A three-time Pro Bowl tight end is hoping to sign with a contender. Zach Ertz is heading to the open market after the Cardinals granted his request to be released, as reported by former teammate and current CBS Sports NFL analyst JJ Watt.
Ertz, who has not played since he was placed on injured reserve after suffering a quad injury during Arizona’s loss to Seattle on Oct. 22, is hoping to sign with a contender where he can pursue his second Super Bowl ring, per Watt.
Ertz, 33, has caught 27 of 43 targets for 187 yards and one touchdown this season. While his numbers aren’t prolific, Ertz has been a consistent performer this season. He’s caught at least two passes in each game and caught six passes on three occasions.
Given the fact that the trade deadline has passed, teams that need help at tight end will surely leap at the chance to acquire Ertz, who helped the Eagles capture the franchise’s first Super Bowl win at the end of the 2017 season.
Here’s a ranking of the five contenders that Ertz could be a good fit for down the stretch.
1. Eagles
It makes the most…
