Tight end Dallas Goedert reached agreement Sunday on a one-year deal to return to the Eagles for his ninth season in Philadelphia, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The deal comes after the Eagles and Goedert had agreed to push back the void date on his 2025 contract to Monday. If the Eagles had let Goedert’s contract expire without an agreement, the team would have taken a dead money charge of approximately $20.5 million this year.
Goedert, 31, was the subject of trade speculation last offseason as he entered the final year of a contract with the Eagles that was slated to pay him north of $14 million in 2025.
Ultimately, Goedert and the Eagles agreed to a reworked deal that paid him $10 million with a chance to earn an additional $1 million in incentives.
Goedert was a key part of Philadelphia’s passing attack last season, catching a career-best 60 passes for 591 yards. He was heavily featured in the red zone and shattered his previous high with 11 touchdowns.
Philadelphia, though, did not get consistent high-level blocking from its tight end group, and that included Goedert, who has generally been strong in that area over his career.
A second-round pick of the Eagles in 2018, Goedert has 409 catches for 4,676 yards and 35 scores over eight seasons.
