Cards trading for Zach Ertz

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I called this all off season.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Yeah the 5th will be our compensatory pick

Projected compensatory picks: One in Round 5; two in Round 7.

Key free-agent losses: Dan Arnold (Panthers), Angelo Blackson (Bears), Kenyan Drake (Raiders), Patrick Peterson (Vikings), Haason Reddick (Panthers).

Key free-agent additions: A.J. Green, Matt Prater.



Comp-pick analysis: The Reddick and Drake losses will be offset by the additions of Green and Prater. Peterson’s departure will earn the Cardinals a fifth-round pick while the losses of Arnold and Blackson will bring in seventh-round selections.

I so like the trade but I had hopes for Tay Gowan but have to give up something to get something.

 

[NittanyCard]

Upgrade over Maxx or even?

Giant upgrade in receiving he set the TE record a few years ago and downgrade in run blocking but still good.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I work with his aunt. Stoked about Ertz being a Cardinal, but don’t like that it cost Gowan.

 

[Shane]

Good to see Keim being proactive.

 

[DVontel]

Let’s get it!! Maybe an extension when Maxx comes back next year so we can have two stud TE’s?

Nah lol can’t have 2 slow TEs.

Where do you get $3.66m from? From what I can see his cap hit this year was $12.721m. Eagles have to swallow $4.221 of that leaving $8.5. With 11 games remaining that would be $5.5m.

I may well be wrong, probably am. Just wondering where you are seeing $3.5m.

I misread Sportrac. My bad
Thereshowed a base salary of 5.3 million. These already took into account the prorated portion. It only showed bonuses for the Eagles this season.

So not sure how they are pulling it off without a new deal.

Apparently we can split the difference. Looks like $4.5m cap hit.

Moral of the story, the salary cap isn't logical!

 

[The6]

Can he play Sunday

I'm thinking not. Maybe someone can verify this

Never has been and is there anyone who didnt actually already know that?

 

[Mainstreet]

Ertz is not eligible to play Sunday. It was a long shot but I was hoping there was a possibility.
