Dallas Goedert, Eagles agree to push back deadline … again
The two sides are apparently still negotiating.
Dallas Goedert’s contract was originally set to void by the end of Tuesday, March 10 but that date was pushed back to Friday, March 13.
Now the two sides have agreed to delay the deadline even further to Monday, March 16.
This much according to a report from The Athletic’s Zach Berman.
If you’re hoping for Goedert to remain in Philly, the bad news is that they haven’t been able to work out a deal yet. The good news is that there’s more time for the two sides to do so. And one would think that Goedert and the team aren’t so far apart that they can’t possibly bridge the gap. Otherwise, why agree to the delays?
With Goedert’s situation up in the air, the Eagles currently have just Grant Calcaterra, Johnny Mundt, Cameron Latu, E.J. Jenkins, and Jaheim Bell under contract for the 2026 season. The team clearly needs a starting-caliber option and Goedert could be that for them. Meanwhile, the options for Goedert to sign elsewhere don’t seem so plentiful.
And so it seems like it’s in the best interest of both sides to get a deal done. But we’ll see what happens.
All the while, there’s thought that the delay with Goedert could be connected to the Eagles still figuring out the A.J. Brown situation. From Dianna Russini’s reporting on Friday:
Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman is juggling several salary-cap-related decisions, including the future of tight end Dallas Goedert. The void date on Goedert’s contract was pushed to [Friday, March 13 and then Monday, March 16], and clarity on Brown’s future could help shape several other roster decisions for the Eagles.
