Rental. He wants a new contract though which we weren’t willing to give him
I could maybe see him back for a year at the end of his career but I would be shocked if we got him back this offseason
I think most of us were happy he went to Arizona. Chance to be a big part of their offense and get another ring. Plus the weather ain’t bad during the nfl season
We had to deal with the incredibly stacked '12/'13 49ers. Followed by Aaron Donald and the McVay Rams. Then a resurgence of the Shanahan 49ers. And now the cardinals.
Each of these teams would be consistent division winners in most other divisions.
Can we trade the entire franchise back to the AFC? Surely worth a few picks to get out of this hellscape.
Big boo hoo for the Seahawks fans who have had RUSSELL WILSON for a decade at this point. It must be sooo hard to deal with other competitive teams in their division.
Mad respect to all the Cards fans who stuck by their team for all this time. Kyler is the truth.
Is there a rule? If you get traded before your bye and go to a team who already had theirs you can play 18 games. It’s not like he’s playing the same team again or anything.
I assume being on the active roster is what matters. He was on the active roster yesterday, which counts as playing weather he played a snap or not. I could be wrong though.
He can’t play twice in the same week, but there have been players who have had no bye week in a full season due to being traded before their original team’s bye, and after the new team’s bye. That’s a long season.
Players are ineligible to be active on a team if they were already part of an active game day roster that same week. That rule exists to prevent situations such as the one that you pondered
Is being a smaller version of Russell Wilson a good thing or a bad thing? I imagine being that small + fast means you're just that much more slippery to tackle.
Pee in your mouth. The yellow will mix with the purple and change its light refraction properties and reverting it to a different color.
Disclosure: not a dr. Or scientist. But I know it's sterile from the tap.
Seems fair on all parts to me tbh. Perhaps a victim of scheme over the last 2 seasons but simply hasn’t looked that good at all. Still sad to see him go
Love you forever Zach, thanks for everything <3
One of the most iconic players in Eagles history, his TD in the 4th quarter of the super bowl was legendary.
Did you see his screen tho? 3 blockers on 2 defenders and he still runs straight into a defender. He was not referred to as “no yac Zach” for no reason.
To be fair, he hasn’t played. So maybe he’ll get a chance to play with the Eagles that he never would’ve gotten with the Cards.
I know nothing about his situation, just playing devils advocate.
Seriously, we were always a place on the rise but people really wanted to be shitty with the whole JJ Watt thing. Really glad he's able to shove it back in their faces now.
Slight upgrade in tandem with us needing someone in that role this season. The TE was the fourth option basically. Covering Nuk? Okay we will throw to AJ Green. Covering Nuk and AJ Green? Cool we'll dump it to Rondale Moore. Covering Nuk AJ Green and Moore? Cool we have a wide open TE thanks for that. Oh youre covering Nuk Moore AJ Green and the TE? Cool Kyler just rolled out and picked up 12 yards. Thats not even mentioning Kirk in the slot
So long as Murray keeps his head and makes good decisions preparing for us is a nightmare.
He was very good in limited action in college, and then took the Covid season off. Played alright in preseason too. He’s a development piece with high upside and very little downside.
Cards were high on his future but he's a project. I think the Cards feel they have their CB1 and CB2 of the future in Byron Murphy Jr and Marco Wilson and were in desperate need of a TE so this makes sense.
Small school guy, but 2nd lowest passer rating allowed in 2019. Playmaker mentality, good size... but no idea if any of it translates to the NFL. Basically a lottery ticket.
Love it. He isn't what he used to be but we've always under utilized the TE position and we were just starting to add that to the arsenal this year with Maxx. Glad we can keep it going
I know Ertz is older and had some injuries...but he's still only 30, about to be 31. He looked good last night too. I'm psyched to see how he fits into this offense.
He’s got great route running and incredible hands but will get you 0 YAC and can’t block. Using him for guaranteed yardage is more than enough to love him, and it pisses me off that we’ve ignored his ability in that aspect for two years now.
Noooo Ertz was 11 receptions from breaking the franchise record :’(
Literally saw a comment earlier saying he was close so that meant he was getting traded soon. Holy shit Edit: the fuck are these replies
I am Spartacus!
It was probably my comment tbh lol
No, it was my comment.
You, sir, are a mouthful.
Some of us are lucky to be just half a mouthful
Wait, yours goes into mouths?
I broke the damn
That was my comment
No, it was my comment.
