This season, the Philadelphia Eagles hope to win another Super Bowl. Might they be preparing to go with a former Eagles champion?
Ertz was able to join a contender this season after the Arizona Cardinals approved his request to be waived. The three-time Pro Bowler was able to pass waivers on Friday and will now be free to select where he wants to play next.
Three AFC contenders have already been connected to Ertz in reports. But according to ESPN analyst Adam Schefter, the Eagles are probably going to be among the teams interested in the tight end’s services.
Additionally, Ertz is only a few games away from being an Eagles franchise legend. To tie wide receiver Harold Carmichael for the franchise record of 589 receptions, he needs to make 11 catches.
Dallas Goedert is the Eagles’ primary tight end at the moment. Goedert was mentored by Ertz until 2021, when the former Super Bowl champion was dealt to the Cardinals.
Ertz is anticipated to recover before the regular season ends, despite the fact that he is currently struggling with a quad ailment he received in Week 7. Prior to the injury, he had 27 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown.
From 2016 to 2019, Ertz was the Eagles’ best receiver. He has nine seasons and 5,69 catches for 6,267 yards and 38 touchdowns with Philadelphia.
