As the Philadelphia Eagles aim to resolve their financial issues, speculation about possibly trading veteran tight end Dallas Goedert has been extensively talked about in the NFL community.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the NFL annual meetings in Florida this week, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman briefly spoke on those rumors but ultimately kept the possibility open.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“There’s no new information,” Roseman stated, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Clearly, Dallas has been an outstanding athlete and individual for us. …” The chances we had in free agency with Harrison Bryant and [Kylen] Granson were simply opportunities we believed benefited our football team. I am sure that Dallas is a distinctive player. “Essentially, that’s precisely where we find ourselves.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Roseman is famous for answering calls regarding trade discussions, so it\u2019s not surprising that he remained noncommittal during Goedert’s trade speculation.<\/p>\n
Goedert will begin the last year of his four-year, $57 million contract extension this autumn. He is set to count $11.8 million against the Eagles’ salary cap but has $23.8 million in dead money next year because of void years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the Eagles were to deal Goedert before June 1, they would incur $21.39 million in dead money this season. Dealing him after June 1 would lower it to $7.76 million in dead money, allowing the Eagles to save $4.05 million this year, with the remainder carried over to next year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Goedert, 30, wrapped up the 2024 season by catching 42 passes for 496 yards and scoring two touchdowns across 10 games. Although he has been dependable when fit, it is important to mention that he has been absent for 10 games in the past two seasons due to injuries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Certainly, losing Goedert would not be preferable, but the Eagles can rely on Grant Calcaterra, and the upcoming NFL draft offers plenty of tight end prospects to evaluate.<\/p>\n
