As we inch closer to the start of the 2021 NFL season, it’s never too early for an examination of the 2022 offseason.
Philadelphia will gain a ton of cap space, a truckload of first-round picks, and the opportunity to further bolster a retooled roster. Bleacher Report recently named the one player that each NFL team can least afford to lose via free agency.
For the Eagles, that player was Dallas Goedert.
The Philadelphia Eagles could have big decisions to make on impending 2022 free agents Zach Ertz (if he hasn’t been traded), Anthony Harris, Derek Barnett and Dallas Goedert next offseason. But trade rumors have swirled around the 30-year-old Ertz all offseason, and they used a second-round pick on Goedert just three years ago.
It might be time to see if he can deliver and turn into a star, which is entirely possible considering that he’s put up more than 500 yards in each of the last two seasons despite starting fewer than 10 games in both campaigns.
The 29-year-old Harris might be a one-year wonder coming over from Minnesota, and Barnett has yet to live up to expectations as a 2017 first-round pick. So we’ll roll with Goedert.
With Zach Ertz expected to depart, Howie Roseman and company can’t afford to allow their 2018 second-round pick to walk via free agency.
