The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert agreed to a new one-year deal after a complicated week of negotiations that included pushing back the void date on his contract twice. Had Goedert’s contract been voided, Philadelphia would have accrued a $20 million dead cap hit if the tight end had signed with another team.
With the move, the Eagles have three tight ends on the roster after re-signing Grant Calcaterra and signing Johnny Mundt. Prior to joining the Jaguars, Mundt spent three seasons with the Vikings. Last season, he caught nine passes (on 19 targets) for 111 yards across 16 regular-season games in 2025, when he served mostly as a run blocker and backup to Brenton Strange.
Goedert is 31 years old, and despite his overwhelming talents, the tight end has never had a 1,000-yard season or made the Pro Bowl. Still, Goedert is a warrior, and when he’s healthy, the talented pass catcher is one of the NFL’s top tight ends. In one of the healthiest seasons of his career, Goedert started 15 games, catching 60 passes for 591 yards and a career-high and Eagles franchise high 11 touchdown catches. Goedert had touchdowns in the playoff loss.
