Rumor Swirls: $10.7 Million Eagles Star on the Chopping Block – Dallas Goedert Fires Back with Bold TE1 Claim


Posted August 21, 2025

The Philadelphia Eagles are weathering a noisy offseason narrative. Earlier cap chatter suggested the team could move on from veteran tight end Dallas Goedert to create flexibility. Instead of letting speculation shape his future, Goedert has met the moment with a message aimed squarely at doubters and decision-makers.

Give me one more chance and I’ll be TE1 — own the seams, hammer the red zone, and that’s how we get back to the Super Bowl.

A Fan Favorite on the Hot Seat

Since arriving in Philadelphia, Goedert has been more than a safety valve — he’s been the engine of the middle of the field, a tough blocker in the run game, and a postseason tone-setter. That versatility is both priceless and polarizing: indispensable on Sundays, yet scrutinized when the spreadsheets come out. After a spring pay-cut/rework that lowered his 2025 number and guaranteed much of his money, the tight end remains a central piece — even as long-term questions linger beyond this season.

The TE1 Promise

Goedert’s pledge isn’t about flash — it’s about function. Be the chain-mover on third down. Win the seams. Finish in the red zone. In an offense reshaped with new pieces at wideout and fresh competition behind him on the depth chart, his mission is clear: keep drives alive and tilt January. 

What’s Next for the Eagles?

Cutting a cap veteran can free space, but it can also hollow out a core identity. Keeping Goedert is a bet on hidden yards and high-leverage downs — the contested catches that turn punts into points and possessions into momentum. For now, after the May rework, he’s in Philadelphia for 2025; what happens after that will be decided by production, health, and how far this offense climbs.
