The Eagles are essentially on a year-to-year basis with Goedert, as both sides continued to push back a void deadline so Goedert wouldn’t be released — and a massive dead cap hit was in play with that release. <\/p>\n
Goedert took less money to remain, despite having 11 receiving touchdowns last season. Would the Eagles and Goedert come to the same terms again this year? <\/p>\n
Goedert is making $7 million this year, all of which is guaranteed. This is in the Eagles range with all the massive contracts they have handed out, and will continue to with the young core up for extensions. <\/p>\n
If Goedert is okay with this money and doesn’t seek multiple years, why wouldn’t he return? <\/p>\n
What happens if Goedert gets hurt? <\/p>\n
The Eagles did draft a tight end in the second round of this year’s draft — Eli Stowers.<\/p>\n
While Stowers is the successor to Goedert<\/a>, he will need a big training camp to take the No. 2 job away from Johnny Mundt. The Eagles like Mundt’s blocking ability, which was a weakness at tight end last season. <\/p>\n Stowers is a good route runner and can get open in the middle of the field. That hasn’t been seen through the OTA practices and minicamp, but the Eagles are counting on him to contribute to the offense this year. There is going to be some “12 personnel.”<\/p>\n Mundt is the TE2, but he’ll be batting with Stowers for playing time behind Goedert. If Goedert does go down, Stowers may get that opportunity to see if he’s reday to be a TE1. <\/p>\n Why we ranked Goedert here<\/p>\n Goedert made the top-25 list based on a final vote tally from the three Eagles on SI voters: Publisher\/Editor Jeff Kerr, insider John McMullen, and writer Ed Kracz. Goedert finished with 40 points, on a scale where the lowest points wins.<\/p>\n Kerr put Goedert at 13th, while mcMullen had his 12th and Kracz 15th. <\/p>\n Here are where the other Eagles on the top-25 list landed so far. <\/p>\n No. 14 — Moro Ojomo<\/a> (46 points)<\/p>\n No. 15 Jalyx Hunt <\/a>(47 points)<\/p>\n No. 16 — Cam Jurgens <\/a>(49 points)<\/p>\n No. 17 — Tariq Woolen<\/a>\u00a0(49 points)<\/p>\n No. 18 — Nolan Smith\u00a0<\/a>(50 points)<\/p>\n No. 19 — Jihaad Campbell\u00a0<\/a>(53 points)<\/p>\n No. 20 — Tyler Steen<\/a>\u00a0(63 points)<\/p>\n No. 21 — Andrew Mukuba\u00a0<\/a>(65 points)<\/p>\n No. 22 — Braden Mann<\/a>\u00a0(65 points)<\/p>\n No. 23 — Makai Lemon<\/a>\u00a0(74 points)<\/p>\n No. 24 — Jake Elliott<\/a>\u00a0(77 points)<\/p>\n
