The Arizona Cardinals acquired tight end Zach Ertz last season in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles after Maxx Williams went down with a season-ending knee injury. Ertz had been one of the league’s better tight ends but had his production decline and had reached his 30s.
After a productive 11 games with the Cardinals and re-signing to a three-year deal worth more than $31 million, he is still one of the league’s better players.
In ESPN’s rankings of the top 10 tight ends in the NFL, based on voting from players, coaches and executives, Ertz didn’t make the list but did get honorable mention.
