Super Bowl winner Dallas Goedert makes decision on his Philadelphia Eagles future

Super Bowl winner Dallas Goedert makes decision on his Philadelphia Eagles future

The Philadelphia Eagles are retaining Dallas Goedert after the starting тιԍнт end reworked his contract to preserve salary cap space for the defending Super Bowl champions.

The move was first reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane, but has not been officially confirmed.

Goedert signed a four-year, $57 million extension in 2021, but as McLane is reporting, the тιԍнт end has reduced his 2025 compensation from $14.25 million to $10 million with another $1 million possible in incentives. 

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Eagles had multiple trade offers for Goedert during last month’s NFL Draft, but kept him in the loop and found a way to bring the 30-year-old South Dakota State product back for 2025.

The former second-round pick recorded 42 catches on 52 targets for 496 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his seventh season in Philadelphia. And he was even better in the playoffs, hauling in 17 of 20 pᴀsses thrown his way, while adding a touchdown catch in the Divisional Round win over the Green Bay Packers. 

The Eagles are bringing some major contributors back from their Super Bowl-winning defense.

The team picked up the fifth-year option on mᴀssive defensive tackle Jordan Davis last week, and previously retained linebacker Zack Baun on a three-year, $51 million deal. Baun finished fifth in the AP Defensive Player of the Year voting, earning a pair of first-place votes.

Following months of speculation, the Eagles finally visited the White House to meet with Donald Trump last week – even without some of their biggest stars.

But in spite of quarterback Jalen Hurts’ curious scheduling conflict, Trump took the high road with the Super Bowl MVP after gushing over Eagles running back and ‘handsome guy’ Saquon Barkley.

‘Complementing Saquon’s historic season was an incredible year for a star quarterback Jalen Hurts,’ Trump told the crowd at the White House on Monday. ‘He really played, he had a great season and a great game. Finished with 32 [combined pᴀssing and rushing] touchdowns on the year, turning in one stellar performance after another, terrific guy.’

Most of the Eagles roster traveled 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to toast their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, despite a number of prominent players, including Hurts, side stepping the invitation.

Wide receivers AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, as well as defensive stars like Jalen Carter, Brandon Graham, Darius Slay, Jordan Davis, Baun, Nakobe Dean and CJ Gardner-Johnson were also absent, according to reports.

The missing players were said to be absent due to ‘scheduling conflicts,’ according to NBC News’s Yamiche Alcindor.

The trip to the nation’s capital is traditional for all US sports teams who have clinched their respective championship but there had been doubt whether the NFL franchise would attend at all.

The Eagles did not visit Washington to celebrate victory at Super Bowl LII in 2018. Trump – then in his first term if office – canceled the event after it emerged that only a handful of players were planning to attend. It came amid his war with the NFL over protests during the national anthem.

The team did ultimately accept this year’s offer after it was extended by the White House, but owner Jeffrey Lurie had insisted every player would be given the choice of whether to attend or not: ‘Our culture is that these are optional things.’

Lurie, a well-known supporter of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 Presidential bid, is actually Trump’s neighbor in Palm Beach. But despite Lurie’s political leanings, Trump once again took the high road at the White House. 

‘He’s my neighbors, right?’ Trump asked. ‘And he’s a good neighbor.’
