Seems like Belicheat is always going after former Eagles. It’s like he’s saying those dopes over there never knew how to use them. I’ll show them.

Unfortunately news out of Jets camp is they're not giving up on him, not sure he'll show improvement as I think the Jets went from bad to worse at QB. Yes, Reagor belongs in the slot however I think the have 3 RBs that would fair better there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly he wanted a new deal. To stay here. The media made it this big blown up fight between him and Howie and said he wanted out and would never resign here etc. He probably figured Howie wasn’t going to give him what he wanted, and maybe he’s right, and allegedly Howie tried to trade him but didn’t get enough value back. I said all along that he wasn’t going to be traded. Howie cleared plenty of cap space so they didn’t need to trade him. He’s a good player and under contract there’s no reason to not want him here. I believe they’ll work out a deal to keep him around. They kept celek beyond what they probably should have, so similarly they can do that here with zach.

My prediction is if he’s having a good year they’ll look to extend him early but otherwise he’ll be allowed to test FA and maybe they match it or get close to it. I’m willing to bet he takes years over dollars being that he loves the area and wants to stay in philly on a personal level. Someone would need to blow him away and Eagles not want to match.

I think both sides realized they had misjudged the market, took some time to cool off, shook hand and made up. Ertz can be a game changer for Hurts.

I actually just came back to say he could just making sure he is being a good boy so if he plays well he may help his trade value a little or when he is a free agent.

I think they could jerry rig a trade with Buffalo, it's probably more accurate to say that Howie would rather pay him millions of dollars and let him walk than accept a 4th, and that's almost certainly because he knows that Indy took his pants down over the Wentz trade and he doesn't want a reputation as a sucker to go along with his reputation as a godawful talent spotter.

They’re also saying they want to try to put him in a package for Watson. Hopefully it’s just more of the same Eagles rumor spreading for clickbait, because there isn’t enough talent on this offense to be giving players away. For the record I don’t even think Watson would want the Eagles trading away a key offensive cog, plus draft capital to bring him in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that smacks as Howie realising he messed up and didn't get anything for one TE so he's going to try and get something for the other. Problem there is Goedert is much younger and is the long term answer for this team not Ertz. TEs play a big role in this league so why would you leave yourself with none in a year or two?

It said that the Vikings and Eagles 'had discussions'. It did not say who initiated the discussions. And given that the Vikings later did make a trade for a TE, it is more likely that the Vikings made phone calls to multiple teams, but they were not interested in Ertz, but rather Goedert from the Eagles... and they discussed that but wouldn't meet the Eagles' price.

The writer implied that the Eagles engaged in those discussions, and also implied the Eagles were also considering throwing him in a Watson deal.
