The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to bolster their team after not being too active during the beginning stages of free agency. The team has been focused on bringing back some players and getting the cap situation in a better spot as a result. Let’s take a closer look at who they were able to bring back and what it means for the team going forward.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing tight end Dallas Goedert to a one-year contract. At this time, the financials of the contract have not been disclosed. However, agreeing to this deal ahead of Monday makes the dead cap on Goedert’s contract a lot more manageable for the salary cap after pushing back the date for a new contract. If there were no deal today, more than $20 million would have been on the cap.
Goedert is returning for a ninth season with the franchise and played well in 2025. He finished the season with 60 receptions on 82 targets for 591 yards (9.9 yards per catch) with 11 touchdown receptions. The Philadelphia Eagles also re-signed Grant Calcaterra this offseason, so this helps make sure key pieces of the offense will remain with the team. This contract also does not have any impact on the Eagles’ future with wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Now, there is a pathway to move Brown if they decide that is the direction the team wants to go as the dead money is more manageable after June 1. It will be interesting to see if the Philadelphia Eagles are essentially done with free agency or if they are going to continue to look at adding players.
