Eagles News: Potential Zach Ertz trade destinations

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links …

Zach Ertz trade rumors: Bills, Chargers among six most logical landing spots for Eagles tight end – CBS Sports
Buffalo Bills. If we’re taking bets, they might be the front-runners. They reportedly tried to sign Rob Gronkowski as a sidekick and/or upgrade of Dawson Knox. They’re in search of another weapon for QB Josh Allen with John Brown out the door. And Ertz would likely welcome the chance to play for such an up-and-coming contender and quarterback. They also just sent backup TE Lee Smith to the Falcons, clearing the way for an addition.

Around the time of the Wentz deal last month, there was some chatter about Ertz potentially being included in the package, but nothing (obviously) came of it. Ertz has no shortage of allies in the building, including coach Frank Reich and Wentz, who is one of Ertz’s closest friends. Those are two powerful voices to have championing for you. There are some interesting dynamics at play with this one, though. As part of the Wentz deal, the Eagles received a conditional 2022 second-round pick from Indy that can turn into a first-rounder based largely on the percentage of snaps Wentz plays. Is it in Philadelphia’s interest to give the Colts another weapon when draft positioning is on the line and is tied to Indianapolis’ performance this season?

Los Angeles Chargers. After Henry left to sign with the Patriots, the Chargers are now a team in need of a tight end. And if they weren’t willing to dish out the $12 million APY for Henry, Ertz would be a cheaper option, at least for this year. He’d also become a safety blanket of sorts for second-year quarterback Justin Herbert. The Chargers have two 3rd-round picks this year, so perhaps they’d be more willing to give one up. They have 3-77, 3-97 and 4-118 in this year’s draft. Maybe the Eagles could get one of those 3rd-round picks by offering up one of their later-round picks to sweeten the deal. The Eagles have two 6th-rounders and one 7th.

NFL Trade Rumors: Eagles can’t be discounted as strong suitor for Deshaun Watson – BGN
The Eagles’ current grim outlook would improve quickly with Watson in the fold. With one big move, Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman could win back a lot of fans that seemingly feel more apathetic than ever about the team. While it can be fun to dream, I’d advise against holding your breath on this one. I just don’t think it’s very realistic. There’s part of me that wonders if the Eagles wanted La Canfora (who is said to be tight with Roseman) to float this rumor out there to generate some buzz in an otherwise dead Eagles news cycle. But, hey, I wouldn’t mind being wrong about this one.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts — The Eagles traded away Carson Wentz before owner Jeff Lurie issued a reported mandate that Philadelphia give Hurts the 2021 season for a full-year evaluation. That would entail resisting drafting a quarterback at No. 6 overall and/or trading down to…
