The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert have reached an agreement to extend the void date in his contract, giving both parties more time to work out a potential extension. This move keeps Goedert off the list of official free agents, despite his contract being set to void.
Last year, Goedert made a significant financial adjustment by taking a $4.25 million pay cut. This decision, coupled with his $10 million salary being fully guaranteed, helped the Eagles reduce his cap hit by $1.05 million. As the new league year approaches, Goedert is positioned to become an unrestricted free agent.
Drafted by the Eagles in the second round back in 2018, Goedert has been a key player for the team. Initially, he was on a four-year deal worth $5.6 million, with a base salary of $1.246 million in his final year. However, in 2021, he secured a four-year, $59 million extension, showing the team's commitment to his talents.
Entering the last year of his current contract, Goedert is set to earn $14.25 million in 2025. His performance last season was impressive, as he played in 15 games, racking up 60 receptions for 591 yards and scoring 11 touchdowns. This kind of production highlights why the Eagles are eager to keep him in Philadelphia.
