ESPN: Eagles bring back the Super Bowl champion tight end after a $5.5 million pay cut.
Dallas Goedert, the tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, is unquestionably the best team member after this.
On May 7, Goedert and the Eagles reached an agreement on a significantly lower wage, which will allow him to return in 2025. With the possibility of earning an additional $1 million in incentives, his salary ranges from an estimated $14 million to $15.5 million in cash to $10 million.
On his official X account, ESPN’s Field Yates stated, “Dallas Goedert was due $14M in cash from the Eagles prior to the renegotiated deal.” “His new deal is for $10 million in cash with incentives to earn an additional $1 million.”
Since the Eagles’ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super LIX on February 9, the veteran Philadelphia mainstay has been the focus of several trade speculations.
NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo posted on his official X account, “The #Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as @Jeff_McLane stated.” During the draft, the organization received trade proposals for Goedert. He knew what was going on. made the noble decision to stay with the squad and reorganized in an attempt to bring it back.
After the Eagles decided not to choose a tight end with any of their ten selections in the 2025 NFL draft, it appeared like the path to Goedert’s comeback was much clearer.
Barstool Philly said on its official X account, “Dallas Goedert has a deal in place to stay in Philadelphia for another season.” “The first tight end is back.”
The Eagles kept their talks with Goedert under wraps.
The Eagles were deliberately—and wisely—ambiguous when it came to trade and contract talks involving Goedert. Nothing was revealed by them.
At the NFL owners meetings in April, Sirianni told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, “He’s on our football team right now.” Dallas Goedert has definitely had a significant impact on us. We’ll have to wait and see. He is an outstanding football player and captain. You want to be able to bring back as many players as you can, but the NFL isn’t like that. You obviously want everyone back, but we’ll see what transpires and how.
In other words, Goedert had grown too costly.
Goedert was entering the last season of a four-year, $57 million contract extension he signed in March 2021, and he turned 30 in January.
NFL insider Josina Anderson said on her official X account on March 9 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.” “However, for some teams to continue talking, a lower pick and more of a salary adjustment are required.”
