Rumors picked up late last week that the Eagles were open to trading Dallas Goedert this offseason with many agreeing that the tight end would probably be playing elsewhere in 2025. On the eve of the free agency legal tampering period, more details are emerging and the Eagles appear to still be holding out hope to get a fourth-round pick for Goedert.
There are league sources who believe the #Eagles are holding out hope for at least a 4th-round pick for TE Dallas Goedert in a potential trade, even if said pick was from later years like 26′ or ’27.
However, a lower pick & more of a salary adjustment is needed for some* teams… pic.twitter.com/VtXj599VlF

It’s interesting that Josina Anderson mentioned interested teams would not only need to offer a lower pick, but also that there would need to be some salary adjustment as well. It backs up assertions that the Eagles may only be willing to move on from Goedert this year because he’s asking for a new contract.
BGN’s Brandon Lee Gowton explained last week:
“The feeling here has been that the Eagles should ride it out for one more year while adding a potential Goedert successor (likely via the 2025 NFL Draft) to their roster this offseason. But perhaps it’s not that simple if Goedert is applying pressure for a new deal.”
It seems like most Eagles fans are interested in keeping Goedert in Philly, either by making him play under his current deal or at least re-working it. Ultimately, it may not be possible or in the team’s best interest to do that.
One thing’s for sure, the next few weeks should be an interesting ride as Howie Roseman and his staff navigate roster building with so many talented players.
