Zach Ertz on Cowherd

[Totally_Red]

Was effusive in his praise of Kyler, Kliff and the team culture. He is one happy camper or he deserves an Emmy for portraying one. He did say a good quarterback was more important than the most money at this point in his career.

Never having been “ rich” it seems to me I would take less money to be on a good team and a great organization.

It doesn’t mean I’d play for pennies but whether I’d get 7m and happy or 9m in a crappy situation I’d choose happy.

I know many will say “ It’s 2m dollars!” and I get it. However, many of these players have already made enough money to support them for the rest of their lives.

Tom Brady is a gazzilionaire but he took less money to keep talent around him.

Hopefully many of our players will think that way. Probably won’t. The owners are not cheap. They play under the parameters of a salary cap. But when you are playing for an owner who will privately fly a player to a game because of possible circumstances you have to respect that. That has to mean something to the players.

Polite way of saying I spent a year and a half with Jalen Hurt and I realize now that the QB is very important, if you don't have one or if he's a runner not a thrower, it really impacts you as a TE.

Definitely sounds like he wants to stay even if it means less money. Obviously if he gets offered a hell of a lot more to play elsewhere he may jump at that, but barring something like that I expect we will get him resigned.

There's also a non salary factor that shouldn't be dismissed. Playoff wins = more $$, teams that go deep = endorsement $$.

The point being, winning pays.

Don't forget the wife aspect. Being from this area and the Watts being here may be part of the decision to stay in Arizona

What a great midseason pickup.
We finally have an entertaining - dangerous offense - and a defense that is almost there . .
If I'm dreaming' . . don't wake me up.

This dude is such a stud. It’s been said a thousand times but Keim really nailed bringing in A+ leaders to the locker room.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Keim pulled another rabbit right out of his hat with this trade.

He's the GOAT GM at trades. Yeah, I typed it.

I live in Eagles country, and believe me, this guy meant so much to the success of that franchise both on and off the field. Eagles fans still love and respect him. All my Eagles friends are still rooting for him, especially if Philly isn’t involved. I’ve lived in PA for almost 30 years & he‘s one of the most beloved Eagles players I can remember. And they’re a tough fanbase to consistently please.

This is facts PA. The Texans game, I was "politely" told to shut the f up by some neighbors of my cousin who heard me cheering for Zach on the TD catch and run. I get at least 3-5 texts every game he does something good. It was a hurt piece for this city to see him leave.
