“Multiple teams have called the Eagles about the possibility of trading for three-time Pro Bowl TE Zach Ertz, and a deal could happen in the coming days, according to two sources familiar with the talks.” - Michael Silver “No position over the past couple years has been more depleted for the New England Patriots than tight end.”
The Patriots could use veteran experience and at least one tight end who has a reputable career in the league. Because Bill Belichick has the fourth-most cap space and a decent amount of leverage, he should pursue Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz.
Ertz had a tough season last year after recording 36 catches for 335 yards and a touchdown in 11 games, but he’s 30-years-old and still has valuable time ahead of him. Prior to last season, Ertz hasn’t recorded less than 800 receiving yards and he’d become the veteran leadership the Patriots need — while potentially getting him at a lower cost.
Timing-wise it would be perfect — the Patriots could hit solidify the position so they can focus on other groups in free agency, while bringing an attractive name in to lure in free agents.” - Isaiah Houde, Patriots Wire
