Eagles vs Chiefs Reportedly Pull Off Win-Win Blockbuster Trade

Philadelphia, PA – March 19, 2025, 12:40 AM PDT
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly finalized a blockbuster trade, sending tight end Dallas Goedert to Kansas City in a deal that benefits both Super Bowl contenders, sources confirmed Tuesday. In exchange, the Eagles receive a 2026 third-round pick, a 2025 fifth-round pick, and defensive end Charles Omenihu, marking a strategic move for both teams.

For the Eagles, the trade addresses critical needs after losing Goedert (496 yards, 2 TDs in 2024), who was on the trade block following a cap-crunch offseason (Fan Recap, 15/3/2025). The 2026 third-round pick and 2025 fifth-round pick provide GM Howie Roseman with draft capital to target a young tight end like Colston Loveland in the 2025 NFL Draft, while Omenihu, 27, brings pass-rush depth with 7 sacks in 2024 (web ID: 0). Omenihu bolsters an Eagles defensive line depleted by the departures of Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick, giving Vic Fangio a versatile edge rusher to pair with Nolan Smith and Azeez Ojulari (web ID: 11).

The Chiefs, meanwhile, secure a long-term successor to Travis Kelce, who at 35 showed signs of slowing down (984 yards, 10.7 yards/catch in 2024) (web ID: 0). Goedert, 30, with 4,085 career yards and playoff experience (215 yards in 2024), offers Andy Reid a reliable pass-catcher and blocker to complement Patrick Mahomes’ offense (web ID: 4). Despite Goedert’s injury history (15 games missed 2022-2024), his 2024 playoff performance makes him a perfect fit for a Chiefs team looking to rebound from their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles (web ID: 0).
