How trading Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals impacts Philadelphia Eagles’ salary cap

The Eagles traded Zach Ertz to the Cardinals on Friday, ending an era and allowing the veteran tight end the chance to return to the playoffs.

The compensation for Philadelphia included cornerback Tay Gowan and a 2022 5th-round pick. Ertz helps an already loaded Cardinals offense diversify even more from a talent standpoint, while Dallas Goedert gets the chance to prove he’s the guy in Philadelphia.

Ertz’s move has salary cap implications as well.
