Eagles TE Dallas Goedert Aims to ‘Win Another’ Super Bowl After Reworking Contract to Stay in Philadelphia

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has made it clear: he’s staying in Philly with one goal in mind: “win another” Super Bowl. After helping the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, Goedert faced the possibility of leaving the only NFL team he’s ever played for. But instead, he and the team reworked his contract in May 2025, allowing him to remain with the franchise. Speaking on ESPN’s NFL Live from Tight End University on Tuesday, Goedert explained why he chose to stay. “Yeah, so when I got drafted a year after they won the Super Bowl, I was able to experience the fun parts of a Super Bowl the year after winning the Super Bowl. After we won and the opportunity to run it back again to see the banner drop, it just wouldn’t have felt — it would have felt I was missing on a lot not being there to see all that stuff,” Goedert said. “I got a lot of love for the city of Philadelphia, the ownership all the way to the cooks in the building. I got a great relationship with all of them. So, I figured for me it was best to work out a deal, so I could stay there and be with the people I find that are important and try to win another one.” Head coach Nick Sirianni, fresh off the team’s emphatic Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs, made it clear he wanted to “run it back.” That message, along with Goedert’s deep connection to the organization, was enough to keep the veteran tight end committed.

‘Jacob was Jacob’: deGrom extends dominant run with another quality start

Thousands of fans packed Globe Life Field in white Jacob deGrom jerseys Tuesday night, as the Texas Rangers marked a jersey giveaway with their ace on the mound and he didn’t disappoint. DeGrom delivered yet another quality start, allowing two runs over six innings in a 10-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He struck out seven and walked one. “Of course, Jacob was Jacob,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “Just another terrific job. … This guy is special. Talk about a feeling of confidence with the team. I’ll keep saying it, I love watching him. You can feel it with the crowd. You can. Just a terrific job.” With Tuesday’s outing, deGrom extended his streak to 14 consecutive starts of pitching at least five innings and allowing two or fewer runs — the longest in Rangers franchise history (since 1961) and the longest in MLB this season. His ERA now sits at 2.13, a reflection of his sustained dominance. The only blemish was a two-out, two-run homer by Gary Sánchez in the fourth inning. DeGrom has now logged six straight quality starts, matching his longest streak since August–September 2022 with the Mets.

The New York Jets have locked down one of their biggest stars. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson has agreed to a four-year, $130 million contract extension, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The deal includes a massive $90 million guaranteed. Wilson is now one of the highest-paid receivers in the league. Key terms of the extension: Wilson, 24, has recorded three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons since being selected 10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. He helped kickstart a run of first-round wideouts from the Buckeyes that includes Chris Olave (2022), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2023), Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024), and Emeka Egbuka (2025). His rookie class, drafted by former GM Joe Douglas, also featured CB Sauce Gardner, EDGE Jermaine Johnson II, and RB Breece Hall. New head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey are reportedly committed to rewarding both Wilson and Gardner with long-term deals. On Monday, Wilson got his payday. His $32.5 million annual salary now ranks fifth among all NFL wide receivers, firmly cementing his value as Gang Green’s top offensive weapon.

Buccaneers to debut original 1976 uniforms in 2025 home opener vs Jets

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will throw it back to their roots when they open their 50th NFL season. The team announced Tuesday that they will wear their original 1976 uniforms in the 2025 home opener against the New York Jets on Sunday, September 21. Tampa Bay has worn Creamsicle throwbacks in select games since 2009, but this marks the first time since 1976 that the Bucs will wear the exact design from their inaugural season. “The ’76 Jersey represents a piece of Buccaneers history and serves as a tribute to the generations of fans and players who shaped this franchise,” said COO Brian Ford. “As we launch into our 50th season, we’re proud to reintroduce The ’76 Jersey and the tradition it embodies.” The uniforms feature white jerseys with orange numbers and red outlines, paired with white pants, white helmets, and striped socks. The look also includes a special touch: “Hey! Hey! Tampa Bay!” stitched inside the collar — a nod to the team’s original fight song from 1979, the year Tampa earned its first winning season and playoff berth. The return of the original look is part of a broader celebration of the Bucs’ golden anniversary and the journey that began in 1976.
