Steelers Trade with Eagles for Superstar Super Bowl in NFL-Shaking Move

Pittsburgh, PA – April 3, 2025
In a blockbuster deal that’s rocked the NFL landscape, the Pittsburgh Steelers have traded with the Philadelphia Eagles to acquire tight end Dallas Goedert, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday. The Steelers sent their 2025 fourth-round pick (No. 123) and a 2026 sixth-round pick to Philadelphia, landing the Super Bowl LIX champion in a move that jolts both teams’ trajectories for 2025.

Goedert, 30, joins Pittsburgh after seven standout seasons with the Eagles, where he racked up 3,589 yards and 24 touchdowns on 307 catches, averaging 11.7 yards per grab. In 2024, he posted 496 yards and 2 scores despite missing seven games to injury. “Dallas is a dynamic weapon—exactly what we need,” GM Omar Khan said. His arrival pairs with Pat Freiermuth, forming a lethal TE tandem to complement D.K. Metcalf and George Pickens in Arthur Smith’s run-heavy scheme.

The Eagles, eyeing cap relief and draft capital, offload Goedert’s $11.8 million 2025 cap hit—the final year of his $57 million deal. Philadelphia snags the Steelers’ fourth-rounder—coveted after losing picks in free agency (Web ID 7)—plus a future sixth, aligning with GM Howie Roseman’s strategy to rebuild post-Super Bowl. “It’s a win for both sides,” an insider noted.

Fan reactions on X exploded: “Goedert to Steelers? That’s a game-changer!” (@SteelCityFan). “Eagles trading a champ for picks—shocking!” (@PhillyFaithful). With Tyron Smith already signed to bolster the line, Pittsburgh’s offense gains firepower amid their QB hunt—be it Aaron Rodgers or a draft pick like Jaxson Dart. This seismic trade, blending Steelers grit with Eagles savvy, promises to reshape the NFL in 2025.
