The Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens are three AFC contenders interested in Ertz, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. (The Eagles of Philadelphia are also interested in Ertz.) Travis Kelce is already an exceptional tight end for the Chiefs. However, that is pretty much all the Chiefs have in terms of a trustworthy pass catcher this season. This season, the Chiefs had the most dropped passes in the NFL. Following serious injuries, the Bills and Ravens both require a tight end. Dawson Knox, the Bills’ tight end, had wrist surgery and was placed on injured reserve. Mark Andrews, the Ravens’ tight end, has been placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.
