The Eagles dominated the Detroit Lions on Sunday and Halloween night became even more enjoyable after Carson Wentz logged every snap for the Colts in a loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Week 8 of the NFL season offered another opportunity to track former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz and the Miami Dolphins as Philadelphia looks to snag three high first-round picks this spring.

When the Eagles traded Wentz in the offseason, the team received a conditional second-round rounder in 2022 that would become a first-round pick if the quarterback takes 75% of the Colts’ regular-season offensive snaps or 70% if they make the playoffs.

We’re tracking the quarterback snaps as Philadelphia marches towards a third first-round pick.

Even after trading Zach Ertz, the Eagles could still be sellers in the next six days.

Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman has a long history of making trade-deadline moves, acquiring Jay Ajayi, Golden Tate, and Genard Avery over the past four years.

We Philadelphia rebuilding and likely set to be sellers at the trade deadline and at season’s end, we’ve highlighted five players who should be deemed untouchable going forward.

Guys like Jason Kelce (possible retirement), Josh Sweat, and Darius Slay are worthy of making the list as well.

The Zach Ertz era is over in Philadelphia after the star tight end was traded to the Arizona Cardinals over the weekend.

Always a class act, Ertz took time to pen this thank you letter to Eagles fans, taking out the whole back page of the sports section in The Inquirer.

Ertz, who had played already last week for the Eagles in their 28-22 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was traded to the Cardinals Friday morning.

Ertz could have taken the weekend to process the trade, instead, he chose to fly to Phoenix, take his physical, and then travel with the team to Cleveland for the game so he can meet teammates and start learning the offense with the coaches.

The Cardinals got a really good one.

The Eagles traded tight end, Zach Ertz, to the Cardinals on Friday and the deal appears to have more with a change in offensive philosophy than it does contracts, or the Eagles tanking on the 2021 season.

During a Friday press conference, Roseman said it had become “pretty clear” going forward that Philadelphia’s offensive approach made it impossible to have” both Ertz and Dallas Goedert at tight end and that the Cardinals’ offer of rookie cornerback Tay Gowan and a draft pick was an “opportunity” for the Eagles to get better.

“I don’t view us as being sellers,” Roseman said. “I view us as still having an opportunity in the next 11 games to show what kind of team we are. And I think this was more about the opportunity to really put the pieces of the puzzle together for this team at that position and kind of moving forward. It’s not to give up on the season in any way, shape or form. I’m certainly not thinking about anything going south. But we’re thinking about the opportunity we have in front of us, starting with Vegas next week. And I know that will be a huge travel game for our fans and after we get through this weekend, we’ll be excited for that opportunity.”

Roseman reiterated that the Eagles haven’t tanked on the season despite a 2-4 start, and it’ll interesting to see what else pops up as the trade deadline approaches.
