Overview
- Reporting on Monday, multiple outlets said a Philadelphia reunion with Zach Ertz is “on the table” after PHLY reporter EJ Smith cited league sources that the team is considering a return.
- Eagles general manager Howie Roseman confirmed he has spoken with Ertz, praised his career, and declined to announce any roster move or commitment.
- Ertz has been cleared for football activities and is approaching the roughly nine-month mark from a Dec. 7 ACL tear, a common milestone teams use when assessing post-ACL players.
- Philadelphia’s initial 53-man roster includes four tight ends—Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Eli Stowers, and E.J. Jenkins—and the club’s estimated cap room could make a low-cost Ertz signing feasible if medical checks and roster tweaks allow it.
- Ertz is a three-time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl contributor and a longtime Eagle whose experience would offer immediate receiving depth and mentorship for rookie Eli Stowers while carrying sentimental value for the franchise.
