Philadelphia, PA – May 2025
Just when it looked like Dallas Goedert might be out the door, the Eagles flipped the script—restructuring his deal to keep their star tight end in midnight green. But while that’s great news for Jalen Hurts, it’s suddenly terrible news for two new guys in the building: Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant.
Because now?
They’re fighting for one job. Maybe none.
💸 The Contract That Changed Everything
Goedert agreed to restructure his 2025 salary, taking it from $14 million down to $10 million, plus performance bonuses. That one move—done quietly, without fanfare—completely reshaped the Eagles’ tight end room.
This wasn’t a front-office masterstroke.
It was a death sentence for depth chart hopefuls.
🚨 The “Replacements” Who Might Never Get Their Shot
Let’s not forget: Philly signed both Granson (ex-Colts) and Bryant (ex-Browns) in free agency specifically because Goedert’s future was uncertain.
Now that he’s staying, both of them are teetering on the roster edge.
-
Granson had just 14 catches for 182 yards last year in Indy. Steady, but far from standout.
-
Bryant flashed early in Cleveland but saw his production steadily drop off the last two seasons.
With Goedert now locked in, TE2 is the ceiling for one of them. And the other? He might not even make it past camp.
🧠 The Eagles’ TE Depth Chart Just Got Brutal
-
Dallas Goedert – TE1, undisputed
-
Albert Okwuegbunam – A freak athlete waiting in the wings
-
Grant Calcaterra – Cheap, familiar with the system
-
Granson or Bryant – One survives. One doesn’t.
Add in Nick Sirianni’s tendency to run mostly 11 personnel (1 TE, 3 WRs), and there’s barely enough room for two tight ends, let alone four.
🔥 FanHub Final Word:
The Eagles brought in Granson and Bryant thinking they’d compete for Goedert’s job.
Now? They’re competing for each other’s job.
Welcome to Philly. Nothing is promised. Everything is earned.