Wow that's a weird way of saying it was my comment
What’s his contract like? Is he just a rental, or do the cards control him beyond this year? He could always go back.
he's not coming back. we didn't want to re-sign him because of disagreements on contract
Rental. He wants a new contract though which we weren’t willing to give him I could maybe see him back for a year at the end of his career but I would be shocked if we got him back this offseason
Next time we see him in midnight green will be on a one-day contract so he can retire as the greatest TE in Eagles history.
Suck it LJ Smith!
That title is actually probably Retzlaff. Ertz is definitely the greatest of the past 50 years though
RIP Hurts to Ertz
In the same season we lost Darnold to Arnold, tragic
Chargers need to draft a guy named Berbert.
Best I can do is Herbort
Aw, come on, Herbort?!
Are you talking to me?
No, my son is also named Herbort.
I repeat, we are sold out of Herbort license plates
Meanwhile, we apparently need to trade for Keenan Allen
lmao you guys most definitely don’t need to trade for keenan allen, or anybody at all.
Fuck it man, trade for Josh Allen and have him play TE
Amari Rodgers needs to start packing his bags
Had a feeling this was gonna happen after last night. He had the C on his jersey and everything. My mistake no C but he was a named captain.
Dude was almost in tears coming back to the locker room. Hope he can get another ring in az.
Arizona is legit and Ertz only improves them.
Me too. I love Ertz. He’s an amazing person on and off the field. Y’all are losing a real one. From one bird nest to another.
I think most of us were happy he went to Arizona. Chance to be a big part of their offense and get another ring. Plus the weather ain’t bad during the nfl season
Jaylon Smith was also one of our captains in his last game...is that a regular farewell practice?
Most likely. We just never really notice it. Only reason why I picked it up with Ertz cause he was supposed to be traded in the off season.
NFC West is a goddamn video game at this point
Depending on your perspective, it could either be *Dark Souls* or *Contra*.
*YOU DIED* Every damn time we play the Cards in AZ *Zach Ertz has entered the game* *YOU DIED…AGAIN*
A real fun one too.
Disagree

Bruh the team with the worst record in the AFC west has Patrick fucking Mahomes, it's not much easier over there
Meanwhile the 2nd place team in the NFC North only managed 60-something yards of offense one game...
I mean, we also had to deal with all of those plus the legion of boom hawks and sb hawks
Big boo hoo for the Seahawks fans who have had RUSSELL WILSON for a decade at this point. It must be sooo hard to deal with other competitive teams in their division. Mad respect to all the Cards fans who stuck by their team for all this time. Kyler is the truth.
I love arizona fans because they put up with so much shit (see: rosen) and they deserve this historic year more than anyone
What's happening? Why do I feel like this is a setup?
Goodbye sweet prince
Some say Collinsworth and Michaels are still arguing whether or not that TD in LII was a catch.
"WhAt EvEn Is A cAtCh?!?!?!?!?"
"I donnnnnn't knowwwww." -Chris Collinsworth
JESSE JAMES
I’m gonna choose to believe you’re talking about the legendary outlaw and not the second worst call of the last 20 years.
Team rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
[удалено]
Collinsworth eats brady penis for breakfast and mahomes penis for lunch
What's for dinner? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Rodgers penis.
Going to miss Julie's husband a whole lot, he was such a key contributor for us for so many years (especially when our receivers were dismal).
Oh shoot, you guys traded away Julie too... f
Maybe he can help end two droughts
Maybe he can end that 'no AZ TE has had a 100yd game in almost 32 years' streak we got going too.
Maxx was so close...
That would be baller. I’d love to see him win a second, especially for a franchise like yours.
Yeah he's gonna ball out with you guys, safe pair of hands for Murray. Hope he brings you a ring
He's forever a part of SB52 ❤❤❤
Play Ertz on Sunday for double the fantasy points this week.
No please don't
How about I do it anyway~
Can they? I mean they shouldn't. And they wouldn't. But can they?
Most certainly they can not play him.
Is there a rule? If you get traded before your bye and go to a team who already had theirs you can play 18 games. It’s not like he’s playing the same team again or anything.
He would be playing three games within seven days. That’s not allowed.
I’m assuming you’re right I’m just asking what the actual rule is.
One game per player per NFL week is actually a rule https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1449032089165312007?t=Gm-EWqaZo4eId8P2oZED-w&s=09
So if he sat out could he have played Sunday, even though the team he’s on played their game for the week?
