Estro Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Rochesterfan said: It is all postering - He has been going to be traded shortly now for weeks. I am not worried. Let it come to us. Do not give up picks and big salary for a guy that is not wanted on his current team. Let them cut him or let someone else take the trade - give us a better player at a lower salary. Correct. Howie Roseman, pulled the same stunt with Cason Wentz, which was about to be traded for 2 weeks for two 1st rounders. Everyone seems to know what's up in Philly, I'm not buying it. In this year with the cap crunch I really don't think Ertz's contract is tradeable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I’m sure Roseman doesn’t want Ertz going to the Colts for no compensation and you gotta think that’s where Ertz ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Only way Eagles get a 3rd is if Ertz is willing to restructure and take a pay cut for his new team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njoku is due over $6M in base salary this year........and probably hasn't yet done enough to be worth half of that $.........and will want to have a big year and hit free agency. A player like Ertz is more of a proven commodity and more likely to be amenable to a team friendly extension, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What guy from the Rams is that? Some of these agents have been working on the parameters of newly signed free agent deals with officials from teams other than the one their client is contractually obligated to since before the Super Bowl. If the Bills want to negotiate prospective terms with a players agent they just need to make a call..........no team or agent is recording those discussions to be submitted for tampering.

Nothing wrong with Josh, but he is/has typically used WRs as his primary pass catching target since college. I can't tell you how the TE were being used, but in 2016 Hollister (who is now with Seattle) caught about 1/4 of Allen's passing yards (Gentry had more than half). In 2017 I don't think Wyo had a passable TE on the roster. I personally felt that Ertz was "phoning it in" and not trying with Philly last year. I "get it" that players make career decisions when the team is losing, but I have concern that it becomes a habit, just like anything else a guy keeps doing. It's hard for me to buy that Daboll wouldn't be interested in TE routes. He was the freakin' TE coach in NE fergoshsakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - that is why I don’t believe people that say Daboll doesn’t like TEs. I think Josh has shown himself to be most comfortable when he has a variety of routes available and that happens best out of the spread with multiple WRs.
