Dallas Goedert isn't going anywhere after all.

Dallas Goedert isn't going anywhere. The Eagles reached a one-year deal to retain their veteran tight end on Sunday, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport . He'll now get to return for a ninth season with the organization.

After coming onto the scene as the heir apparent to Zach Ertz as a second-round pick out of South Dakota State in 2018, Goedert enjoyed a steady career in Philadelphia, posting 500-plus receiving yards in all but two of his seasons. Last season, he found the end zone a career-high 11 times while registering a personal-best 60 receptions. Along the way, he piled up 591 receiving yards.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman traded Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals during the 2021 season . Ertz was coming up on his 31st birthday at the time. He had helped Philadelphia win its first-ever Super Bowl, and he had earned three Pro Bowl nods.

Flash forward about four and a half years, and Goedert is in a similar stage of his career now. He's already 31. He, too, has won a ring with the Eagles, assisting the franchise in bringing home a second Lombardi Trophy.
