Eagles, Goedert strike 4-year extension worth reported $57M

The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert agreed to a four-year extension that runs through the 2025 campaign, the team announced Friday.

The deal is worth $57 million and contains $35 million guaranteed, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Goedert appeared to be Philadelphia's tight end of the future for some time, and the midseason Zach Ertz trade seemingly solidified that likelihood.

The 2018 second-round pick ranks eighth in receiving among tight ends this season with 429 yards and is on track for a top-10 finish in that category for the second time in four years. He's also one of the better blockers at his position in the NFL.

"There are not a lot of guys like that, that are really exceptional at being able to create mismatches in the pass game and also get their job done in the run game," head coach Nick Sirianni said.

Goedert is in concussion protocol after taking a hit in Week 10, but he's expected to be cleared for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Goedert marks the third notable extension the Eagles have finalized since September following deals with offensive tackle Jordan Mailata and defensive end Josh Sweat.
