He’s still plugged into the team and Philly, where his family’s foundation still does much of its community service, and won’t rule out a return.

“I think everyone knows how I feel about that place, that city, in particular,” Ertz said. “I loved it, loved it. And I wouldn’t close that door either by any means.

I think it’s worth the conversation, for sure. ” Only four tight ends in NFL history have more than his 825 career receptions. But he said surpassing Harold Carmichael’s Eagles mark of 589 catches is “definitely not lost on me.

” “I would love him to get it,” Lurie said, “but not at the expense of what we need to do. ” Whether Ertz gets a chance to break the record or not, he will eventually be granted the franchise’s greatest honor as a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame. “I love Zach and his legacy is phenomenal and his personhood in Philadelphia is incredible,” Lurie said.
