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.
