Eagles TE Zach Ertz reports for training camp amid uncertainty surrounding his future

Eagles TE Zach Ertz reports for training camp amid uncertainty surrounding his future in Philadelphia

As the Eagles sit just jours away from the start of their first training camp practice under new head coach Nick Sirianni, one of their most polarizing stars showed up for work.

Despite reports of unhappiness and wanting to move on, tight end Zach Ertz reported for the start of training camp on time amid uncertainty about his future with the team. It was expected that Ertz would be traded or cut this offseason, but the moves never came to fruition and the record-setting pass catcher will avoid daily fines by rejoining his team.

Ertz’s future with the team heading up to the season opener is unknown, but it appears Nick Sirianni will have a full arsenal of weapons to start out his first season working with Jalen Hurts as his quarterback.

Best remaining players to complete Cardinals’ 2021 roster

After a solid wave of talent in the NFL Draft, the Cardinals are still looking to upgrade their roster in the league’s top division.

The highly anticipated NFL Draft is behind us with the Arizona Cardinals having added many quality players at positions of need. Still, for the team to reach their postseason goals, there are some remaining holes on the roster.

As of right now, the Cards have around $15 million in cap space to use before draft pick signings. They still have contracts to redo or terminate, such as those of receiver Andy Isabella and linebacker Devon Kennard. There is money to work with, particularly at a (hopefully) discounted free agent class this late into the offseason.

Here are some of the top options at Arizona’s on-paper positions of need that could be available this summer.


Zach Ertz trade rumors: Bills no longer interested due to Eagles high asking price

Zach Ertz trade rumors: Bills no longer interested due to Eagles high asking price

As Zach Ertz waits to find an NFL home, the Bills are moving on according to Marcel Louis-Jacques, who’s reporting that Buffalo is set to sign Jacob Hollister because of the Eagles’ high asking price.

Louis-Jacque said multiple sources told him the Eagles’ asking price for Ertz was “as high as a 3rd-round pick,” and it comes on the heels of Howie Roseman confirming that he’d only move on from the tight end if it made sense for Philadelphia.

Ertz is due $8.25 million in 2021 on the final year of a five-year, $42.5 million extension.

Philadelphia Eagles give TE Zach Ertz permission to seek a trade

With Zach Ertz wanting out of Philadelphia and the team not wanting to release him, the Eagles have given the tight end permission to seek a trade

The Zach Ertz era is over in Philadelphia and with Howie Roseman looking for compensation but unable to secure a deal, the Eagles have given the tight end permission to find a suitor and a landing spot.

Trading for TE Zach Ertz is an option for Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers could address the tight end position via trade.

Tight end Hunter Henry is on his way out after agreeing to terms with the Patriots on Tuesday.

With Henry gone, the Chargers will have a big void to fill at the tight end position. Before Henry found his new home, I listed out potential replacements via free agency and the draft.

However, another reasonable outlet that L.A. could resort to is trading for one, specifically Eagles TE Zach Ertz.

Philadelphia has been trying to trade Ertz for a while now and earlier this week it was reported that he was becoming impatient as he waited.

A second-round pick out of Stanford in 2013, Ertz earned three Pro Bowl appearances from 2017-19 and an All-Pro in 2018, while amassing an average of 93 receptions and almost 1,000 yards per season during that span.

In 2020, Ertz had the worst season of his career due to an offensive regression and a nagging ankle injury, logging just 36 catches for 335 yards and a touchdown.

But at only 30 years of age, Ertz still has some juice left in him to produce at a high level for a season or two.

What would Los Angeles have to give up in order to acquire him?

The Eagles have been unwilling to move off their asking price of a third- or fourth-round pick for Ertz, which has been the holdup. Going into 2021, he also has a base salary of $8.5 million, $4 million cheaper than what Henry earned.

Even though L.A. has two third-round picks in this year’s draft, a fourth-round selection is likely more reasonable. Philadelphia has two sixth-round picks and one of those could be included in the trade.

Overall, like Henry, Ertz is a well-rounded tight end, who would be a great influence for quarterback Justin Herbert, just like how he was for Carson Wentz during his early playing days.
