Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com in Philadelphia says he believes the Eagles are on the verge of splitting with TE Dallas Goedert. "Teams around the league know Dallas Goedert is available in trade and the Eagles are willing to move him," Shorr-Parks posted Saturday. Goedert turned 30 in January and is heading into the final year of his contract. He's reportedly seeking an extension, but it doesn't sound like the Eagles want to extend.
Shorr-Parks: "I'm starting to believe Dallas Goedert has played his last game in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform."
Goedert has remained a productive player -- when healthy. He has also lost multiple games to injuries each of the past five seasons.
The TE is now set to count about $12 million against the 2025 cap in his age-30 season, while operating as a clear No. 3 target behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith -- in one of the league's most run-heavy offenses.
It's tough to imagine Philly getting much trade return for Goedert. But it's not hard to believe that they don't want to pay up to extend him.
Whether he gets traded or not, Goedert should remain a decent -- not high-end -- fantasy option through 2025. We'll see whether he succeeds in getting an extension beyond that.
If the Eagles do trade Goedert, then TE Grant Calcaterra would be the next man up on the current depth chart.
He heads into the final year of his rookie contract and played a full-time role when Goedert was out last season. Calcaterra only exceeded 4 targets in a game once and caught more than three passes in a game twice.
There's not a ton of upside to mine, but he could be a TE3 for best ball.
Of course, this year's rookie class also holds plenty of intriguing TE options. Don't be surprised if Philly grabs one -- even if Goedert remains on the roster.
Given Goedert's modest production, I'd hold off on stacking him with Jalen Hurts in current best ball drafting, at least while we see how the next week plays out.
His TE11 best ball ADP to date doesn't make Goedert a special value.
