A second-round pick in the 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025-nfl-draft-profiles\/\" target=\"_self\">NFL Draft<\/a>, the South Dakota State product has recorded just north of 4,000 receiving yards in his career but probably could have more in a different environment.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sources: The <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Eagles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Eagles<\/a> have been open to trade talks involving TE Dallas Goedert and DE Bryce Huff. <\/p>\n<p>Goedert is in the final year of his deal, while Huff \u2014 one of last year\u2019s big free-agent signings \u2014 has seen limited playing time due to Philly\u2019s deep rotation. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HfxyyWweL3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/HfxyyWweL3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Schultz_Report\/status\/1900596561148514535?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 14, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of the few downsides to having a consistently stacked roster is that some playmakers don&#8217;t see the targets they deserve. Goedert began his career buried behind Zach Ertz on the tight end depth chart and spent the past few seasons behind <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/04\/16\/a-j-brown-trade-devonta-smith-extension\/\" target=\"_self\">star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith<\/a> in the pecking order. While nobody will confuse him with prime Rob Gronkowski, he&#8217;s an above-average starter who should draw interest throughout the league.<\/p>\n<p>Now entering the final year of his contract, General Manager Howie Roseman wants to get a decent return for a player he probably can&#8217;t afford to re-sign. If the Eagles go through with the trade, don&#8217;t be surprised if Dallas Goedert lands with one of these four teams.<\/p>\n<h2>REPORT: Eagles Listening to Dallas Goedert Trade Offers<\/h2>\n<h3>Next Teams<\/h3>\n<h4>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n<p>The Los Angeles Chargers desperately need a competent tight end. Entering the offseason with over $66 million in cap space, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/01\/16\/chris-godwin-chargers-jim-harbaugh-free-agency\/\" target=\"_self\">Jim Harbaugh&#8217;s squad<\/a> had the opportunity to upgrade this glaring weakness. Instead, they prioritized the defense and have not brought in a tight end. Fortunately, the season doesn&#8217;t start until September, and they should call the Eagles and try to trade for Dallas Goedert. Goedert excels as both a blocker and a receiver, which should be a major selling point for Harbaugh and his old-school coaching philosophy.<\/p>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/02\/25\/breaking-travis-kelce-announces-retirement-decision\/\" target=\"_self\">Travis Kelce will return<\/a> for one more season, but the present-day version of the future Hall of Famer is nothing more than a glorified depth option. This team needs a legitimate starter, especially with the uncertainty surrounding young wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Goedert won&#8217;t make anyone forget about prime Kelce, but he could be a reliable security blanket for quarterback Patrick Mahomes as he adjusts to life with a less-than-stellar supporting cast.<\/p>\n<h4>Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n<p>The Carolina Panthers are betting everything on their youth. While <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/02\/19\/jatavion-sanders-panthers-tight-end-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">fourth-round pick Ja&#8217;Tavion Sanders<\/a> showed promise as a rookie, he might not develop into a long-term starter. While the team already re-signed Tommy Tremble, his presence shouldn&#8217;t prevent the team from looking into a Dallas Goedert trade with the Eagles. Goedert is good enough to start and provide a reliable target for Bryce Young, but he&#8217;s not so good that he&#8217;ll impede Sanders&#8217; development.<\/p>\n<h4>Atlanta Falcons<\/h4>\n<p>Kyle Pitts has had every chance to succeed in Atlanta, but the former top-five pick cannot live up to his promise. At this point, it&#8217;s time for the team to cut bait with the veteran and add a more proven option. Dallas Goedert won&#8217;t be the featured option if the Eagles trade him to the Falcons, but he could be the second option in the passing attack. With youngsters Michael Penix, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson leading the way, Atlanta could use a veteran like Goedert to provide off-field leadership and on-field support.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Bill Streicher &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly willing to trade tight end Dallas Goedert as he enters the final year of his contract<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":222740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[7642,7811,3578,246,7661],"class_list":["post-222737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eagles","tag-chargers-featured","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-dallas-goedert","tag-nfl-news","tag-panthers-featured"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222737"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222741,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222737\/revisions\/222741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
