Veteran tight end Zach Ertz could be returning to the NFC East and also reuniting with his former head coach.
Fox Sports reported Wednesday that the 33-year-old free agent is in talks with the Washington Commanders.
Ertz played his first eight-plus seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles in the same division. He was traded to the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 15, 2021 and played under head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who recently was hired as head coach Dan Quinn’s offensive coordinator in Washington.
Ertz caught 27 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown in seven starts with the Cardinals in 2023.
The three-time Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl LII champion has 709 catches for 7,434 yards and 46 TDs in 151 games (113 starts) with the Eagles and Cardinals. Philadelphia drafted him in the second round in 2013.
