The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert have pushed back the deadline to void Goedert's contract to Monday, March 16, giving both sides more time to negotiate a new deal. Goedert, 31, is coming off a strong season where he set career-highs in touchdown catches, but the Eagles are facing tough salary cap decisions this offseason.

Why it matters

Goedert is one of the top tight ends in the NFL, but the Eagles have to balance retaining their elite talent with managing their salary cap. This extension gives the two sides more time to try and reach an agreement before Goedert potentially hits free agency.

The details

The original deadline for the Eagles to void Goedert's contract was Sunday, March 15. However, the two sides have now pushed that back to Monday, March 16, providing additional time for negotiations. The Eagles are facing difficult roster decisions this offseason, with star wide receiver A.J. Brown also potentially on the move. Goedert had a career-best 11 touchdown catches in 2025, but has never reached the 1,000-yard receiving mark in his career.

  • The original deadline to void Goedert's contract was Sunday, March 15.
  • The deadline has now been pushed back to Monday, March 16.
