The NFL’s rich became even richer on Friday morning.
Arizona, home of the undefeated Cardinals, struck a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles to send tight end Zach Ertz to Glendale.
Ertz, set to turn 31 in November, is one of the most accomplished tight ends in recent NFL history, tallying 6,267 yards on 579 receptions in a career that began in 2013. The separation from the Eagles has been an emotional one, as Ertz was part of their historic Super Bowl team in the 2017-18 season.
Some see Ertz’s move out west as a missed opportunity for the New York Jets.
