The Eagles have nearly lost TE Dallas Goedert to free agency more than once, but in 2026 he'll return to Philadelphia on another 1-year deal - this one worth $7 million, including $4.25 million signing bonus, according to ESPN. After pushing the tight end's void date twice, the two sides finally came to an agreement just before the Eagles were set to get a $20 million dead cap hit.

Getting Goedert to sign back also kicks over $20M in potential dead money into future years instead of hitting the 2026 salary cap. This was very important to Philly as well. pic.twitter.com/giO4jplwev

Goedert is coming off a career-high, franchise-best season, with 11 regular-season touchdowns. Through his eight years with the Eagles, the tight end has an 11.4 yard per catch average, a 61.5 percent success rate, and has routinely been instrumental to moving the ball when the offense stalled. He was such an important piece, quarterback Jalen Hurts personally called the TE after their Super Bowl win and helped persuade him to re-sign with Philadelphia in 2025.

His value was on full display despite the team not returning to the big game last season, and Goedert earned a bigger contract in 2026 as a result.

The Eagles had three of their four tight ends heading for free agency this offseason, but will now bring back the leader of the group. They've also re-signed Grant Calcaterra and brought in blocking TE Johnny Mundt to fill out the room. You'd have to expect the Eagles to also bring in a rookie to develop.
