Efforts between Dallas Goedert and the Eagles to work out a new arrangement have proven successful. Team and player are in agreement on a one-year deal, as first reported by Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. 
The Eagles pushed back Goedert’s void date multiple times recently to keep buying time for negotiations. Monday afternoon represented the latest deadline on that front. With time to spare, a one-year contract agreement has now been reached.
Instead of reaching free agency for the first time in his career, Goedert will play a ninth season for the Eagles. GM Howie Roseman said at the Combine his desire was to finalize a re-signing in this case. With that having been accomplished, Philadelphia will avoid taking on $20.49MM in dead money for 2026.
Goedert has yet to play a full season in his career, but in 2025 he managed 15 appearances. During that time, the 31-year-old set a new personal mark with 60 catches and 11 touchdowns. A notable offensive role will no doubt await him once again with this new pact in hand. Goedert agreed to a pay cut last year, one in which he received $10MM. It will be interesting to see how this pact shakes out from a financial standpoint.
Garafolo notes Goedert had an outside market, which comes as no surprise given his strong 2025 showing. The former second-rounder would have represented a notable addition for any number of teams, but he will still be counted on as a key pass-catching presence for the Eagles at least one more time. Philadelphia will have a new offensive coordinator (Kellen Mond) for 2026 although plenty of stability on the roster is currently in place.
Of course, any potential A.J. Brown trade could change that. The Eagles’ situation with respect to Brown has not changed based on this Goedert news, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. A swap ending Brown’s Philadelphia tenure prior to June 1 would lead to major cap implications for the team, so Roseman could remain patient since the opening wave of free agency is in the books. Nevertheless, a trade involving the All-Pro wideout is viewed as inevitable at some point.
A Brown trade could elevate Goedert’s target share for 2026. Even if that does not prove to be the case, though, the latter should reprise his role as a productive secondary option in the passing game. The Eagles have already retained Grant Calcaterra while adding fellow tight end Johnny Mundt. Those two will offer depth next season, but Goedert will be counted on to lead the way at that position.
Great move by eagles
Too bad.
I guess I missed when Kellen Mond was hired as Offensive Coordinator. Guess Mannion didn’t work out.
No, it’s Mannion. I’m not sure Mond has given up the dream yet since he played in the UFL last year.
I was being facetious
It would be interesting though since it wouldn’t be the first time Mond came in for Mannion. In 2022, Cousins was ruled out for a game due to COVID-19. Mannion started it for the Vikings and briefly went out with an injury. Mond came in for that series and that was his only time on the field during an NFL regular season game.
Yes!!!!
Letting him walk would’ve been so unbelievably stupid.
Who is Kellen Mond ?
