Selected in the second round of the 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025-nfl-draft-profiles\/\" target=\"_self\">NFL Draft<\/a>, the South Dakota State product has been a reliable weapon since entering the league that could probably put up better numbers in a less crowded environment. While injuries limited him to 10 games last year, he still recorded 42 receptions for 496 yards and two touchdowns despite playing in a run-heavy offense while fighting star wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for targets.<\/p>\n<p>Now entering the final year of his contract, the Eagles could trade Dallas Goedert to clear up some much-needed cap space. While he is a good player, he&#8217;s entering his age-30 season and the overwhelmingly talented Eagles might have to trade him to retain other key players.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, <a  href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Howie_Roseman\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General Manager Howie Roseman<\/a> wouldn&#8217;t commit to retaining their homegrown talent. NFL Network&#8217;s Mike Garafolo, meanwhile, added some much-needed context, saying trade talks &#8220;could go either way&#8221; and that Dallas Goedert could find a new team &#8220;as we get closer to the draft.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dallas Goedert entering the last year of his deal with the <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Eagles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Eagles<\/a>. This has felt like it could go either way. Not a player they\u2019re looking to dump but a possible tough decision on financials and what a trade might net. One of the players to watch as we get closer to the draft. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5QP3Ijmi1y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/5QP3Ijmi1y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeGarafolo\/status\/1906732888009126200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 31, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Dallas Goedert is not a 100-catch type of player, but the trade target should receive interest on the open market. He&#8217;s not an elite player by any stretch of the imagination, but he&#8217;s a Tier 2 tight end who would upgrade several depth charts across the league.<\/p>\n<h2>Eagles GM Howie Roseman Hints At Dallas Goedert Trade<\/h2>\n<h3>Potential Partners<\/h3>\n<h4>Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n<p>The Carolina Panthers have several young pass-catchers who showed promise in 2025, but they don&#8217;t have much in terms of proven veterans. Adam Thielen isn&#8217;t getting any younger, so perhaps the team could target someone like Dallas Goedert in a trade. Goedert could be the perfect security blanket for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/12\/06\/bryce-young-carolina-panthers-quarterback-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">resurgent Bryce Young<\/a> while playing a mentoring role for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/02\/19\/jatavion-sanders-panthers-tight-end-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">second-year tight end Ja&#8217;Tavion Sanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Indianapolis Colts<\/h4>\n<p>The Indianapolis Colts will host one of the league&#8217;s most depressing quarterback battles in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/01\/06\/the-indianapolis-colts-quarterback-situation\/\" target=\"_self\">Anthony Richardson versus Daniel Jones<\/a>. No matter who wins, the Colts will send out a below-average starter and need all the support they can get to create a functioning offense. While the team has plenty of wide receivers, a Dallas Goedert trade would fill the glaring hole at wide receiver.<\/p>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<p>Travis Kelce will return for one more season, but the future Hall of Famer isn&#8217;t getting any younger. Kelce looked like a shell of himself throughout the 2024 season, and he probably won&#8217;t find the Fountain of Youth in the offseason. Dallas Goedert is no spring chicken himself, but the 30-year-old has more in his tank and could be the next featured tight end in this offense. He won&#8217;t put up prime Kelce numbers, but he should be an improvement on the present-day version of the Chiefs legend.<\/p>\n<h4>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n<p>The Los Angeles Chargers had the worst tight ends in football last year, and they haven&#8217;t done much to improve the situation. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/21\/tyler-conklin-signs-contract-chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">Tyler Conklin is a career journeyman<\/a>, and a coach like Jim Harbaugh should put more effort into finding a tight end who can positively impact the passing and running games. Nobody will confuse Dallas Goedert with Antonio Gates, but a trade would give Justin Herbert another reliable set of hands opposite Ladd McConkey.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: James Lang &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia Eagles don&#8217;t have the money to extend tight end Dallas Goedert and could trade him if they receive the right offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":225815,"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":[21,30,12,16,18],"tags":[7642,7811,3578,3226,7800,7661,7393,339,3840],"class_list":["post-225807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eagles","category-panthers","category-colts","category-chiefs","category-chargers","tag-chargers-featured","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-dallas-goedert","tag-howie-roseman","tag-indianapolis-colts-news","tag-panthers-featured","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-travis-kelce","tag-tyler-conklin"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225807","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=225807"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":225817,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225807\/revisions\/225817"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
