Eagles May Select Shaq Leonard Over Former $31 Million Star: Insider
Eagles May Select Shaq Leonard Over Former
GettyAccording to reports, the Philadelphia Eagles have a higher chance of signing Zach Ertz than Shaq Leonard.
With Shaq Leonard and Zach Ertz, two former Pro Bowl players, being linked to the Philadelphia Eagles, the team’s rumors are intensifying.According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Eagles might be a better fit for Ertz than Leonard. In addition, Leonard has been strongly associated with the Dallas Cowboys.
In a piece titled “NFL Week 13 predictions, fantasy sleepers, key stats, buzz,” published on December 2, 2023, Fowler said, “We’re seeing a mini NFC East head-to-head with a few free agents this week.” Shaquille Leonard, a linebacker, is up for grabs and will probably choose between the Eagles and Cowboys this weekend.
Dallas is the greatest option, according to a few scouts I spoke with, since he can fill the Leighton Vander Esch role. The Eagles are expected to be involved in a reunion with Zach Ertz. In addition, Baltimore might be worth keeping an eye on with the injury to Mark Andrews.
The three-time Pro Bowl player, Leonard, visited both Dallas and Philadelphia, and it is anticipated that he will make an announcement soon. Ertz is a free agent after the Cardinals dismissed him.
The Cardinals had previously offered the seasoned tight end a three-year, $31.6 million contract. For the balance of the season, Ertz is anticipated to sign a far more cooperative contract with the organization.#
Eagles Rumors: To Sign Zach Ertz, Philly Is Fighting the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, both players are anticipated to make a decision “in the next 48 or so hours” before the Week 13 Sunday games. According to Eagles reports, the Bills, Chiefs, and Ravens are all teams that could pursue Ertz.
Two esteemed players have two significant free-agent choices ahead of them. Shaquille Leonard, a former Colts linebacker, and Zach Ertz, a former Cardinals tight end, are both free agents. According to sources, both players should find new homes within the next 48 hours or so, Schefter revealed on X in a message from December 3.
According to insiders, Leonard is thinking about the Cowboys and Eagles. If the Eagles don’t sign him, they might have to play against him the following Sunday when Philadelphia visits Dallas. The Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, and Eagles have all shown differing degrees of interest in tight end Zach Ertz.
After being selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, tight end Zach Ertz spent his first nine seasons as an Eagle. Despite making seven starts and totaling 27 receptions for 187 yards and a score, Ertz had little effect on the Cardinals this season. The Eagles would have insurance behind Dallas Goedert, who has been dealing with a forearm ailment, if they signed Eric Ertz.
Since making his two trips as a free agent, Leonard has been silent regarding his upcoming choice. According to Brian Baldinger of Audacy, an NFL source, Leonard is “leaning” toward signing with the Cowboys rather than the Eagles.
In an interview with 105.3 The Fan’s “GBag Nation” on November 30, Baldinger said, “I hear he’s leaning toward the Cowboys.””I know Eagles players who are actively seeking to sign him. They require him. Zach Cunningham was lost by them last week. All season long, they have been losing linebackers.
“I’ve heard he’s currently leaning toward the Cowboys.” With this, he’s a little measured. He wants to choose the best course of action.
