Which Commanders player comes into our mind when we talk about the SB LII Champion, three-time Pro-Bowl, Ozzie Newsome Award, Unanimous All-American, and First-team All-Pac-12? Tight end Zach Ertz. He was picked up by the Eagles in the 2013 NFL drafts right after college. The 6’5” TE has over-achieved in football.

Before he played for the Washington Commanders, the former Stanford Cardinal football player played for nine years for the Eagles. Then two years for the Arizona Cardinals and then the Detroit Lions for the 2023 season. The Detroit season was a disaster for Ertz as an injury (quadriceps) washed out his one year. But on March 12, 2024, Zach Ertz did come back and signed a great deal with the Washington Commanders.

What is Zach Ertz’s contract with the Commanders and how long is the tenure?

The 34-year-old tight end Ertz has signed a $3,000,000 deal with the Washington Commanders. It includes a signing bonus of $750,000 along with $1,960,000 guarantee money. His base salary for the 2024 season is $1,210,000. Unfortunately, this player will stay in the team for one year only. That means, as soon as the season ends, the team has to decide if they want the Commanders No. 86 in their locker room or not. And what’s the deadline for this? March 13, 2025, after that, Zach will hit free agency again. 

But the way he has played this season must book his seat in the locker room. First up, he has played all the 19 games of the season. If we look at Zach Ertz’s stats, he has received 66 throws for 564 yards and was able to land 7 touchdowns for which he ranks 21st in the league. His most crucial and fantastic performance was the divisional game against the Lions. He scored a touchdown in the game and caught five of five throws for 28 yards. Great, right? But apart from this, you would be shocked to know Zach’s net worth

What is Zach Ertz’s net worth?

After playing for 12 years in the NFL, Zach Ertz has managed to accumulate approx. $74,082,571 of career earnings and his net worth sits at a pretty $15-20 million approximately. When he parted ways with the Eagles, Ertz’s earnings were at a $45,754,738 in 2021. But after signing a $31,650,000 contract of three years with the Cardinals, his net worth just took off. Before Zach landed in the Washington Commanders, his net worth was $71,082,571 in 2023. And now, he would earn three million dollars for playing one year with Jayden Daniels and Co.

Zach Ertz’s investments in firms and startups have not been revealed yet, but, reportedly he has an interest in investments. But as his play will flourish he would also get an added amount with the signed contract. Per Spotrac, “The overtime score put Ertz at six touchdown receptions, which triggered a $250,000 bonus in his one-year contract with Washington.” wasn’t that an impressive reward? Absolutely! Besides this, the 34-year-old has not announced his retirement yet. But for now, Zach Ertz must be fully focused on the playoffs.
