With the continued emergence of tight end Dallas Goedert and a rough four-win 2020 season at the front of mind, it seemed certain the two parties would be headed for a divorce.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1515\">Main Line Health and UnitedHealthcare have an \u2018agreement in principle\u2019 on new contract<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But finding a landing spot for the three-time Pro Bowler was taking longer than originally anticipated. Expecting to be dealt before the preseason, Ertz was still on the roster when training camp arrived. So on a whim, the veteran tight end decided to dye his hair bleach blond.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI essentially hadn\u2019t been there all offseason. I had ankle surgery so I was missing OTAs anyway. And I showed up for training camp with blond hair,\u201d Ertz said on his former teammate Jason and Travis Kelce\u2019s <i>New Heights<\/i> podcast. \u201cI don\u2019t regret much about my time in Philly or this career, but the one thing I do regret is kind of that phase, showing up to training camp with blond hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The elder Kelce, who played alongside Ertz for over eight seasons, was as sure as anyone that the southern California native would get dealt before games started. He was so confident that he put his own head of hair on the line.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt was so obvious, unfortunately, that my time was probably coming to an end, that Jason was like, \u2018Bro, when are you getting traded? You\u2019re going to get traded any day now. If you\u2019re still on the team Week 1 then I\u2019ll dye my hair,\u2019\u201d Ertz recalled. \u201cI don\u2019t think I had anything to lose in this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And as the summer days rolled on, Ertz continued to wait for a trade that didn\u2019t materialize \u2014 at least not before the Eagles\u2019 Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons. So when the longtime teammates ran out onto the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, they were rocking a matching hairdo.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted Zach to have something to look forward to if he was still on the team, like, \u2018At least Jason dyed his hair to match,\u2019\u201d Kelce recalled. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Most importantly, Ertz\u2019s wife and former U.S. women\u2019s national team star Julie Ertz, who was also a guest on this week\u2019s episode, said she liked her husband\u2019s new look.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s really all that matters, honestly,\u201d Zach quipped.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>As for Kelce, Ertz referred to him as Guy Fieri as both the hosts and guests reacted to this image of a blond Kelce, that Jason called \u201cthe worst photo of me possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think Kylie [Kelce] liked your hair as much as I liked Zach\u2019s hair,\u201d Julie joked.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Ertz remembers his Philly days<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>While on with the Kelce brothers, Ertz was also asked to reflect on his time in Philly.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1513\">Engineer accused of using insider information on Three Mile Island nuclear plans to make $1.5 million<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhen you spend nine years somewhere, you\u2019re going to always have a natural affinity for the place,\u201d Ertz said. \u201cUnfortunately \u2026 I wasn\u2019t able to play my whole career [in Philadelphia].\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But what Ertz most appreciated from his time on the Eagles were his teammates. After getting drafted in 2013, Ertz quickly inserted himself into a young Eagles foundation designed to remain intact for years \u2014 one that also included Kelce, Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, and Lane Johnson.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe thing I look back on fondest is our core group of guys that we had together for a long period of time, with you, Lane, BG, Fletch, myself,\u201d Ertz said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy all the time for any of us. Like there were times we\u2019d get killed in the media or whatever it was, and I always knew you four always had my back regardless of what we were going [through]. And I hope you guys felt the same about me.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd it is a little emotional talking about \u2014 I don\u2019t know why \u2014 but just going through that, just being around the guys. No one is going to remember about how many yards or catches or starts we had, but I do remember the day-to-day, grinding, the stories of you kicking over a trash can because you didn\u2019t like the way a coach was treating someone else, or Lane hiding your helmet \u2014 those are the things I remember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Ertz\u2019s time in Philly came to an end in November 2021 when a long-awaited trade sent him to the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles\u2019 single-season receptions leader played two more seasons with the Cardinals and two with the Washington Commanders. But when Ertz, who is now a free agent, returned to the City of Brotherly Love with Washington, he couldn\u2019t get the Birds\u2019 fight song out of his head.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cEven when [I was] on the other sideline \u2026 It\u2019s still like subtly in the back of my mind,&#8221; Ertz admitted, \u201csinging it as I\u2019m over there watching.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What\u2019s next for Ertz?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Looking ahead, Ertz is aiming to suit up to play in his 14th NFL season, but he does not yet know where. Complicating the situation is a season-ending ACL tear that the 35-year-old suffered in a Week 14 shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But Ertz is pleased with the recovery progress he\u2019s made and expects to be ready near the start of the season.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a good spot. We\u2019re like five, almost six months now from surgery, so just training every day, doing everything I can to get back to where I was,\u201d Ertz said. \u201cIt\u2019s a long process. There\u2019s some long days, there\u2019s some long weeks, some long months \u2026 it\u2019s tough, but we\u2019re just trying to stack these days right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1511\">Joseph Woll and Simon Beno\u00eet are excited to be Flyers, and in Philly: \u2018It\u2019s just going to be magical\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach and Julie Ertz joined Jason and Travis Kelce on &quot;New Heights&quot; and revealed the bet that caused one of Jason&#8217;s most regrettable style choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1516,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
