Read an article today about Zack Ertz’s comments about the eagles’ loss yesterday and it mentioned he had a very tradable contract and a down year due to injury. I know he’s a little older than Olsen was, but Ertz was once one of the elite TEs in the game and has only been in the league 7 years so he’s not THAT old. If we could get him on the cheap thanks to a down year, we should be able to get at least one good contract out of him and sure up our one skill position weak spot.  Anyone have info that would contradict this idea?

Ertz has slowed down a ton. Not sure what his contract looks like but I wouldn’t go out of my way to target him. If it’s a relatively cheap contract and cheap to acquire could be worth a shot but I wouldn’t expect much even if we did get him.

If our offense continues not to value the TE as an offensive weapon aside from blocking...don't see the need to get a big name TE.

This is likely because we don't have any that are deemed worthy of being valued as an offensive weapon.

If we are trading for a Philly TE, I'd take Dallas Goedert.  Really was wanting to draft him in 2018...badly.  He's still on the uptick where Ertz is winding down.

Ding ding ding. Our tight ends suck. Why would you choose them over CMC/Davis, Moore, Anderson and Samuel? We watched Ian get smashed by corners half his size preventing him from making a first down. I would avoid them at all costs as well.

He’s the only one worth drafting.

He (Pitts) is the best for sure. 

I would not use a 2nd on Freiermuth or Jordan as they are projected.

However, I would use a projected 4th on Charlie Kolar. He is  6'6" 255 lbs. with a big wing span, runs good routes, has good hands, and is a willing blocker.

If you want to wait until later I completely agree. I just mean rounds 1-2.

There wasn't much to offer value from there. Honestly just a bunch of JAGs that could find bench space on another team and we wouldn't miss them. 

Ertz might be worth a flier...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕

      Canales has never been part of big YAC offenses in the NFL.  That’s not his tree.  Not in Seattle, Tampa or here.  Every O he has been associated with basically has been bottom half of the league in YAC.  That’s what Bryce needs to happen though  2 very different things….and very much gets into why the middle school QB doesn’t fit
