Execs, coaches, scouts rank NFL’s top 10 tight ends for 2025 - ESPN+
9. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles. Highest ranking: 7 | Lowest ranking: unranked. Age: 30 | Last year’s ranking: 7. Goedert occupies a tricky space on the list because he’s a longtime top-10 resident but is, quite clearly, the fourth option in the Eagles’ offense behind Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Philadelphia explored a potential trade for Goedert this offseason, only to revise his contract to one year and $10 million. His 2024 output — 42 catches for 496 yards and two touchdowns — was his lowest since his rookie year in 2018. But he’s still considered among the most complete tight ends in the NFL. “He’s still on the short list of tight ends that affect the game at a high level,” a high-ranking scout with an NFL team said. Added a veteran NFL defensive coach: “Very good player — does everything extremely well, just not exceptional at any one thing in particular ... You don’t give him as much thought as some of these other top [tight ends], but probably because you can’t afford to with Saquon, A.J. and Smith in that offense.”
Eagles’ Week 4 opponent is dealing with some bad news - BGN
Some big NFL news that potentially impacts the Philadelphia Eagles: Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs recently underwent knee surgery that could cause him to miss multiple games. The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports that Wirfs “will likely begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.” If that’s true, Wirfs will automatically be ineligible to play in the Bucs’ first four games. That much is relevant for the Eagles, who are set to play at Tampa in Week 4.
QB Swap Talk - Iggles Blitz
Jayden Daniels is the right QB for Washington. He was a huge part of that team going from awful to the NFC title game. Jalen Hurts is the right QB for the Eagles. He has led the team to two SBs in three seasons. I can’t stress how impressive that is. Some people love to say any QB would have gotten to those SBs because of how talented the roster is. What a load of crap. Part of being a QB is being a leader and setting the tone for your team. Hurts does a great job of that. Think about how focused he was in the SB, even with the Eagles firmly in command. He didn’t want to let up at all. Hurts focus and determination helps his team show up in big games.
