The Philadelphia Eagles will keep Dallas Goedert in the fold after reportedly reaching a one-year agreement that allows him to return for his ninth year with the organization.
According to NFL Networkâs Ian Rapoport on X, formerly Twitter, the deal ensures that one of the Eaglesâ most dependable offensive weapons remains in Philadelphia as the team prepares for another run in the NFC. Goedert has been a consistent part of the offense for several seasons and continues to provide reliability both as a receiver and blocker. (Source)
Philadelphia originally selected Goedert in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of South Dakota State. At the time, the move positioned him as the eventual successor to longtime Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz. Over time, that transition unfolded naturally as Goedert grew into a major role within the offense.
Throughout his career, consistency has been a defining trait. Goedert has surpassed 500 receiving yards in all but two seasons, regularly serving as a dependable target over the middle of the field while also contributing in the run game.
His most recent season was among the most productive of his career. Goedert recorded 60 receptions for 591 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns, delivering several key plays in critical situations. His ability to stretch the middle of the field and create mismatches in the red zone has made him a valuable component of Philadelphiaâs offensive scheme.
The Eagles officially transitioned from Ertz to Goedert during the 2021 season when general manager Howie Roseman traded Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals. Ertz had been a central figure in the franchiseâs first Super Bowl championship and earned three Pro Bowl selections during his time in Philadelphia.
Goedert stepped into that role and continued the positionâs strong legacy with the team. Now 31 years old, he finds himself at a similar stage of his career that Ertz was during the transition several years ago. Like Ertz, Goedert has already helped bring a Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia.
His place in the franchise record books continues to grow. Goedert currently ranks 14th in Eagles history with 4,676 receiving yards, while his 35 career receiving touchdowns rank 10th all time for the organization.

âTremendous player and person for the Philadelphia Eagles,â Roseman said. âJust a huge asset for our offense.â
Philadelphia had already shown its desire to keep Goedert in the past by restructuring his contract after trade interest surfaced during the 2025 NFL Draft. The decision paid off as the veteran tight end delivered another productive campaign.
Goedert also played a major role during the Eaglesâ postseason run two years ago. During that stretch, he caught 17 passes for 215 yards, leading the team in both categories despite sharing the offense with star wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The long-term outlook may be addressed again after the upcoming season, but the new agreement guarantees Goedert another opportunity to contribute to a team with championship aspirations.
For now, the Eagles retain a trusted offensive weapon and respected locker-room presence as they prepare for the next chapter of their pursuit of another Super Bowl.
