Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has drawn interest from potential trade suitors, with reports indicating the Eagles may consider offers involving future picks. While a trade remains a possibility, it should not be a top priority for the team. The New Orleans Saints are suggested as a potential destination for Goedert, especially if offensive coordinator Kellen Moore aims to bring him to New Orleans. However, the Saints may benefit more from addressing other positions first, such as cornerback, before pursuing a trade for Goedert.
Considering the draft's depth at tight end positions, with prospects like Tyler Warren and Mason Taylor potentially available in the early rounds, the Saints could explore drafting a younger player on a rookie contract instead of pursuing a trade for Goedert. This approach would provide the team with cost-effective options while allowing them to evaluate their draft choices before committing to a trade. Additionally, the financial implications of Goedert's contract demands further suggest that investing in a younger player through the draft might be a more strategic move for the Saints in the long term.
