2024 Detroit Lions free agent profile: Why the Lions don’t need Zach Ertz

Cheers to another installment of the Detroit Lions free agent profiles series for the 2023-2024 season. Today, the discussion is the late free agent addition to the team in tight end Zach Ertz. Ertz never did see the playing field for the Lions, despite being signed in January and the tight end room only having two players active. Ertz was just on the Lions for one week, making him the player with the least time on the team in this series.

Let’s take a deeper look at the case for letting Ertz go.

Here’s a look at our previously written free agent profiles: WR Josh Reynolds, OG Graham Glasgow, OG Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OG Jonah Jackson, OT Dan Skipper.
