Free agent tight end options the Eagles can sign with Dallas Goedert on IR

The Philadelphia Eagles have a tight end problem. 

After the team placed Dallas Goedert on injured reserve, the Super Bowl contenders have three tight ends on their roster with a combined 133 yards and a touchdown between them. 

It's not to say the trio of Grant Calcaterra, Tyree Jackson, and Jack Stoll can't make an impact for Philly. However, without a star like Goedert, the team doesn't have any proven options at the position. 

The Eagles have added veteran defensive tackles like Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph. Could more help be on the way? Here are a few options the team could consider down the stretch. 

TE Jared Cook

The 35-year-old Cook has never won a Super Bowl, but he could fill in as a stopgap option for Philly while Goedert recovers. He'd also be great depth for January once Goedert gets healthy. 

You could say that about anyone on this list, really. He caught 48 passes for 564 yards and four touchdowns for the Los Angeles Chargers last season. 

TE Jimmy Graham 

Another 35-year-old option, Graham wasn't able to help much in Chicago last season during Justin Fields' rookie campaign. Although, he's a smart veteran who could likely help Philly in a pinch. 

Graham might have lost a step from his heyday, but at this point in his career, he could still likely school a younger defender in coverage and make just enough of an impact. 

TE Eric Ebron 

Ebron has struggled with injuries last season, but he's only 29 and could factor into the red zone attack for Philly. He's another veteran who can fill in while Goedert is away and try to keep his career going in his 30s. 

Ebron had 13 touchdowns with the Indianapolis Colts in 2018, proving his ability to get open where it counts.

TE Blake Jarwin 

The Eagles are familiar with Jarwin, who played for the Dallas Cowboys to start his career. Jarwin wasn't able to play much over the past two seasons, but he provides an intriguing younger option who could perhaps factor into Philly's plans in the future. 

Jarwin's last fully healthy season was in 2019 when he caught 365 yards and three touchdowns. If his health holds up, he's very familiar with the NFC East. 

TE James O'Shaughnessy 

O'Shaughnessy has been a reliable veteran for a number of years. He won't blow the top off of defenses, but he can provide a steady presence while Goedert is away. 

He hauled in 244 yards last season for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he hasn't reached the end zone since 2019.
