The Denver Broncos only have Evan Engram and Caleb Lohner under contract at the tight end position prior to the kickoff of free agency in one week. With that in mind, it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that the Broncos are in the market to add another tight end to their ranks. A player with extensive experience as an inline tight end who can block will be important to add, but finding one who can also offer skills as a receiver would be an added bonus.<\/p>\n
One player that could pique their interest is Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert. An eight-year NFL veteran, Goedert has been a productive player over his career since being drafted out of South Dakota State in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. However, he is entering the twilight years of his career. Let\u2019s discuss his fit as a potential member of the Broncos.<\/p>\n
Tight End | Dallas Goedert | Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n
Experience: 8 NFL seasons<\/p>\n
2025 stats<\/a>: 15 games played with 15 starts. 60 catches on 82 targets for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns. 34 receptions for first downs. 73-percent catch rate. Four drops.<\/p>\n Should the Broncos sign tight end Dallas Goedert?<\/p>\n There are a handful of options Denver could consider in free agency. Players like Cade Otton, Chig Okonkwo and Charlie Kolar have been discussed in prior articles. All three are quite different players, with some fitting better than others. Otton is likely the most well-rounded of the bunch, with Okonkwo being the best receiver, and Kolar offering the most upside as a blocker.<\/p>\n Despite his age, I think Goedert is a good fit. In fact, he could very well be the most \u201cwell-rounded\u201d option for Denver to pursue. He has a lot of playing experience and has produced at a high level throughout his career. Last season, he reeled in 11 touchdowns and was a tremendous red zone threat for the Eagles\u2019 offense. A 73-percent catch-rate shows his reliability when targeted. He has only 20 drops over the past eight years.<\/p>\n Run blocking has been a strength of Goedert\u2019s throughout his career. However, last season marked a significant drop<\/a> in efficiency in that respect. He was credited with 12 blown blocks<\/a> on 242 run blocking snaps. For perspective, Goedert had none in 2024 and only 20 before that for his entire career. I was surprised to see that drastic of a drop off in \u201825 considering how good he has been as a run blocker.<\/p>\n
