Dallas Goedert excited about being an Eagle in 2025, "not too worried" about the future
Tight end Dallas Goedert's return to the Eagles for the 2025 season remained up in the air until he agreed to a revised deal with the team earlier this month. Goedert agreed to a pay cut that guaranteed his $10 million salary and offers more money in incentives. On Wednesday, Goedert said 'there were definitely days that were filled with emotion' before the revised deal came together and that he's now trying to enjoy the moment rather than fret about what will happen when his deal is up at the end of the season. 'I'm really excited about this year,' Goedert said, via 'Obviously, I'd love to play my entire career in Philadelphia, but I'm not too worried about [the future]. I'm excited to see what happens this year. Excited to put up a really good year, have a successful year with an incredible team and let my agent handle his job and talks after the season. . . . I'm super stoked to be back here. Got a lot of love for a lot of people in this building. Got a lot of love for Philadelphia. So super glad to be back. And we've got high expectations and I want to help us get back to where we were last year.' Goedert missed time in the regular season last year due to injury, but returned to lead the team in receptions and receiving yards during their postseason run to a Super Bowl title. Goedert also performed well in the playoffs on the way to the NFC title in 2022 and another strong finish should help his chances of remaining in Philly for the long run.

They lost some key pieces from last year's Super Bowl run and were widely expected to trade another. Dallas Goedert was mentioned in trade rumors all offseason long. At one point, it seemed extremely likely that he would be on his way out of town. However, he's still on the roster with OTA's getting underway. It's a bit of a surprise, but Goedert has been an important piece for the offense over the years. Bringing him back always made sense if they could afford to do it. Now, the tight end is speaking out about his experience during the offseason.

"Just kind of sat on the couch and stared at the TV blankly like, 'What's going to happen?' I've been (through) seven offseasons, and this is the first time I had to deal with it, so I'm pretty lucky. But it was an interesting feeling for sure." Not only did he share his feelings while the trade rumors swirled around him, he also spoke out with honesty about his contract situation. "I've been very blessed to sign a good contract here (in 2021)," he said. "I wouldn't want to play for less, you know what I mean? I feel like I know my value. I feel like the Eagles know my value. And just finding something that I was OK with, a number that I felt excited about, that my time was worth it. There's a threshold that I felt like I deserved. And we were able to get there." Last season, Goedert played in just 10 games. He caught 42 passes for 496 yards and two touchdowns. In 2023, he recorded 59 receptions for 592 yards and three scores.

He'll be valuable for Jalen Hurts to have in 2025 as well. As the Eagles prepare to try and defend their championship from last season, having as many hands on deck as they can will be important. During the offseason, they lost pieces like defensive lineman Milton Williams, defensive end Josh Sweat, cornerback Darius Slay, cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, and linebacker Oren Burks. Hopefully, Goedert can prove Philadelphia right for keeping him in town. It was a stressful offseason, but now it's time to get back to work.

Main Reason Dallas Goedert Irreplaceable for Eagles
Winning back-to-back Super Bowls is a feat rarely achieved in the NFL. For the Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their Super Bowl LIX victory that crushed the Kansas City Chiefs' dreams of a historic three-peat, defending the title will demand both elite talent and a relentless championship mindset. That winning mentality is precisely why the Eagles decided to keep veteran tight end Dallas Goedert on a team-friendly deal, despite exploring trade options. Advertisement Goedert, drafted 49th overall in 2018, has been a steady presence in Philadelphia's offense for years. While his 2024 regular-season stats — 42 receptions, 496 yards, and two touchdowns — may seem underwhelming, his postseason performance was anything but. Goedert rose to the occasion when it mattered most, leading the Eagles with 17 receptions and 215 receiving yards during their Super Bowl run. For an organization focused on maintaining their championship DNA, Goedert's retention was more than a football decision — it was a culture decision. The 30-year-old tight end has evolved into a locker room leader and a trusted target for quarterback Jalen Hurts, particularly in high-pressure moments. 'His playoff impact was undeniable,' one Eagles source said. 'We know what Dallas brings on and off the field, and that's not something you can easily replace.' Goedert's willingness to accept a team-friendly deal further solidifies his commitment to Philadelphia's Super Bowl pursuit. It's a mutually beneficial move — the Eagles keep a reliable, battle-tested veteran, and Goedert continues his career with the only team he's ever known, now with a Super Bowl ring and a chance to earn another. Advertisement For a franchise determined to repeat as champions holding onto players with proven playoff pedigree could prove invaluable. And for Goedert, the decision to stay means more than just stats or contract numbers. It's about finishing what they started and bringing another Lombardi Trophy to the city of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Eagles Restructure Dallas Goedert's Contract for 2025 Season
Philadelphia Eagles Restructure Dallas Goedert's Contract for 2025 Season 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.
