Dallas Goedert, Eagles reportedly expected to agree to reworked contract that keeps the veteran tight end in Philly [UPDATE]

It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles will NOT be trading Dallas Goedert this offseason after all.

The Eagles and Goedert ā€œhave been in negotiations on a reworked contract that would keep the tight end in Philadelphia,ā€ according to a report from the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. He adds that talks between the two sides picked up after the 2025 NFL Draft.

This welcomed development comes after no shortage of trade rumors about the Eagles wanting to trade Goedert in part to save cash. Wanting to move on from Goedert at his current pay rate wasn’t totally inexplicable since the 30-year-old has struggled with injuries.

But with no clear replacement plan in place, trading Goedert ultimately seemed inadvisable. The Eagles failed to add a tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft and free agent signings Harrison Bryant and Kylen Granson are ideally backup quality players, not full-time starters.

It remains to be seen what Goedert’s new deal will look like. He’s currently signed through 2025. UPDATE: Goedert is reportedly taking a $4 million pay cut from $14 million to $10 million. Goedert can earn $1 million back through incentives.

Keeping him for at least one more year always seemed like the way to go. Goedert was really good in the playoffs en route to the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win.

The future of the tight end position in Philly is unsettled but that’s a problem for the 2026 Eagles.