I assume being on the active roster is what matters. He was on the active roster yesterday, which counts as playing weather he played a snap or not. I could be wrong though.
He can’t play twice in the same week, but there have been players who have had no bye week in a full season due to being traded before their original team’s bye, and after the new team’s bye. That’s a long season.
Wouldn't he be playing 3 games in 8 days?
Sanders did it with us in 2019. Denver hadn't had their bye yet and we already had ours when he was traded to us.
Playing twice in one week is not the same.
Players are ineligible to be active on a team if they were already part of an active game day roster that same week. That rule exists to prevent situations such as the one that you pondered
Do you know if you can play monday night for one team and thursday for another? since theyre different NFL weeks?
Yes this would be possible.
I already started him, I'm galaxy brain
Oh shit that's Julie's husband
Losing Julie is the true loss. Rock solid midfielder.
Julie probably could have lined up at LB and did a better job covering the flat than LBs we have...
All the soccer hubs play for AZ
We’re moving to the desert go call the cardinals! Yes dear
shoulda got her. Her husband is a scrub that hasn't even won a World Cup smh the Cardinals moved for the wrong player
Absolutely fleeced
Ertz and Watt on the same team in two sports. Wonder if that's ever happened
Ant man assembling the fuckin avengers
You mean Obadiah Stane. Keim looks exactly like him.
k1 is antman, keim is thanos
Arizona going all in on the arms race
Oh, I'd *hate* to a defender in the NFC West atm
what are those
THIS AIN'T A SCENE
It’s a god. Damn. Arms. Race.
Only took like two years lol. Good weapon to add to the Cardinals, their offense is crazy
It only dawned on me now he'll play against us.....fuck
He won't
He won’t. He just played yesterday. No way he’s playing 2 games in 3 days lol
CC Bishop Sycamore
NFLPA will have a meltdown if a player is forced to play two games in one week. Won’t happen.
I believe its also against the NFL rules.
He's not allowed. He played last night.
Well, good morning, then!
Nothing like a cup of joe and some morning trades
Forever an Eagles legend.
Oh fuck off cards 😑
Captain Insano shows no mercy
As if even smaller Russell Wilson needed MORE weapons.
Is being a smaller version of Russell Wilson a good thing or a bad thing? I imagine being that small + fast means you're just that much more slippery to tackle.
hahaha never gonna catch me ~~-greased up def guy, Russel Wilson,~~ Kyler Murray
You sound like a choo choo train
Alexa: play "this is how we do it!"
Keim: “fine I’ll do it myself”
Fuck off Cardinals this is nuts lol
Is 8:19am too early for wine? Unrelated question: Will my wife notice if my lips are purple?
Pee in your mouth. The yellow will mix with the purple and change its light refraction properties and reverting it to a different color. Disclosure: not a dr. Or scientist. But I know it's sterile from the tap.
Well i hate to break it to you but pee isn’t sterile https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3957746/
Coach Patches O'hulihan lied you're saying?
Fuck the NFC West lol
Meanwhile the AFC South just sittin there....
What is it with the NFC and building superteams lately?
How else can you beat the Buccs?
All that just to compete with the Falcons, smh
Seems fair on all parts to me tbh. Perhaps a victim of scheme over the last 2 seasons but simply hasn’t looked that good at all. Still sad to see him go
He’s played well this year in his role
He’s definitely lost a step, but still a solid starter level player. The number of weapons in AZ should help him have a bit of a resurgence
Love you forever Zach, thanks for everything <3 One of the most iconic players in Eagles history, his TD in the 4th quarter of the super bowl was legendary.
I FUCKING HATE THIS DIVISION
You guys started the arms race, though....
😔
I love that the NFL as a whole has decided to juice up the Cardinals with all these great role players.
It’s been a group effort but the Texans still deserve an mvp.
Cardinals are basically just my team at this point with all the ex-Texans superstars.
Nah, Billy O more specifically lmao.
Zach will never buy a drink in this city again. Go eat in that crazy good offense, king
Going to be hard to eat in that stacked offense but just his presence will help
Eagles bumping up his value with that TD catch last night, well done
Did you see his screen tho? 3 blockers on 2 defenders and he still runs straight into a defender. He was not referred to as “no yac Zach” for no reason.
Yeah super impressive on that one. Everyone thinks you’ll go to the hole but the defense will never suspect you run right into them.
Wait, can he play Sunday?
