Fresh off a Super Bowl parade down Broad Street, the Philadelphia Eagles are already deep in the trenches of the 2025 offseason. While the Lombardi Trophy gleams in the facility, the front office knows that repeating as champions is a different beast entirely. The first major move of the quiet period is a big one, as veteran tight end Dallas Goedert agrees to a restructured deal to stay in Philly, while a fascinating battle for roster spots heats up at wide receiver.
Dallas Goedert, 30, will play the 2025 season on a restructured one-year deal worth $10 million, with an additional $1 million available in incentives.
Just a few weeks ago, rumors were swirling that Dallas Goedert could be a trade or cut candidate. Instead, the veteran tight end is betting on himself. Goedert agreed to a pay cut to remain in Philadelphia for the 2025 season, a move that provides both him and the team with crucial stability. Entering a contract year at age 30, Goedert is now highly motivated to stay healthy and deliver a top-tier season to earn a multi-year extension, following a path similar to the one former Eagle Josh Sweat successfully navigated. For the Eagles, it keeps a reliable, high-end target for their quarterback and a key piece of their championship offense in the building.
While the top of the wide receiver depth chart is solidified with the elite trio of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson, the competition for the remaining spots is wide open. A host of players are vying for what will likely be two or three roster positions. The contenders include intriguing prospects like the towering Johnny Wilson and versatile Ainias Smith, alongside players with special teams value like Avery Williams and veterans Terrace Marshall and Danny Gray. This battle will be one of the most compelling to watch in training camp, as the team looks to build a complete and versatile receiving corps.
With the 2025 schedule set and a key veteran in Dallas Goedert secured, all eyes now turn to late July. The intense battle for the final wide receiver spots and Goedert's performance in a pivotal contract year will be the dominant storylines to watch as training camp begins. The quest to repeat as Super Bowl champions doesn't start in September; it starts now, with the crucial roster decisions that will shape the team for the title defense.
