The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a restructured contract with tight end Dallas Goedert, ensuring the veteran remains in green for the 2025 season. The deal comes after months of trade speculation, with the Eagles exploring options to move Goedert during the offseason. Ultimately, both sides found common ground, with Goedert accepting a reduced $10 million salary for one year, plus incentives, down from his original $14.25 million.
Goedert, a second-round pick in 2018, has been a vital part of Philadelphia’s offense, recording 349 receptions for 4,085 yards and 24 touchdowns over seven seasons. Despite injuries limiting him to 10 games in 2024, he showed up in the postseason, leading the Eagles with 17 catches for 215 yards during their Super Bowl LIX run. His ability to block and create mismatches in the passing game makes him a go-to guy for Jalen Hurts’ offense.
The reworked deal is just a piece of the Eagles’ cost-cutting strategy after their championship season, balancing cap constraints with retaining talent. While Goedert’s long-term future remains uncertain as he approaches free agency in 2026, his decision to stay strengthens Philadelphia’s pursuit of back-to-back titles. With depth additions like Harrison Bryant and Kylen Granson, the Eagles maintain flexibility at the position, but Goedert’s production remains unmatched and still the top talent in the tight end room in Philly.
