Avonte Maddox on Dallas Goedert still buying dinner after signing huge contract extension

Eagles’ Avonte Maddox says Dallas Goedert is still buying dinner after both roommates sign new deals

The Eagles created an interesting scenario this week when they signed both Avonte Maddox and Dallas Goedert to contract extension.

A likely first in professional sports contract history, Goedert and Maddox have actually been roommates since being drafted in the 2018 class, and now they’re both rich enough to purchase individual mansions if they choose.

Goedert signed his deal first, and upon hearing the numbers, Maddox joked that Goedert would be paying for dinners in the foreseeable future.

After signing his own new contract, Maddox again joked that Goedert still has to pay for Dinner since his contract is for almost $27 million more.

Both players are competing at an elite level and the Eagles franchise is the true winner after locking up two core pieces.

Eagles agree to 3-year, $22.5 million contract extension with CB Avonte Maddox

Philadelphia Eagles agree to 3-year, $22.5 million contract extension with CB Avonte Maddox

Hours after signing Dallas Goedert to a contract extension, the Eagles have also agreed to a new three-year deal with cornerback Avonte Maddox.

Maddox is the 22nd highest-graded cornerback in the NFL according to PFF and could be in line for a 4-year extension with a base value of $20 million with almost $9 million in full guarantee at signing.

Maddox is top-15 in the NFL in catches allowed (33), his 45 tackles are 10th among cornerbacks, and he’s also logged four pass breakups, an interception, and two forced fumbles.

With Darius Slay getting older and Steven Nelson set to be a free agent, locking up Maddox long-term is a wise investment.

Why Avonte Maddox is next in line for a contract extension with Eagles

Eagles talented slot cornerback Avonte Maddox appears to be next in line for a contract extension with free agency approaching

The Eagles selected five players during the 2018 NFL Draft, with everyone except Matt Pryor still on the roster and flourishing.

With Dallas Goedert signing a 4-year, $59 million, extension, Philadelphia now has three of four signed long term with Jordan Mailata and Josh Sweat getting new deals as well. That leaves only slot cornerback Avonte Maddox, but according to Mike Kaye of NJ.com, Goedert’s roommate is most certainly next.

“According to two separate sources, the Eagles and Avonte Maddox are discussing a contract extension and there’s optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days or weeks.”
