The key difference is that one of them is a franchise legend, picking this as his last. Philly’s other, though, may not have a choice.<\/p>\n
Potential final Eagles home opener for Dallas Goedert<\/p>\n
While nothing is set in stone, a one-year deal strongly suggests this could be the final home opener for veteran tight end Dallas Goedert. Week 1’s home opener will represent the ninth of Goedert’s career. Throw in the fact that the team tabbed Eli Stowers in the second round, and the signs seem to point to the reliable tight end embarking on his final run in Philly. Goedert has had a storied go of it suiting up for the Eagles, and he’s fresh off an impressive 11-touchdown campaign in 2025. <\/p>\n
Always the trusted security blanket of star quarterback Jalen Hurts, those who downplay his impact on this offense only serve to further fuel his motivation <\/a>to make this upcoming season a big one. <\/p>\n Perhaps General Manager Howie Roseman does once again bring Goedert back following this season. But with Stowers now waiting in the wings, this could be the swan song of home openers in Philly for Goedert. <\/p>\n A trip to pay dirt in this home opener for Goedert – who has yet to score a touchdown in home openers – would be poetic justice. <\/p>\n Eagles’ franchise pillar at right tackle Lane Johnson<\/p>\n Much has been made of this coming season likely being Lane Johnson’s final stand on the gridiron<\/a>, as the legendary right tackle could be emerging from the tunnel at the Linc to kick off the season for the final time. <\/p>\n In his 13-year career in Philadelphia, there has not been a more integral member or team leader in the trenches than #65. Johnson has played in 168 games for Philadelphia and earned numerous accolades, including trips to six Pro Bowls. <\/p>\n Of course, Goedert and Johnson have both won a pair of rings as Philadelphia Eagles, and for the veteran duo, a home opener that results in a decisive win would help launch a massive upcoming season for the pair. <\/p>\n
