Overview
- Goedert said Tuesday he briefly tested free agency but signed a one-year contract worth $7 million to return to Philadelphia for the 2026 season.
- The signing keeps one of Jalen Hurts’ most trusted targets in place as the Eagles reshape their offense under new coordinator Sean Mannion.
- Philadelphia and Goedert previously adjusted void dates on his contract to buy time for negotiations and avoid a roughly $20.49 million dead-money charge.
- The Eagles added multiple tight ends in free agency and drafted second-rounder Eli Stowers, signaling added depth and a possible long-term successor to Goedert.
- Goedert arrives for a ninth straight season in Philly with strong production behind him, including a team-leading 11 touchdowns in 2025 and more than 4,000 career receiving yards.
