NFL Eagles shopping TE Dallas Goedert (8 Viewers)

[St. Geezy]

That might not quite be a fair interpretation of this, but it's really close to putting him in the same category as Graham. It's certainly putting him in the same athletic category and he isn't even close to that:

"The things he can do athletically are nothing like anything we’ve had since Jimmy Graham. "

Look man, I don't want to fight about it. If you think Goedert is still a great TE, cool. I just don't think he's close to the player he was and at this point isn't much of an upgrade over Johnson and Moreau. I'll give you that he a better blocker than Johnson and a better receiver than Moreau, but the full package isn't a huge improvement over what we have other than that he's a complete TE.

And if it takes a big contract and draft picks to get him, I'd rather get Mayer, Engram, or take TEs in the draft. And again, if Philly is willing to let him go, it's a serious buyer beware situation. They know if he's still the player he was and if he's hitting the age cliff.

That being said, if he's released, comes relatively cheap, and Moore wants him, then I'm fine with signing him. But we also need to take a TE in the first 3 rounds of this draft.

Yes all that quote denotes is that of all the tight ends we have had since Jimmy, Goedert would be the most athletically gifted.

I thought I made that context very clear with the very next sentence where I indicated that I wasn’t comparing the two players.

Then I obviously misinterpreted it.

No thanks, he was really good 3-4 years ago but his production and health seem to be steadily declining....not worth giving up a draft pick for IMO

If the Eagles were to take a 4th or 5th round pick and take on a big portion of his cap hit, then I'd be all for it. Purely on talent he'd be an excellent TE to add for us, but he is injury prone and expensive. He played well last year in Kellen Moore's offense and would likely step right in and be a quality TE option for us this season.

Agreed mostly with this one.

He's got enough left in the tank to make an impact for a team, but he's already been rewarded fairly handsomely and would be due that much by any new team. Right now, I'm ready to trust KM and Big Nuss's judgement on former Eagle players on offense.

I'm against it .
Not a lot of production ,30+ years old and from the Beagles.
I wouldn't trade for that ,no.

Nah... Good player but Foster is just as good.

Foster is much better than what the fans think. My opinion of him changed 180 degrees from 2023-2024. He's a gamer and a leader. And he's a complete tight end.
