The Philadelphia Eagles have more to do.
But at least they have a single tight under contract now (once deals become official on Wednesday).
On Tuesday night, the Eagles signed Johnny Mundt, the great blocking TE, most recently of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The contract was reported by NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
The Eagles were in a major spot of need at tight end for this offseason. They lost all their TEs to free agency, although none of them have signed elsewhere yet and could still be signed back.
Dallas Goedert is a free agent.
So too is Grant Calcaterra.
Even the No. 3 TE, Kylen Granson, hit the open market.

That meant the Eagles had no choice but to evaluate the whole tight end market and see what they could do this offseason.
They'll likely still need to find a tight end who is a better pass catcher than Mundt, but he's a good start.
Mundt was originally an undrafted player out of Oregon.
He played five seasons for the Rams, then three for the Vikings, and then 2025 with the Jags.
Mundt showed more receiving prowess with the Vikings than he had with the Rams, catching 55 passes in three seasons.
Last season for the Jaguars, Mundt had nine grabs for 111 yards.
He'll certainly help the Philly running game, which is obviously a key part of the offense, so it's a solid move for the Eagles.
