We’re looking at the instant analysis of the reworked contract that’ll keep Eagles TE Dallas Goedert in Philadelphia for the 2025 NFL season
As teams around the league make moves to compete with the Eagles, Philadelphia made a decision on Wednesday morning that should help maintain separation among the top teams in the NFC.
Hours after the Cowboys acquired George Pickens in a trade with the Steelers, Philadelphia agreed to keep Dallas Goedert with the Eagles for the final year of his deal on a reworked contract.
Goedert was due $14.25 million in 2025, with no money guaranteed entering the final year of his deal. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft, but he ultimately decided to run it back.
With the move now complete, we’re looking at the instant analysis of the reworked contract that’ll keep the Eagles’ tight end in Philadelphia for the 2025 NFL season.
Eagles follow the Josh Sweat approach
In the last off-season, Philadelphia reworked Sweat’s deal rather than trade the pass rusher, guaranteeing him $10 million in his final year as he played to earn another contract. One of the top tight ends on the planet, Goedert has positioned himself for a massive deal if he can remain healthy.
Eagles have tight end depth
With the prospects of a Goedert trade hovering over Philadelphia in March, Roseman signed free-agent tight ends Harrison Bryant and Kylen Granson to one-year contracts. Harrison has 33 career starts but made only three last season with the Raiders. Granson has 17 career starts, just six in 2024. Grant Calcaterra and the Eagles still have a talented tight end group.
Goedert’s health will be a topic of discussion
Goedert missed 17 games to injury over his last four seasons, but when healthy, he is a top-five performer at the position. During the postseason run to the Super Bowl, Goedert led the Eagles with 17 catches for 215 yards and a touchdown. Goedert’s run blocking also significantly affected the team’s dominance.
Eagles’ offense remains elite
With the move, Philadelphia has elite talent at every position except right guard. Jalen Hurts is a top-ten quarterback, Saquon Barkley is the best running back in the NFL, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are top-ten at their positions, Goedert is a top-five tight end, and the left tackle, left guard, center, and right tackle are either All-Pro, Pro Bowl, or both.
