The Philadelphia Eagles had all the answers on their way to winning Super Bowl LIX, but we have a few questions about their 2025 campaign.
What’s the deal with Dallas Goedert?
Actually he’s on the last year of a four-year, $57M deal that carries an $11M cap hit for 2025. Talented as he may be, that’s a lot of money for a 30-year-old tight end, especially one that’s missed multiple games in each of the last three seasons.
Goedert hasn’t played a full season since his rookie year, missing seven games in 2024, three games in 2023 and five games in 2022. When healthy, the 6-foot-5, 256-pound pass catcher is one of the best tight ends in football, but one the team gave permission to seek a trade, without success, this offseason.
So does that mean he’s coming back?
“Dallas is part of the team as we speak,” Eagles general manager Howie Roseman told reporters following the 2025 NFL Draft. “Obviously, as we go forward, we’re going to continue to address things on this team and right now nothing further.”
Hardly a ringing endorsement, although the team chose not to add another tight end in the draft. A post-June 1 trade could save Philadelphia $4M against the cap but it’s hard to believe the team wants to start next season with Grant Calcaterra, a sixth-round pick in 2022, as its starting tight end.
Who will be QB3?
Kyle McCord, a sixth-round pick in this year’s draft, threw 34 touchdowns and led the FBS with 4,779 yards for Syracuse last season. Ordinarily, numbers like that would bump a player up the depth chart, but not in Philadelphia where Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts reigns supreme.
