Donnellon: The Zach Ertz equation has many variables
On Jan. 25, 2016, at a news conference at the Eagles' NovaCare complex in South Philadelphia, Eagles tight end Zach Ertz discussed the new five-year contract extension he signed with the team. The deal runs through the 2021 season.When the Eagles traded quarterback Sam Bradford in early September, it seemed to hit tight end Zach Ertz hard. Not as hard, say, as it would have if he hadn’t ol’eyd a chance to block Vontaze Burfict late in Sunday’s game against the Bengals, or if he had taken the previous week’s loss to Seattle a little harder than it appeared when he was captured on television immediately afterwards smiling and chatting with Seahawks players.
