NFL Trade Rumors: Another Philadelphia Eagles Star Close to an Exit
Follow Us
The Philadelphia Eagles are currently figuring out their team for the next season. After a poor season, they got rid of Head Coach Doug Pederson.
Despite having won a Super Bowl just 3 years ago, Pederson’s poor performances over the course of the season led to his firing. And while Carson Wentz looks to be on his way out, he isn’t the only Philadelphia Eagles star looking to part ways with the franchise.
Reports emerged earlier this week that Eagles’ tight end Zach Ertz is still on the trading block for the franchise. He himself noted after the end of the regular season that he isn’t sure whether he would come back to the franchise.

The Eagles will be looking to offload Ertz to another team. Currently, Philadelphia’s front office is preoccupied with finding an ideal trade package for Carson Wentz.
The departure of Wentz could clear a great deal of cap space for Ertz to stay. However, given the arrival of new coach Nick Sirianni, the team is looking like they are ready to go into a rebuild for the next season.
