"Right Now, He's On Our Team" - Eagles HC Nick Sirianni on TE Dallas Goedert

Don’t sugarcoat it too much, Nick. It’s somewhat of a cryptic response from the Eagles head man after Goedert’s name was tossed around a few times in trade speculation at the beginning of the league year. Besides an apparent inability to stay healthy for a full 17-game season, Goedert was largely phased out of the Eagles’ gameplan during their Super Bowl-winning season in 2024 – he eclipsed six targets just three times in 2024, missed most or all of eight games, and finished as a fantasy TE1 just twice – both before the Eagles Week 5 bye. The addition of Saquon Barkley turned the Eagles into the league’s most run-heavy team, and between his 2000 yards on the ground and the presence of A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith in the receiving game, Goedert became a distant 3rd target in the pecking order in 2024 and has fallen almost entirely out of favor in Philly’s offense. A change of scenery could be in the best interest of both sides if Sirianni’s comments are any indicator, and there are plenty of teams this offseason in the market for a difference-making tight end. Goedert is just a year removed from three-straight top-15 finishes at the position, and his services would likely be picked up elsewhere happily. One potential destination: the Colts, who have a gaping hole at tight end in their offense and also employ former Eagles OC Shane Steichen as their HC.
