This week is not only the start of the NFL free agency. The new year of the league that starts on Wednesday also opens the door of trades to be consumed in the league. Although they have not made a lot of high -level movements at this stage of the calendar in recent years, the Saint-Orleans saints have already surprised us. And a name to watch for them is Philadelphia Eagles End Dallas GOEDERT.
By initiate of the NFL Josina AndersonThe Eagles are looking for a fourth tower choice for Goenert, but may have to pay part of his salary to do so. At least when they deal with teams short of ceiling such as saints. GOEDERT is only due to the minimum base salary in 2025 ($ 1,255,000), but the largest load is its option of $ 13,995,000. The Eagles are on the hook for more than $ 21 million in dead money, so making them take more money is a difficult sale.
The good news is that if the saints are interested, they have two fourth rounds to swap with: their own choice at n ° 111 and the Washington Commanders“Choose at n ° 130, returning from the trade in Marshon Lattimore. They can afford to pay this price. Anderson adds that the Eagles would be ready to take a fourth circle in 2026 or 2027, so they must think that it is the kind of compensation that they would get if Goedert was leaving for free will. We must also mention that the saints have already done business with the Eagles, but for mixed results.
So what’s the call? GOEDERT is a top 10 coherent in the NFL for years now, even by dealing with injuries which have limited it to 10, 14 and 12 games in the last three seasons. He is one of the best tight ends blocking the game and remains an effective passeeer, although he does not offer the same agility at the bottom of the field he was eating earlier in his career. He also knows the offensive that Kellen Moore installs with the saints inside and outside. New Orleans has a lot of instability in this position between the free agency of Juwan Johnson and the injury of Foster Moreau, and earlier this Director General of the offseason, Mickey Loomis, suggested that they would need two measures to remedy it.
GOEDERT, who was 30 years old in January, could be part of the solution. Maybe. The saints would age offensively and he will want a new contract (he is during the last year of his current agreement). It should be noted that this is a very deep draft course at a tight end and they could rather obtain a comparable talent on a recruit agreement. But if New Orleans is looking for an experience in the Moore system, they will not find it in the project.
