Overview
- The one-year pact keeps the 31-year-old tight end in Philadelphia for a ninth season after the team twice pushed back his contract void date to finish talks.
- By completing the deal before the void, Philadelphia prevented more than $20 million from accelerating onto the 2026 cap.
- Reported terms differ across outlets, with several citing about $7 million and others reporting $10 million plus up to $1 million in incentives.
- Cap relief from the move gives the Eagles more room to navigate other decisions, and reporters note it keeps a potential A. J. Brown trade feasible even as no new action on Brown has been reported.
- Goedert returns following career highs of 60 catches and 11 touchdowns in 2025, with the tight end room also featuring Johnny Mundt and re-signed Grant Calcaterra, and reports say he drew outside interest, including from Denver.
