I expected this to happen. I’m sure Philly would love to bring him back.
wonder how much money they save?

Isn't his salary guaranteed after the first week of the season?
They save money next year ($10M ish).
My fondest memory of Ertz, is the Seattle game in Seattle, 2 TDs with McCoy as the starting QB.
Weinfuss confirms this story.

Because he can choose where he goes or just retire?
Appreciate his contributions. Wish him the best!

He is a vested veteran and isn't subject to waivers.
So he instantly becomes a free agent and can sign wherever he wants.
Best Wishes Zach - it is too bad it didn't work out for both parties here
IMO thats great news-- we have TE already and he wasnt even playing. Now they get 10 mil freed up next year.

He was better than Todd Heap was for us.
That's all I got.

$5 million in additional dead money I think accelerates into this season and can't be rolled over. We save a little less than $8 million in salary and $2 million in roster bonus (which he was unlikely to make, anyway).
Good dude, good teammate. Steve Keim was an absolute brain-genius handing out that contact.

A handful of fairy tales from the story bag...
Why? He's a total liability at this point.
I called that ****
And I still think we'll eventually do the same with Budda

Do released players just get to choose teams or do they need to clear waivers first?

No waivers on veterans.

Probably had to do an injury settlement, right? Since he's technically still on IR????
