More reaction

Zach Ertz’s final 4 games: 48 targets, 35 receptions, 450 yards (12.9 average), 1 TD. #Eagles

— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) January 3, 2016

Zach Ertz had 30 receptions over final 3 games, setting an #Eagles record for the most catches over a 3 game span.

— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) January 3, 2016

Two tight ends have had 450 yards over a four game span since 2013. Jimmy Graham and Zach Ertz.

— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) January 3, 2016

Zach Ertz is now slotted behind Jimmy Graham ($10M), Julius Thomas (9.2), Rob Gronkowski (9) and Charles Clay(7.6) in per-year $ for TEs.

Congrats to Eagles on Ertz deal. Player will be sick when he realizes how much money he left on table. The old market deals are irrelevant

— Joe Banner (@JoeBanner13) January 25, 2016

Locking Zach Ertz up early another clear indicator that Howie Roseman is large and in charge of entire #Eagles operation.

— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) January 25, 2016

Brent Celek is likely to be asked to take a pay cut, or it could be the end of his tenure in Philly.

— Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) January 25, 2016

Ertz is 9th among TEs in recs & 11th in yards, since 2013, while playing limited snaps since the previous regime was obsessed with blocking.
