Cut loose by Arizona Arizona officially waived Ertz (quadricep) on Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Shortly after Ertz's former Cardinals teammate, retired defensive end J.J. Watt, announced via social media that Arizona and the tight end were parting ways, the team confirmed the transaction. The decision makes sense for both parties, as the 2-10 Cardinals are seemingly invested in second-year player Trey McBride as their tight end of the present and future, while the 32-year-old Ertz was eager to join a playoff-contending team that could have a role available for him. Before landing on injured reserve Oct. 24 with a strained quad and missing each of Arizona's last five games, Ertz compiled a 27-187-1 receiving line on 43 targets in seven appearances. Ertz is in the second season of a three-year, $31.65 million contract, so the expectation is that he'll clear waivers before signing elsewhere on a more team-friendly one-year deal.

Moving to IR The Cardinals are placing Ertz on injured reserve due to a strained quadriceps that he sustained during Sunday's 20-10 loss at Seattle, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact After logging at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps from Weeks 1-5, Ertz's workload was scaled back the last two games while second-year pro Trey McBride saw increased run. Ertz and McBride both handled 35 of 66 snaps Week 7, but the former notched less than 25 receiving yards (19 on three catches) for a third straight game. Ertz will miss at least the next four contests, which should allow McBride to take on a majority share of the TE reps in the Cardinals offense.

Rumor: Cowboys Trade Call on Cardinals TE Zach Ertz The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly talked to the Arizona Cardinals about a trade involving tight end Zach Ertz.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Notches two receptions Sunday Ertz had two catches (on five targets) for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Rams.
Impact Through the first five games of the season, Ertz easily paced Cardinals tight ends in terms of offensive snaps, but he played second fiddle in that regard to second-year pro Trey McBride in Week 6 (35-44). McBride also outproduced Ertz on the same number of targets on his way to a 4-62-0 line. It's unclear if the flip in scripts is a sign of things to come for the duo, but Ertz now has surpassed 25 receiving yards just two times on the campaign.
