The Facts: The Cardinals and Ertz are mutually parting ways, with Arizona deciding to move forward with Trey McBride while giving Ertz the opportunity to finish out the season somewhere else, per sources. Ertz will go on waivers.

Diehards Line: Ertz has been on injured reserve with a quad injury since October 24. He had 27 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown before being sidelined. He hopes to sign with a contender and make a run at his second Super Bowl ring. Of course, he'll have to get through waivers, where a non-contender could disrupt his plans, first.
