Eagles Retain Dallas Goedert with $10M Reworked Deal

Dallas Goedert has restructured his contract to remain with the Philadelphia Eagles for an eighth season, accepting a $10 million deal down from an original $14.25 million salary. Key factors in his decision to stay include the close connection and mutual confidence he shares with quarterback Jalen Hurts, who made him feel valued as a teammate. Goedert acknowledged the stress and uncertainty of the offseason but was supported by Hurts and the leadership within the team, including guidance from position coach Jason Michael. The Eagles’ leadership council, including Goedert, also sought advice from Peyton Manning on maintaining sustained success, emphasizing daily hard work and motivation strategies. Goedert highlighted the team's hunger to defend their Super Bowl title, inspired by Hurts’ conversations with Michael Jordan about staying fresh and focused. Despite missing significant time due to injuries in recent seasons, Goedert remains a top performer and an integral part of the Eagles’ offense.
