Zach Ertz Nearly Got Traded from Eagles to Bills in 2021: 'It Was Almost a Done Deal'

After the Buffalo Bills selected tight end Dalton Kincaid in the 2023 NFL draft, it appeared the team fixed one its few offensive holes. However, they nearly filled that gap with an experienced playmaker two years ago.

Zach Ertz, a tight end for the Arizona Cardinals, recalled his experience on the trading block after receiving Frank Reich's 20th annual Call to Courage Award in Buffalo. Ertz said that Buffalo was interested in acquiring him from the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I was getting traded out of Philadelphia," Ertz said Saturday after accepting the 20th annual Call to Courage Award.
