The Facts: The Eagles gave Ertz permission to seek a trade this offseason, but with no deal struck by the start of training camp, the 30-year-old took the practice field on Wednesday. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman told reporters he expects Ertz to be on the roster by the start of the season. "It's really good to see him (Ertz) out there," Roseman told reporters, adding he's "excited" to have Ertz present at camp.
Diehards Line:
While we haven't heard from Ertz himself on the matter yet, the eight-year veteran's presence alone avoids a hostile standoff. Ertz, the Eagles all-time reception leader for TEs, will have to compete with Dallas Goedert for snaps in 2021 coming off a disappointing season.
