CBS Sports: Eagles $57 million Super Bowl champion join the Chicago Bears.

There are more Dallas Goedert trade rumors than ever before, and Nick Sirianni, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, isn’t doing anything to stop them.

According to ESPN, Sirianni stated during the NFL’s annual meeting, “He’s on our football team right now.” Dallas Goedert has obviously had a significant impact on our lives. We’ll have to wait and see. He is an outstanding football player and captain. We would like to be able to bring back as many players as we can, but the NFL isn’t like that. You obviously want everyone back, but we’ll see what transpires and how.

After analyzing the possible trade environment for Philadelphia, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin proposed the Chicago Bears as an intriguing possible trading partner.

In his column from April 1, Benjamin stated, “Cole Kmet is fairly accomplished at tight end in the Windy City, but he’s also had bouts of inconsistency.” “Goedert might help make up for Keenan Allen’s passing. Additionally, he likely has support in the front office because Ian Cunningham, the assistant general manager, was employed by the Eagles at the time of Goedert’s draft selection.

The 30-year-old Goedert played 10 games last season and finished with 42 receptions for 496 yards and two touchdowns. However, his season was hampered by injuries, including a hamstring problem that kept him out of three games and a knee injury he suffered against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13 that put him on injured reserve. Nevertheless, Goedert made a strong comeback for the postseason and helped the Eagles win Super Bowl 59, recording 17 receptions for 215 yards and a touchdown over four playoff games, including a notable seven reception for 85 yards against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

Throughout his seven seasons with the Eagles, Goedert, a 6’5”, 256-pound veteran, has accumulated 349 grabs for 4,085 yards and 24 touchdowns. Ben Johnson, the new head coach of the Bears, could be interested in his potential to serve as a strong blocker and a dependable pass-catcher.

The Bears are trying to find another tight end to complement Cole Kmet.
Johnson’s system frequently uses 12-personnel to generate mismatches and includes a number of two-tight end setups. Johnson successfully used tight ends in both the passing and rushing games while he was with the Detroit Lions, and he will undoubtedly do so in Chicago.

Goedert’s signing would strengthen the Bears’ existing tight end group, which includes Cole Kmet and newcomer Durham Smythe. Even if Smythe has expertise and Kmet has demonstrated promise, adding Goedert would definitely improve the unit. In the forthcoming draft, the Bears are probably going to choose a young tight end, but they may add Goedert if he can be purchased for a fair price.

What is the trading worth of Goedert, then?

NFL analyst Josina Anderson wrote on X that “some league sources think the Eagles are holding out hope for at least a 4th-round pick for TE Dallas Goedert in a potential trade, even if said pick was from later years like 26′ or ’27.” But for some* clubs to continue talking, a lower selection and more of a pay adjustment are required. In any case, Goedert is a Super Bowl champion and one of the better individuals you’ll meet in the locker room and around the league.
