Governor Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 4 minutes ago, The Governor said: From Free Agent Frenzy on @nflnetwork: The #Eagles are taking their time with TE Zach Ertz, as they wait for higher trade compensation. Also, Ertz isn't looking for a new contract as part of a deal. Willing to play out his final year. So Edmunds alone won’t get this deal done. Not surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Because he is 6'5 and has dreads makes him look cool I guess for some people) Guy can't tackle. And he has no instincts on where the play is going. Maybe he will improve this season. But building our defense around him has been a bad idea IMHO. Trade him for Ertz and plug someone else in at MLB.

With a cheaper contract the price may go up a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see you saying he doesn't deserve the pro bowl, but "lousy" is clearly a reach and if they were disenfranchised with him it is unlikely we would get less than a second rounder for him. He is considered a athletic, high ceiling LBer who has not quite arrived yet. You do not give that up for an old TE unless you are the Houston Texans. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 21 minutes ago, The Governor said: From Free Agent Frenzy on @nflnetwork: The #Eagles are taking their time with TE Zach Ertz, as they wait for higher trade compensation. Also, Ertz isn't looking for a new contract as part of a deal. Willing to play out his final year. A couple of things here: -Eagles may be taking their time to deal (or not deal) Ertz for what they see as proper compensation. BUT to get the value they want, whatever team trades for him will probably want a longer term deal and help their cap situation in order to give up what Philly is looking for. -Ertz may not need an extension for a trade, but whatever team gives up picks probably does. Given the cap situation this year and Ertz contract, I can’t see Ertz moving and/or Philly getting enough value back, without an extension/restructure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that instead of benching him in week 4 next season, you trade him and save yourself the humiliation that will ensue. I truly think he could be on the move. We just paid Milano. That tells us he likely isn’t part of the future anymore. They aren’t going to pay both of them. Edited March 16, 2021 by The Governor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) If it said the Eagles had given him permission to negotiate with teams. Maybe I'd buy it. If it were a verified account and not a NY Giants "beat reporter" from England with a third of the followers of the Buffalo Fanatics. Maybe. Keep in mind that EVERY year, people on Twitter hypothesize moves that make sense and post fake information hoping that they get lucky and can say they "broke" the story in hopes of being legitimized as a "source". Don't fall for it. Unless it comes from a verified reporter, it's meaningless. Edited March 16, 2021 by BillsFanForever19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people say things like you just said, they have no idea and are actually just speculating Just because you don’t know who he is doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an in. I told the world that KD was joining the warriors 2 days before he signed with them. No one believed me. Little did they know my best friend was KDs director of security and he sat in on the meeting.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 2 hours ago, The Jokeman said: The Bills could potentially be discussing a contract with anyone that due to be an UFA tomorrow, so it could be true yet I doubt this guy has any true knowledge. Zach Ertz is not due to be an UFA tomorrow. He is under contract with the Eagles through 2022. I don’t think we need a new thread to discuss every twitter dude’s rumor-Mongering. Ertz is not a free agent. The Bills are not gonna be in contract talks with him unless a trade is under discussion. There’s already a thread about that.
