The Philadelphia Eagles and veteran tight end Dallas Goedert have agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension to keep the playmaker in Philadelphia, per Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
The agreement ensures that the long-time Eagles tight end and Super Bowl champion will return for a ninth season with the franchise. Goedert had seen his status with the team remain in limbo during the offseason, but this new deal provides clarity for both the player and the organization as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
Since being drafted by Philadelphia, Goedert has developed into one of the most consistent dual-threat tight ends in the NFL. His return bolsters an Eagles offense that relies heavily on his ability to contribute both as a primary receiving target and as a high-level blocker in the run game. This move keeps a key veteran leader in the locker room for at least one more year.
