Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert agreed to a $4.25 million pay cut last offseason in exchange for a fully guaranteed $10 million salary and up to $1 million in incentives. He had a strong 2025 campaign, setting career highs in receptions and receiving touchdowns, while playing the most regular-season games since 2018. Goedert hauled in 60 receptions on 82 targets for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns in 15 regular-season games, plus four catches for 33 yards and one touchdown in the playoffs.

With his contract voiding, the Eagles will carry a $20.49 million dead cap charge this offseason. The front office could minimize that charge by designating him as a post-June 1 release, which would spread the dead cap into the next offseason at $7.55 million in 2026 and $12.94 million in 2027. Also, the team could extend him, which could ultimately reduce his cap hit.
