DAMMIT! In bigger news... Chris Watson may be considering a comeback!!! Discuss.... That is great news - we can always use a punt catcher on the team. A great use of special teams resources. 😂 1

DJB Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) This is the final piece and now Ertz is being dealt. Right?!?!?! Who's checking the Pegulas plane right now?!? Edited June 12, 2021 by DJB

Someone on here had said cutting him released $3.2M and trading him was worth $4M. I see on salarysport Butler is listed as total $4.3M. But, yes, I agree, getting both Ertz and Nelson is very unlikely. $3M salary, half guaranteed. Oh, geez, you're talking about a trade here, not a cut. OK, my fault, all $3M will be saved. Roster bonus already paid. $1M of his signing bonus not yet accounted for, but must be. So, they'd save $3M. Sorry, my bone-headed mistake. $2.2M would be dead cap if they trade him, the roster bonus and the unamortized signing bonus. Cutting him would only save $1.5M. Trading him saves $3M plus whatever part of his workout bonus ($100K total) remained unpaid. Edited June 12, 2021 by Thurman#1

Ertz is toast and a shell of his former self. Eagles fans agree with that as well. Ertz had a very bad Wentz throwing to him last season

This is probably the most likely scenario. I mean Ertz started following Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen . I'm guessing this has been done for a while. I think Sweeney is going to Philly as part of the trade as well. I would try to keep Sweeney. Ertz will likely only be in Buffalo for a year

billsbackto81 Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Personally, I'd love to see Beane make a move for Ertz and Richard Sherman. Even if only for one year. Quick bandaids for positions of need.
Mat68 Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Beane is not a guy to ponder roster decissions in the media. Just like edge rusher. Edge rusher was a concern. Beane drafted a guy in Rd 1 and 2. One offseason he signed 6 olineman. Another he signed 2 wrs day 1 of FA. What I am saying is that if he was worried about it he would fix it. Imo he is trying to motivate Knox to hopefully take a step.

Bob in Mich Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 It seems we must have some offer on the table for Ertz at this point. Since a trade for him hasn’t happened, we can assume the Eagles want more than our offer. We can also assume the Eagles aren’t waiting on Buffalo, so no one else’s offer has been deemed good enough either. Sweetening the offer might get it done but we don’t really have a strong need either. I think I would be going the other way. If, hypothetically we have offered a 5th, I would make it clear that is only through a certain date, say July 1st for example. After that date, the offer becomes a 6th. The guy may be worth more but, then again, apparently not if no one is surpassing our offer. The market pretty much demonstrates a player’s worth at a given time. I guess I would like to have him but don’t see why we need to chase. The Eagles have to do something. We don’t really 1

Well he immediately used it to sign our first round pick as that happened immediately afterwards. He is also working on extensions for Tremaine and Josh - so he could roll it over. He could be waiting until camp cut downs as he has typically signed 1-2 veterans that get cut out of other camps. He could be looking at a couple of players. There are a bunch of options or he could be waiting on a trade. This rumor has been going on so long - I think there is less smoke/fire and more embers that certain FOs are trying to stoke. If the Bills really wanted Ertz - this would have gone down with the draft. Now it is just a waiting game - as I don’t think the Bills really want a trade - I think they are looking for a cut and sign.

I’m hoping Josina “Nostradamus” Anderson can add a when to the what. So far, zippo. Time will tell, but I think it’s safe to say we would like to get better at EVERY position.
