GETTOTHE50 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 If the bills are interested in trading for him, then I wonder what’s the hold up. The asking price, whether or not ertz wants to be here, or his contract. I mean he can’t be worth more than a 5th at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane pretty much said it after the KC playoff game that no team needed a game plan to stop Bills' tight ends. And Hollister doesnt really move the needle as of now. With Kyle Pitts joining the Falcons, I think Hayden Hurst, more than Zach Ertz, might be in play for the Bills.

I like the Hurst idea....cheaper....younger...but neither he nor Ertz is a great blocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Maybe they always planned to do the deal in June once they created cap space. This is probably the most likely scenario. I mean Ertz started following Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen . I'm guessing this has been done for a while. I think Sweeney is going to Philly as part of the trade as well.

Or, are we waiting for him to get cut due to his cost and we save some cap space. Either way, I trust our FO to be smart, and make us better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rk_Bills86 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 We clearly want another TE (upgrade if possible) just not at the current prices. If anyone is cut, i'd be shocked if we weren't one of the first to scoop up cast offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Being that they are always looking at every opportunity to up grade most every position, this is like saying it snows during the winter in western New York..., or one might say this is not actually news..., you choose... it’s just more click bait for a reporter that needs to get an article out.

mjt328 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The signs have been pointing all offseason that Brandon Beane wants to upgrade at the Tight End position. He said it himself. There have been multiple reports from media insiders, who have made strong statements about the Bills interest in trading for a Tight End. The restructure of Diggs' contract is also pretty strong evidence they are looking to make a signing or trade. Something is going to happen. Eventually. Maybe it's Zach Ertz. Maybe it will be someone else. My guess is that Beane made an insulting offer to the Eagles, and they are holding out as long as possible, hoping he caves and gives them something more. I would also suspect that all the leaks/rumors are coming from the other side, and not One Bills Drive. I could definitely see Philly telling reporters that Los Angeles is still interested, hoping that prompts Buffalo to increase their offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Even if we trade for Ertz...please be prepared for some dissapointment. Ertz is toast and a shell of his former self. Eagles fans agree with that as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 9 hours ago, DJB said: Absolutely. I just really wonder what the holdup is. Will be interesting to follow. The Iggles have the exact same cap numbers whether Ertz is traded or released. That means they’re just dragging this out to maximize value. Theoretically they could wait until cut down day to release him, but they won’t want him in training camp where if he were to get injured they’d be on the hook for his whole $8.5M salary. They won’t risk that, so the endgame will likely be just prior to the start of TC - which starts on 6/27. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 at this point i've almost lost interest if we get ertz or not, but the meme's and replies in this thread show me i'll never lose interest i the discussion.

I've read he's incredibly stubborn, so maybe he's just not budging, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Could also be holdups with contract restructure, amount of salary that the Eagles will retain, etc. Ertz is a clear upgrade at a position that they've stated they want to improve, so I have little doubt they are trying to get it done.
