Reports: Eagles bring back TE Dallas Goedert

The Eagles' active leader in receptions will be back in Philadelphia in 2026, as the team reportedly signed tight end Dallas Goedert on Sunday.

Goedert, 31, will be returning on a one-year, $7 million contract, per terms acquired by ESPN.

The team's active receptions leader with 409 over an eight-year run in Philadelphia, Goedert led the Eagles with 11 touchdown receptions while snatching 60 receptions for 591 yards a season ago.

The Eagles and Goedert had been working on a deal for several weeks, delaying his entrance into free agency in order to avoid a $20 million cap hit in dead money.

Philadelphia has been rumored to be shopping wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, and a deal with Goedert gives the team more flexibility to make a trade with Brown. A trade of Brown prior to June 1 would result in a cap hit of more than $40 million, though that number shrinks to about $20 million should a trade happen after that date.

Goedert agreed to a restructured deal a season ago, dropping his salary from $14 million to $10 million.

A former second-round pick, Goedert has amassed 4,676 receiving yard and 35 touchdowns over his career.
