The Philadelphia Eagles keep seeming to find a way to reach a new rock bottom every week of the 2026 NFL season. That’s what it’s like for any team losing seven in a row.
The Eagles fell to 2-7 after their 19-11 defeat to the New York Giants on Sunday. They will hold the same record at the league’s NFL trade deadline in two days.
Even in the mediocre NFC East, the Eagles are in last place and five games back in the loss column of the division leader.
In all likelihood, the expected fire sale is coming for the Eagles over the next couple days. That could include the team dealing veteran tight end Dallas Goedert.
The 31-year-old addressed his swirling trade rumors after the Eagles loss Sunday.
“Obviously, there’s always a chance in this league. Comes down to this one trade deadline, but I think I got enough problems for today. Try not to worry about tomorrow,” said Goedert, via The Athletic’s Zach Berman.
Goedert told the media he spoke with Eagles general manager Howie Roseman a few weeks ago. The tight end didn’t provide many specifics but said it was a “good conversation.
Goedert, though, made it pretty clear anything said in that conversation was subject to change, and things haven’t been going well for the 2-7 Eagles.
“For the right price, everybody’s available, so we’ll see what happens. But not too worried about it.”
Goedert has 41 catches for 308 receiving yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season. On Sunday versus the Giants, the tight end had five receptions for 50 yards on six targets.
Will Eagles Trade TE Dallas Goedert?
Philadelphia could ship out a small collection of starters before Tuesday’s trade deadline. On the latest trade candidates list from The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Goedert was one of five Eagles players discussed as a potential trade target.
The other four were defensive lineman Moro Ojomo, edge rusher Nolan Smith, offensive guard Landon Dickerson, and cornerback Riq Woolen.
Goedert was the lowest-ranked of those five players, coming in at No. 32 on Popper’s list. But that doesn’t mean he’s the least likely to be traded of the bunch. Any team needing another pass-catching option at tight end could consider Goedert, especially since he isn’t likely to be very expensive.
Goedert is also a free agent in March. That makes him an ideal target for any contender just needing immediate offensive help.
Goedert and those other four players have been in the NFL rumor mill for weeks, as the Eagles have experienced a free fall. Just halfway through the season, the Eagles have already lost more games (seven) than they have since 2021.
Philadelphia has to finish 7-1 or suffer the team’s first losing season since 2016.
Where Could Goedert Land at NFL Trade Deadline?
Again, any team needing a veteran pass-catcher, especially one to help in the red zone, could target Goedert. The Eagles tight end has posted 13 touchdowns in his last 22 games.
Popper named the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks as the best fits. Both of those teams lost a tight end to injury earlier in the season.
The Vikings are pretty desperate for any kind of additional offensive production. Minnesota was ranked 27th in points and 29th in yards before Week 9.
The Seahawks could use a jolt on offense too. They lost pass-catching tight end Elijah Arroyo to a season-ending shoulder injury on October 19.
Goedert has only averaged 9.9 yards per catch since the start of the 2025 campaign. But with a healthy Jalen Hurts last season, the tight end posted 60 catches for 591 yards and 11 scores.
