Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert offered a candid assessment of his potential departure from the team following Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants. Addressing persistent trade rumors ahead of Tuesday’s NFL deadline, Goedert acknowledged the reality of the league’s business side while maintaining a focused mindset on his immediate performance. “Obviously, there’s always a chance in this league,” Goedert stated. “Comes down to this trade deadline, but no. I think I got about enough problems for today. Try not to worry about tomorrow.”
Eagles TE admits future is uncertain as NFL trade deadline approaches
The veteran tight end confirmed that he has already engaged in discussions with Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman regarding his status. “I talked to Howie briefly a couple weeks ago and we had a good conversation,” Goedert explained. He further clarified the nature of those talks with a blunt industry truth: “Obviously, anything can change. For the right price, everybody’s available, so we’ll see what happens. But I’m not too worried about it.” This response underscores that while no player is strictly off the market, a significant financial incentive is required to move a key asset like Goedert.
Goedert’s perspective aligns with the underlying mechanics of the NFL trade market, where “unavailable” players are often simply those for whom the asking price has not yet been met. By accepting that his future is outside his direct control, Goedert demonstrates the professional maturity expected of a franchise cornerstone. As the deadline looms, the Eagles will weigh the value of their tight end against potential return packages, but for now, Goedert remains committed to executing his role on the field without distraction.
