The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> are in danger of losing tight end Dallas Goedert this offseason.<\/p>\n

Goedert is set to hit the free agency market in the spring, and it’s unclear whether the Eagles will bring back the veteran tight end.<\/p>\n

If Goedert departs Philadelphia, CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin<\/a> believes the Eagles could emerge as a landing spot for Cleveland Browns<\/a> free agent tight end David Njoku.<\/p>\n

Here is what Dubin had to say about Njoku and his potential fit in Philadelphia:<\/p>\n

“Whether they want to address the position in the draft or not, they could have a need here if Goedert decides to pursue opportunities elsewhere. The Eagles need to figure out a way to open up the middle of the field for their offense, and Njoku could help them do that.”<\/p>\n

Njoku announced on social media that he will not return to Cleveland in 2026<\/a> and will find a new home in free agency.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old lost his starting spot taken in 2025 to Harold Fannin Jr., who figures to be the Browns’ long-term starter at tight end after a promising rookie season.<\/p>\n

Goedert isn’t the only Eagles tight end entering free agency, as Grant Calcaterra and\u00a0Kylen Granson could also be elsewhere next season. That means Philadelphia could be in for a reset at tight end, with Njoku being a potential option.<\/p>\n

Though Njoku had a down year in 2025, posting just 293 receiving yards, the Miami product has proved to be a dynamic weapon when at his best.<\/p>\n

In his last fully healthy season in 2023, Njoku tallied 882 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 81 receptions, earning a Pro Bowl selection. The 2017 first-round pick posted 505 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games in 2024.<\/p>\n

Njoku will be cheap to sign, and would be a nice fit in the Eagles’ offense as a savvy security blanket for quarterback Jalen Hurts. He would also be a valuable piece to the rushing attack as a run blocker, creating holes for superstar running back Saquon Barkley.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia is slated to have $20 million in cap space<\/a> and should have a bit more by the start of free agency. Signing Njoku, who is projected to land a deal worth $10 million annually<\/a>, per Spotrac, would be a logical move from Eagles general manager Howie Roseman if he can’t retain Goedert.<\/p>\n
