Eagles QB Jalen Hurts gets good news about the future of key weapon ahead of next NFL season

Jalen Hurts has one goal in mind — getting back to the Super Bowl with his Philadelphia Eagles. And the good news for him is that one of his most important offensive weapons could be staying with the team to help him achieve that mission.

Dallas Goedert, the talented tight end for Nick Sirianni’s squad, had been at the center of trade rumors leading up to the recent NFL Draft. But putting all speculation to rest, he is now expected to restructure his contract — a move that would keep his talent in Philadelphia for the season ahead.

The news was confirmed by NFL insider Mike Garafolo, who shared further details about what lies ahead for the former South Dakota State standout and the Eagles via his official X account (formerly Twitter).

“The #Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as @Jeff_McLane stated. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft. He was in the loop. Decided to remain with the team and selflessly restructured to try running it back,” the insider reported via @MikeGarafolo.

Dallas Goedert #88 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates with Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles against the Green Bay Packers during the NFC Wild Card Playoff at Lincoln Financial Field on January 12, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Garafolo also added: “The #Eagles had to allocate their money across the roster, so they entertained trade offers for Goedert, though they always kept the door open for his return. Coaches wanted him back. Goedert preferred to stay in Philly over other possible destinations that were presented.”

Covey says goodbye to the Eagles

In their quest to return to the Super Bowl, the Eagles are looking to surround Jalen Hurts with the best possible support. However, some of the players who helped capture the title in New Orleans have ultimately decided to move on and seek new opportunities elsewhere.

Britain Covey, wide receiver and punt returner for the reigning SB champions, will not be returning under Nick Sirianni’s leadership, as he has decided to join the Rams for the upcoming season.

“Can’t put into words how much Philly has meant to me and my family,” the former Utah player shared the heartfelt message through his social media accounts.
