but make those big catches in crucial moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard will go to a team that needs one more piece on the back end and has a ton of cap space so they can pay him outrageous money while not being tied to a corner who'll be 33 by the time the contract the Eagles could afford would be over.

EazyEaglez Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The longer this goes on the less I see Ertz moving. Basically at this point if Ertz really wants out then he might as well retire try to do what Bell did. Not like that worked out well for his career though. The best move for Ertz would be to come to camp, say all this stuff is behind him, play his butt off, and get paid next off-season. The Eagles are too cap strapped to do anything like franchise tag him so he can be off on his next journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, he has no leverage and needs to play for what is likely his final contract. I still think a trade is likely, but other teams need to understand we will not simply give away a recent 3 time pro bowl tight end. Eagles are right to take their time with this.

I think someone should start Ertz is staying topic.instead of Ertz being traded topic..since the probability of Ertz being traded at this point is becoming non factor. Ertz most likely will play out his last year here in preparation for the next year's free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portyansky Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Really don't understand why he's on the team still. I just hope he will not just "play not to get injured" and not give it his all. Last year his demeanor sucked! Could tell he didn't give AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s simply because the Eagles want at least a conditional third for him, but other teams are reluctant to give that after last year. It’s in Ertz’s interest to play well this year. Will really affect his next contract. I still think he gets dealt at some point, but Howie is right to slow play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports now are that he's over his issues and has been working out at the facility with his teammates the last couple of weeks. He's planning to report and is expected to be on the opening day roster. Following an offseason that featured a ton of trade chatter around tight end Zach Ertz, the Eagles stood pat and the three-time Pro Bowler is now expected to report to training camp, according to multiple reports. https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagles-sirianni-hurts-ertz-gannon-20210726.html https://twitter.com/howardeskin/status/1417885654323769350?s=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being on their payroll probably helps. We'll see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infam Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Many times we had to wait for solutions to these situations. And usually the fans want to get things done quickly even if it is for cheap or nothing. Not long ago people here told me that we get a sixth at best for Wentz, and that dragged on for quite some time. Usually Mr. Roseman is right to wait for a better offer. I get that some believe Ertz deserves better, but to me a contract is a contract and we deserve at least a fourth for him. Still, I am glad these trades are negotiated by someone worth his salt.

Hawkeye Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Ertz reported for camp today and will be on the field tomorrow. What happens next is anyone's guess but there are worse things in the world than Jalen Hurts having both Ertz and Godert along with Sanders in the 12 grouping, which "they" say Siriani likes a lot.

People keep telling me I'm nuts, but I still expect and believe we will get at least a conditional 3rd for Ertz. People are too influenced by some of the Philly hacks who claim we should just release him. He's an asset and we need to treat him as such, not throw him away because our cap is tight or he's a bit unhappy about not getting a new contract.

Bwestbrook36 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 He won't be traded at deadline either, there is like 3 trades in the whole league made at deadline in the NFL. Unless a team trades for him in a system he is familiar with he isn't going anywhere mid season either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to trade him. Nobody wanted him, or their ask was too high. Cutting him only saves $4m of cap space. It’s not like He’s not a bad player so he’s worth the cap space.
