Free-agent tight end Grant Calcaterra is returning to the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year deal, per @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
The 25-year-old tight end was set to hit the open market but will instead remain in Philadelphia, where he has spent the first two seasons of his professional career. Calcaterra was originally selected by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of SMU. Since joining the team, he has served as a depth piece in the offensive rotation and a consistent contributor on various special teams units.
Over the course of 30 career games with the Philadelphia Eagles, Calcaterra has recorded nine receptions for 120 yards. While his statistical production has been limited, his familiarity with the team's offensive system makes him a valuable asset behind veteran starter Dallas Goedert. The move helps stabilize the tight end room as the organization continues to shape its roster for the 2024 season.
Specific financial details regarding the one-year agreement have not yet been disclosed. Calcaterra, who famously returned to football at SMU after a brief retirement due to concussions during his time at Oklahoma, has proven to be a reliable member of the Eagles' roster since his arrival. His return ensures the team retains a known commodity at the position heading into the summer.
