Eagles trade Zach Ertz to Cardinals after emotional final night for TE in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Friday for NFL Network. The Cardinals confirmed the move minutes later.

The Eagles will receive rookie cornerback Tay Gowan and a 2022 fifth-round draft pick. Ertz played in the Eagles' 28-22 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night and was emotional as he exited the field. Eagles executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman told reporters on Friday that Ertz was aware it would be his last game with the Eagles.

Kyler Murray is the MVP as of now and the defense is much improved. They have a shot.

Big Stanford fan, but also a big 49er fan. This is not good news for 49ers fans. The stronger the Cardinals are, the harder it's gonna be for my Niners.

Yeah, he’s on the last year of his contract, but he’s Zach Ertz. All they got was a rookie who was a sixth-rounder and a fifth-round pick.
