Dae'Quan Wright

Wright went undrafted and signed with Philadelphia as a UDFA, putting him among the last candidates for a 53-man roster spot. UDFA TEs have historically poor retention rates, especially on teams with established depth.

The Eagles' TE room entering 2026 includes Dallas Goedert (re-signed 1yr/$7M), Eli Stowers (2nd-round draft pick), Grant Calcaterra, Johnny Mundt, Stone Smartt, Cameron Latu, and E.J. Jenkins — Wright is competing for what amounts to a practice squad spot.

Philadelphia invested a 2nd-round pick in Eli Stowers to serve as Goedert's heir apparent, effectively capping Wright's ceiling even if he sticks on the roster; the org is not developing him as a long-term solution.

Scouts consistently flagged Wright's blocking as inconsistent, with shoulder-only contact and incomplete engagement — a critical liability for a Y tight end trying to earn reps in a run-heavy Eagles system that demands physicality at the point of attack.

At 6'4"/246 lbs with elite YAC ability (2nd in FBS at 10.1 YAC/rec in 2025) and 16.3 YPC, Wright has the raw receiving tools to attract interest if he's released — a more TE-needy team could offer a better developmental opportunity.

If both Goedert and Stowers were to miss significant time, Wright's receiving athleticism would make him the most logical emergency target option in the room — though this scenario is speculative and unlikely to produce sustained dynasty value.
