For a while, after the Super Bowl and back before the draft, it didn't seem likely that Dallas Goedert would still be an Eagle. The 30-year-old tight end was heading toward a contract year,  and potential extension afterward, but the Eagles were looking at retaining as much of the young core of their championship roster as possible and needed money for contract extensions and some free agents. They needed to make sure they would have the money freed up there.
