Commander Zach Ertz and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t last long in Philadelphia, with Ertz being traded away during Sirianni’s first year as coach of the Eagles. There may have been some lingering feelings that surfaced after Sunday’s game between Ertz’s current team and his old team.
Sirianni and Ertz got into an altercation during post-game handshakes and had to be separated by Eagles chief safety Dom DiSandro, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia researcher.
The report says that Ertz took exception to a comment Sirianni made about his performance in the game, and that Sirianni later apologized to Ertz via a Zoom call.
Ertz played for the Eagles from 2013 to 2021. His final year in Philadelphia was Sirianni’s first as head coach, and Ertz was traded to the Cardinals after playing six games for the Eagles that season. Neither Ertz nor Sirianni explained what the issue was between them.
DiSandro, better known as Big Dom, was sent off the sidelines last season after getting into a scuffle with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw. This time, it appears DiSandro was a peacekeeper, not an instigator.
