Philadelphia, PA – April 24, 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert are nearing a contract extension, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal, set to be finalized before the 2025 NFL Draft, will keep Goedert in Philly.
The agreement quashes trade rumors linking Goedert to the Chiefs and Cowboys. Described as a “win-win,” it sees Goedert halving his salary, ensuring roster stability for the Super Bowl LIX champions while securing his future.
Goedert, 30, faces a $15.5 million cap hit in 2025, the final year of his four-year, $57 million contract. Despite injuries, he posted 42 receptions, 496 yards, and 2 touchdowns in 10 regular-season games.
His playoff performance—17 receptions, 215 yards, 1 touchdown—helped clinch the Super Bowl. The new deal, a three-year, $24 million extension (AAV $8 million), includes $14 million guaranteed, down from $14.25 million.
“Dallas is the heart of our offense,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “This deal keeps him where he belongs.” Goedert’s pay cut saves $7.5 million in 2025, bolstering the Eagles’ $60 million cap space.
The savings allow GM Howie Roseman to target draft prospects like Shemar Stewart or Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 32 or pursue a trade for Bryce Huff, enhancing Philly’s title defense.
“Philly’s home,” Goedert said. “I’m here to win more rings.” His PFF receiving grade of 78.6 and blocking fueled Saquon Barkley’s 2,005 rushing yards, cementing his value.
As the draft begins in Green Bay, Philly fans celebrate Goedert’s return. “This is a masterstroke,” NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said. The Eagles’ unity fuels their quest for another Super Bowl.
