Locked in as top TE Goedert will enter training camp as the Eagles' starting tight end for the first time in his career, Dave Spadaro of the team's official site reports. Impact The 2018 second-round pick was a big part of Philadelphia's offense each of his first four seasons, but most of that time was spent working as the No. 2 behind Zach Ertz in schemes that used a lot of multi-TE looks. The team finally moved on from Ertz midway through last season, right around the same time coach Nick Sirianni switched to a run-first approach. While the Eagles may shift toward a more balanced, unpredictable approach this year, a big part of the reason is offseason acquisition A.J. Brown, who also represents stiff target competition. Still, there's a chance for Goedert to break out in Year 5, with he, Brown and DeVonta Smith clearly the top three weapons for young QB Jalen Hurts.
