NFL Trade Rumors
Commanders TE Zach Ertz, who has plenty of NFL experience, was asked to weigh in on how the team has performed so far this season. He told reporters that he has hope things can be turned around before it’s too late.
“It’s just too many highs and lows,” Ertz said, via Nicki Jhabvala of TheAthletic.com. “Just haven’t executed consistently enough in all three phases in a game. Play a half really well and then don’t play the second half well. Play a game well in one phase, don’t play well in another.

“I know everybody’s counting on me — that’s my thrill,” Brown said, via Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. *“And then I come through. That makes me proud of myself. And I’m doing it over and over again. And then I got another opportunity a...
