Eagles Face Goedert Contract Deadline
12 Mar
Summary
- Dallas Goedert's contract deadline extended to Friday.
- Eagles face a $20.5M dead cap hit if Goedert leaves.
- Goedert had career-highs in receptions and touchdowns.

The Philadelphia Eagles are in crucial negotiations with veteran tight end Dallas Goedert. His contract, originally set to void Tuesday, has had its deadline extended to Friday afternoon. This extension provides a narrow window for both parties to agree on a new deal.
If an agreement isn't reached, Goedert will become an unrestricted free agent, and the Eagles would incur a substantial $20.5 million dead cap charge for the current season. This charge would be avoided if an extension is signed, allowing the cap hit to remain spread out as per the existing agreement.
Goedert is coming off a season where he recorded career-highs of 60 receptions and 11 touchdowns, adding two more in the playoffs. The team has also re-signed Grant Calcaterra and added Johnny Mundt, but Goedert remains their primary target for the tight end position. Should negotiations fail, the Eagles might consider free agent David Njoku or draft prospects like Max Klare.
