49ers, Broncos trade rumors make Eagles perfect match for deadline deal
The 49ers and Broncos are looking for a tight end and the Eagles might have what they need.
The San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos are seeking a tight end, according to trade rumors, making them an ideal fit for the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported that the 49ers are exploring the tight end market as a backup plan if they fail to secure a wide receiver. Similarly, the Broncos have shown interest in tight ends, inquiring about Arizona Cardinals star Trey McBride.
The Philadelphia Eagles present a perfect match for these teams, as they are also looking for a tight end, likely Dallas Goedert. Goedert has demonstrated his versatility and production, averaging over 500 yards in six of his eight NFL seasons and twice exceeding 700 yards. The Eagles, facing a challenging season, may use this opportunity to reset their roster in 2027, potentially trading Goedert, who will become a free agent next season.
Compensation for the trade is expected to be modest, possibly a fourth- or fifth-round pick, which is reasonable considering Goedert's value. The Broncos would gain a fourth- and fifth-round draft pick, while the 49ers would lack a fourth-round pick in 2027.
