The Facts: The Cardinals are finalizing a three-year deal with three-time Pro Bowl TE Ertz, a source tells NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Ertz has thrived since arriving in Arizona, and now stays on a deal that keeps him among the NFL’s top 10 highest-paid tight ends at age 31.

Diehards Line: Ertz led the Cardinals’ tight end group with 56 catches, 574 receiving yards, and three touchdown in 11 games with Arizona after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles prior to Week 6. His receiving yards total was the most by a Cardinals tight end since Doug Marsh, who had 608 yards in 1983. His target total was most by a Cardinals tight end since Freddie Jones, who had 89 in 2003. And his reception total is tied with Hall of Famer Jackie Smith for the most in a single season by a tight end in franchise history. Staying in Arizona, assuming Kyler Murray is under center as expected, is the best-case scenario for Ertz.
