Dallas Goedert Stays with Eagles After Contract Restructure, Aiming for Another Super Bowl Run

Dallas Goedert isn’t going anywhere.

After weeks of speculation and trade rumors swirling around the veteran tight end, the Philadelphia Eagles and Goedert have agreed to a restructured contract for the 2025 season. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo first reported the new deal on Wednesday, bringing clarity to a situation that had hovered in uncertainty since the draft.

The Eagles reportedly kept Goedert informed throughout the process as they fielded offers for the 30-year-old pass-catcher, who was selected in the second round of the 2018 draft. In the end, both sides found common ground—not through a trade, but through compromise.

Instead of preparing for life with a new team, learning a new system, and uprooting his family, Goedert chose stability. He reworked his deal to stay with the only NFL team he’s ever known—and the one that just hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl LIX.

The decision reflects what head coach Nick Sirianni told the team in the victorious locker room: “Let’s run it back.”

While general manager Howie Roseman kept his cards close during the draft, declining to commit to Goedert’s future by saying only, “Dallas is part of the team as we speak,” the outcome ultimately aligned with the team’s need for continuity. A reshaped contract gives Philadelphia some financial breathing room and ensures one of their most reliable offensive weapons remains in the fold.

Goedert has never put up numbers like Travis Kelce or George Kittle, but he’s consistently delivered when it matters most. His clutch performances throughout the Eagles’ Super Bowl run highlighted his value—particularly in critical red-zone situations and on third down, where his route running and sure hands made him a dependable target.

Now entering his eighth NFL season, Goedert will turn 31 in January. A strong 2025 campaign could position him for one last big payday in free agency. But for now, he’s betting on himself—and on the Eagles.

By restructuring rather than moving on, Goedert gains more than just another year in midnight green. He gets familiarity, a clear role in a balanced and potent offense, and a real shot at chasing another ring.

For the Eagles, the move signals that keeping the core intact—Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Goedert—is part of the plan for defending their title.

The business of football nearly sent Goedert packing. In the end, loyalty, timing, and a Super Bowl roster kept him home.
