Dallas Goedert will remain the Philadelphia Eagles’ top tight end for a very long time. The Eagles and Goedert agreed to a four-year contract extension on Friday, months before the 2018 second-round draft pick was set to become a free agent.
Goedert’s contract, according to NFL Network, was for $57 million, of which $35 million was guaranteed. With the agreement, Goedert will remain in Philadelphia until the 2025 season and will earn an average salary of $14.25 million, making him the third-best-paid tight end in football. The $35 million guarantee is also the third-largest sum of money ever granted to a tight end.
Goedert, a crucial component of the Eagles attack, rose to the top tight end position in Philadelphia after the Eagles traded impending free agent Zach Ertz after their Week 6 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since then, Goedert has developed into one of the greatest tight ends in the league, ranking tied for sixth among NFL tight ends in terms of receptions (14), yards (213), and yards per catch (14.25).
Since the offseason, Goedert had wanted to extend his deal with the Eagles, but negotiations came to a halt in September. The Eagles made sure they stayed dedicated to making Goedert a crucial part of their future, despite the tight end’s disappointment that an extension wouldn’t be completed by the start of the season.
