This is another smart signing by the Eagles. Bryant will compete for the No. 2 role behind Dallas Goedert, and while he likely won't surpass that spot on the depth chart, taking a chance on him makes sense. The 26-year-old tight end won the 2019 John Mackey Award in his final college season before earning PFWA All-Rookie Team honors in 2020. His career-best stat line occurred in 2022, when he caught 31-of-42 targets for 239 yards and one touchdown.

Goedert is heading into the final year of his contract and is set to be a free agent in 2026. Releasing Goedert would save the Eagles over $4 million, but also carry a dead cap hit over $7.7 million. A trade is more likely should the Eagles want to part ways and according to Anderson, the front office is hoping to get at least a fourth-round pick for him. The 30-year-old has been Philadelphia's starting tight end since Zach Ertz's departure, but has missed 10 games over the last two seasons. The Eagles may be looking to get younger at the position but it would make more sense to keep Goedert for the last year of his deal should a trade not materialize.
Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com in Philadelphia says he believes the Eagles are on the verge of splitting with TE Dallas Goedert. "Teams around the league know Dallas Goedert is available in trade and the Eagles are willing to move him," Shorr-Parks posted Saturday. Goedert turned 30 in January and is heading into the final year of his contract. He's reportedly seeking an extension, but it doesn't sound like the Eagles want to extend.
