Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will wear midnight green for the 2025 season. Philly’s starting TE is returning on a reduced, restructured contract to remain on the Super Bowl LIX Champions roster for 2025.
Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, “the team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft” and “he was in the loop.” Ultimately, a trade was never reached at the draft, which opened the door for Goedert to hang around the NovaCare Complex for a little longer.
Dallas Goedert restructures Eagles contract
The #Eagles had to allocate their money across the roster, so they entertained trade offers for Goedert, though they always kept the door open for his return. Coaches wanted him back. Goedert preferred to stay in Philly over other possible destinations that were presented. https://t.co/rxIOawjFM7

Goedert, 30, is in the final season of a four-year, $57 million extension signed with Philly in 2021. He was due $14M in cash from Philadelphia for the upcoming season, but according to ESPN’s Field Yates, Goedert will be playing on a reduced $10M salary with incentives to recoup a fraction of the lost wages.

Goedert has started 76 games and appeared in 93 contests over a seven-year career in Philly. /The 6-foot-4 TE has spent his entire NFL career in Philadelphia after being drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He replaced the still-active Eagles legend, Zach Ertz, who was traded to the Arizona Cardinals in October 2021, to clear a logjam at starting TE for Goedert.
The offensive piece from South Dakota State has collected 349 receptions, 4,085 yards, and 24 touchdowns in Philadelphia, including 42 catches, 496 yards, and two touchdowns last season. Goedert has 52 catches, 562 yards, and four touchdowns in 12 postseason contests for Philly.
The contract agreement returns Goedert to the Eagles’ TE room with Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson, Harrison Bryant, E.J. Jenkins, Cameron Latu, and Nick Muse.
