He was traded in October 2021 from the Eagles to the Arizona Cardinals, where he played a total of 28 games when injuries limited him to 17 games in 2022 and 2023.
At his request, the cardinals released him in November 2023 and in January 2024 he signed with the practice team of Detroit Lions. He became a free agent and signed with Washington on March 6, 2024.
Ertz was reunited with Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, his head coach in Arizona.
“It was really a chance for me to just fall in love with the game and really just enjoy the process again and just be with people who know how to use me and allow me to be at my best,” Ertz said the Washington Post in January.
'It has just been so much fun. It has exceeded all my expectations. '
Reports of the new contract from ETZ come a few days after Veteran Middelste Linebacker Bobby Wagner corresponded to a new one -year -old deal in Washington.
Wagner was going to turn 35 this summer and led the commanders with 132 tackles during the regular season and was named his 10th Pro Bowl. He made 25 more during their play-off run as the center of a much improved defense.
However, reports suggest that defensive Tackle Jonathan Allen is released by the team prior to the 2025 season.
