Philadelphia, PA – While other teams were wheeling and dealing during the NFL Draft, the Eagles made a bold choice: They said “No thanks” to several juicy trade offers and doubled down on one of their most underrated offensive weapons — tight end Dallas Goedert.
💰 According to Sportskeeda, Philly received multiple trade proposals for Goedert but instead restructured his contract, locking him in with a $10 million deal plus $1 million in performance incentives.
🤔 So… Is Goedert Really Worth It?
📌 Let’s break it down:
-
Blocking? Elite — especially in the infamous Tush Push package with Jalen Hurts.
-
Receiving? Reliable. Smooth hands, precise routes, and a favorite safety valve on 3rd down.
-
Leadership? Quiet but crucial — he knows the system, the locker room, and the mission.
Goedert may not be flashy like Kelce or Kittle, but he does exactly what Philly needs, week in, week out.
🧠 Why Did the Eagles Say No to the Picks?
-
✊ They didn’t just keep a player — they kept a core identity piece
-
🧮 The restructure relieves cap pressure while retaining roster strength
-
⚙️ Goedert is a schematic veteran in Nick Sirianni’s offense — replacing that isn’t plug-and-play
🔥 But Let’s Be Real…
Some fans argue:
-
Trading Goedert could’ve netted valuable draft capital
-
If he declines or gets injured, this contract might age poorly
It’s not just loyalty — it’s a bet on continuity over chaos.
📣 Eagles Fans, What’s Your Take?
🟢 “Keep Goedert – He’s glue to this offense”
🔴 “We should’ve cashed in and drafted young”
