Eagles Agree to a One-Year Deal with Johnny Mundt

Tuesday, March 10, 6:03 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Johnny Mundt to a one-year deal, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Mundt is primarily known for his blocking, as he caught just nine passes and scored zero touchdowns across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Released by the Jaguars last week, Mundt possesses nine years of NFL experience with stops in Los Angeles (Rams), Minnesota, and Jacksonville. He'll offer much-needed depth for the Eagles, who entered this offseason with their top three tight ends slated for free agency. Philadelphia already re-signed Grant Calcaterra, but Dallas Goedert and Kylen Granson are still unrestricted free agents. If neither Goedert nor Granson returns, Mundt would slot in as the team's No. 2 tight end, at least for the time being. Even so, his proficiency as a blocker limits his receiving upside and keeps him off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Grant Calcaterra Starting Season on Injured Reserve

Monday, August 31, 3:19 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles placed tight end Grant Calcaterra (back) on Injured Reserve on roster cutdown day on Sunday, according to the team's official website. Calcaterra will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2026 season after he missed the final two weeks of the preseason. The 27-year-old's injury leaves the Eagles a little light on depth at the position behind starter Dallas Goedert going into Week 1 against the division-rival Washington Commanders, with Johnny Mundt, rookie Eli Stowers, and E.J. Jenkins comprising the team's TE room to open the season. It is why the Eagles are considering a reunion with veteran Zach Ertz (knee), who is wrapping up his rehab from a torn ACL last year. The 27-year-old Calcaterra had a career-best 298 receiving yards and a touchdown on 24 receptions in 2024, but he fell to just nine catches, 76 yards, and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games last year in his fourth year in the NFL. The former sixth-rounder in 2022 from SMU is off the fantasy football radar in all leagues for the start of 2026.
