Dallas Goedert, the Eagles' veteran tight end, chose to re-sign with Philadelphia on a one-year contract worth up to $7 million after testing the free agency market. Speaking to reporters, Goedert explained that while he had opportunities to join other teams, none compared to the prospect of remaining with the Eagles, where he has played since being drafted 49th overall in 2018. He emphasized that staying with one franchise for nine years would be special and that it would have taken something "drastic" to convince him to leave. In the 2025 season, Goedert posted career highs with 60 catches, 591 yards, and 11 touchdowns, ranking as the Eagles' third-leading receiver behind DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown. The Eagles have made significant roster changes this offseason, trading Brown to New England and acquiring rookie Makai Lemon, former Packers receiver Dontayvion Wicks, and veteran Hollywood Brown.
