Dallas Goedert trade rumors continue to swirl, and the timing isn\u2019t random. The veteran tight end is entering the final year of his contract with a cap hit of $11.81 million in 2025. If the Philadelphia Eagles trade him after June 1st, they\u2019d save approximately $4.05 million in cap space while taking on a $7.7 million dead cap hit.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the offseason signings of Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant raise even more questions. As a result, it\u2019s fair to wonder: are the Philadelphia Eagles preparing to move on?<\/p>\n
Fueling the speculation, Jordan Raanan<\/a> of ESPN reported that the New York Giants \u201clooked into\u201d trading for Goedert this offseason \u2014 a sign that teams across the league are monitoring his status. This adds another wrinkle to the ongoing Dallas Goedert trade rumors, especially with the draft approaching.<\/p>\n Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman, however, pushed back on the idea that Goedert\u2019s contract situation would shape their 2025 NFL Draft strategy. When asked if it would affect their approach, Roseman said: \u201cIt really doesn\u2019t affect the draft.\u201d<\/a> In other words, the team won\u2019t reach for a tight end just because of contract timing, but that doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t take one if the right prospect is available. Still, despite the ongoing Dallas Goedert trade speculation, it\u2019s clear the Eagles are keeping their options open.<\/p>\n That being said, one name keeps coming up: Mason Taylor.<\/p>\n The LSU standout and son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor is considered one of the top tight ends in the 2025 class. At 6’5″, 255 pounds, Taylor blends size, athleticism, and strong football instincts. He\u2019s a polished route-runner, dependable in the red zone, and capable of making tough catches in traffic. These are all traits the Philadelphia Eagles value, regardless of their current roster depth at the position.<\/p>\nHowie Roseman Downplays Impact On Draft Plans<\/h3>\n