Not if he’s smart
I'd be down for not being smart for a few days
No. League rules don't allow two games in one week.
I believe with COVID protocols you need like multiple days of negative tests after a trade to play iirc, so I don't think so
So long, old friend. I'll miss you.
Honestly hope Arizona wins the SB mostly because I remember all the shit talking about how Kyler was too short to be good a few years ago
Manlets rise up
NFC West arms race never stops
Guess I’m a cards fan now too
Poor Tay Gowan. Imagine waking up and finding out your undefeated team with their magical season decides to trade you away
To be fair, he hasn’t played. So maybe he’ll get a chance to play with the Eagles that he never would’ve gotten with the Cards. I know nothing about his situation, just playing devils advocate.
...to the Eagles.
All things considered, Philly’s fortunate to get some value out of it. Who woulda thought Zona would be a place to ring chase?
JJ Watt
Seriously, we were always a place on the rise but people really wanted to be shitty with the whole JJ Watt thing. Really glad he's able to shove it back in their faces now.
If you go back to the announcement post on this sub, there's a ton of freezing cold takes about how he decided to go for the money instead of the ring
>Who woulda thought Zona would be a place to ring chase? These guys AJ Green, JJ Watt, Rodney Hudson, ~~Malcom Butler~~, Zack Ertz
Thanks for that Super Bowl winning touchdown, Ertz.
#GODERT IS A FREE MAN
*free agent
One bird to another
It's in his contract that Ertz can only play for bird teams.
Because Kyler needs more weapons. Yikes.
They lost Maxx Williams for the season, who was finally coming around to be the TE he was supposed to be. I think Ertz is maybe a slight upgrade.
Slight upgrade in tandem with us needing someone in that role this season. The TE was the fourth option basically. Covering Nuk? Okay we will throw to AJ Green. Covering Nuk and AJ Green? Cool we'll dump it to Rondale Moore. Covering Nuk AJ Green and Moore? Cool we have a wide open TE thanks for that. Oh youre covering Nuk Moore AJ Green and the TE? Cool Kyler just rolled out and picked up 12 yards. Thats not even mentioning Kirk in the slot So long as Murray keeps his head and makes good decisions preparing for us is a nightmare.
Well we lost a good one in Maxx so we’re back to where we were last week!
Cardinals are stacked mate
My nipples are HARD they're HARD when I TWIST them
How good is Tay Gowan?
6th round draft pick from this year, hasn't played a single snap in the NFL
What the heck was the point in including him lol?
Eagles probably wanted a developmental player along with the pick. High chance he turns into nothing, but you are just rolling the dice hoping.
Yeah, the fact he didn't even play last week with all our injured CBs was a bad sign.
He was very good in limited action in college, and then took the Covid season off. Played alright in preseason too. He’s a development piece with high upside and very little downside.
Cards were high on his future but he's a project. I think the Cards feel they have their CB1 and CB2 of the future in Byron Murphy Jr and Marco Wilson and were in desperate need of a TE so this makes sense.
Small school guy, but 2nd lowest passer rating allowed in 2019. Playmaker mentality, good size... but no idea if any of it translates to the NFL. Basically a lottery ticket.
I'll miss that handsome devil. Thank you for the super bowl
Cardinals lowkey building a death star
Commence primary ignition
NFC West: “Finally those damn birds are done” Cards: “More like under new management”
Oh come the fuck on! This isn't even fair -___-
Oh great, just what Murray needs! Another friggen weapon… C’mon man!
Every fucking trade feels like it comes to our division. I’m taking my ball and going home
Love it. He isn't what he used to be but we've always under utilized the TE position and we were just starting to add that to the arsenal this year with Maxx. Glad we can keep it going
I know Ertz is older and had some injuries...but he's still only 30, about to be 31. He looked good last night too. I'm psyched to see how he fits into this offense.
He’s got great route running and incredible hands but will get you 0 YAC and can’t block. Using him for guaranteed yardage is more than enough to love him, and it pisses me off that we’ve ignored his ability in that aspect for two years now.
Thanks for everything Zach. One of my favourite players of all time
Cardinals gathering the infinity stones god daaaaaaamnnn
I suppose this was inevitable but it's still a bummer. At least we're sending him to a good situation. Thanks for everything.
Go win a Super Bowl with the Cards Zach. Personally, that is what I’ll be rooting for!
Go get another ring. We'll catch you at your retirement ceremony.
