The San Francisco 49ers were active ahead of the NFL trade deadline. After acquiring defensive tackle DeForest Buckner weeks earlier, the team added veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen on Tuesday. San Francisco also explored the possibility of adding a tight end.
General manager John Lynch reportedly contacted the Philadelphia Eagles to ask about the availability and price of veteran tight end Dallas Goedert. Philadelphia was 2-7 at the time, but the discussions did not lead to a trade, and the Eagles kept the nine-year veteran.
Several teams showed interest in Goedert, but he was never close to being dealt. At 31, he could also re-sign with Philadelphia for 2027.
## Goedert’s 2026 Season
Goedert has played in seven games this season, recording 31 receptions for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Injuries have affected the Eagles’ season, including Goedert’s availability.
Across 115 career games, he has totaled 440 catches for 4,984 yards and 37 touchdowns.
## The 49ers’ Tight End Situation
San Francisco did not make a move for a tight end and continues to have veteran George Kittle at the position. The 49ers entered the week at 7-1 and atop the NFC West.
They were scheduled to host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, while the Eagles had a bye.
