The Philadelphia Eagles have made two moves to shore up their tight end position, agreeing to terms with veteran Johnny Mundt on a one-year deal and bringing back Grant Calcaterra on a one-year contract, according to multiple reports. Mundt, known for his blocking ability, spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Calcaterra is returning to the Eagles for a fifth season after being drafted by the team in 2022.

Why it matters

The Eagles' tight end group was a strength in 2025 with the emergence of Grant Calcaterra, but the future of starter Dallas Goedert remains uncertain. These moves add depth and experience at the position as the team looks to build on its recent success.

The details

Mundt, 31, has nine seasons of NFL experience with the Rams, Vikings, and Jaguars. He is known as a strong blocker and will provide depth behind Goedert. Calcaterra, a 2022 sixth-round pick, had a breakout 2024 season with 24 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown when Goedert was injured. The Eagles are hoping Calcaterra can continue to develop and contribute in 2026.
