Eagles agree to terms with Grant Calcaterra, Johnny Mundt The team adds depth to the tight end room with a pair of veterans.

MARCH 11 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Packs bags for Philly Mundt agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mundt quickly found a new home after being released by the Jaguars on Monday. The 31-year-old tight end played 385 offensive snaps last season but mostly stuck to a run-blocking role, catching just nine of 19 targets for 111 yards and no touchdowns. At the time of this report, Dallas Goedert still hasn't re-signed with the team, but the Eagles did sign Grant Calcaterra to a one-year deal, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mundt should be a key blocking piece to the Eagles' run-heavy attack, which frequently utilizes multiple tight ends, in 2026 regardless of Goedert's status with the team.

Let go by Jacksonville The Jaguars released Mundt on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mundt signed a two-year deal with the Jaguars in March of 2025 after spending the three prior years with the Vikings, but his time in Jacksonville will end after just one season. He caught nine passes (on 19 targets) for 111 yards across 16 regular-season games in 2025, when he served mostly as a run blocker and as a backup to Brenton Strange. Now that he's a free agent, Mundt should garner interest from teams looking to add a depth tight end who can serve as an extra blocker.

Secures one pass Week 18 Mundt caught his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans.

Impact The 31-year-old's 16-yard reception during the second quarter was his first catch since Week 12 in Arizona. Mundt played in 16 games this season while serving as a secondary tight end for the Jaguars, and he finished the regular season with nine catches for 111 yards. He's under contract with the Jaguars for 2026, but he carries a $3.25 million cap hit could be released with just a $500,000 dead cap penalty.

Healthy scratch Week 14 Mundt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

Impact Mundt is healthy, but he's going to miss his first game of the season. The veteran tight end has produced eight catches on 17 targets for 95 yards through 12 games on the campaign. Mundt appears to be fourth in the Jaguars' tight-end pecking order behind Brenton Strange, Quintin Morris and Hunter Long.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Notches two receptions Mundt caught two of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 35-6 win against the Chargers.

Impact The 30-year-old played 41 of 71 offensive snaps in the absences of Hunter Long (hip) and Brenton Strange (hip), while Quentin Morris led the way for Jacksonville's tight ends with 50 snaps. Mundt now has seven catches for 83 yards through 10 games this season and is likely to continue being sporadically involved in the Jaguars' aerial attack.

Catches one pass in win Mundt caught one pass for seven yards in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.

Impact With Brenton Strange (hip) missing the second half of the game, Mundt logged 34.5 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps in Week 5, but he was targeted just the one time. Even if Strange misses time, Mundt won't be a recommended fantasy target.

OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Past injury Mundt (upper body) played in Sunday's preseason game against the Saints.

Impact The veteran tight end missed the Jaguars' first exhibition but was able to play 16 offensive snaps versus New Orleans. He wasn't targeted in the contest and is expected to fill a blocking role behind Brenton Strange in 2025.

Won't play Saturday Mundt (upper body) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mundt has been limited in practice due to an upper body injury, and he'll be held out of Saturday's preseason opener to avoid aggravating the injury. He'll have two more chances to make an appearance during the preseason, with the next game taking place Sunday, Aug. 17 against the Saints. Quintin Morris, Patrick Herbert and Shawn Bowman are candidates to see an uptick in snaps at tight end due to Mundt's absence.

AUGUST 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Mundt (upper body) was a limited participant at the Jaguars' practice Sunday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact Mundt had been sidelined with an undisclosed upper-body injury for a series of practices. The tight end's return to practice opens the door for him to potentially play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing due to injury Mundt has missed the last several training camp practices due to an upper body injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

Impact Mundt joined the Jaguars on a two-year contract in March after spending the last three seasons with the Vikings. He's competing against Hunter Long for backup tight end duties behind Brenton Strange, so his injury comes at a bad time. Mundt will look to get himself healthy enough to suit up for the Jaguars' preseason opener against the Steelers on Aug. 9.

Landing with new squad Mundt is slated to sign a two-year, $5.5 million contract with the Jaguars, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mundt spent the last three seasons in Minnesota, most recently tying a career best with 19 receptions, which came on 27 targets, 142 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have an opportunity to earn a larger role with the Jaguars, who cut No. 1 tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) on Thursday.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Posts 142 yards in 2024 Mundt finished the 2024 regular season with 19 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets.

Impact Mundt enjoyed a larger role prior to T.J. Hockenson's return from a knee injury in Week 9, with 93 of Mundt's 142 yards coming while Hockenson was sidelined. The 30-year-old Mundt added two catches for 28 yards on three targets in the wild-card round, but the Vikings were eliminated from playoff contention with a 27-9 loss to the Rams. Mundt will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Scores TD in win Mundt had two receptions for 22 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, on two targets in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Impact Mundt got increased plahing time with Josh Oliver out with an ankle injury. He played on 22 of the offense's 53 snap while starter T.J. Hockenson played on 34 snaps. While Hockenson is clearly the top tight end, Mundt has two targets inside the 10-yard line while Hockenson has none since he returned from a knee injury. That trend could be a fluke, but Mundt at least offers some touchdown hope despite minimal usage (five targets in five games since Hockensen returned).

Minimal role on offense Mundt did not have a target or reception in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.

Impact Mundt played just 18 snaps on offense and went out on three routes, as he's moved to a small role with the return of T. J. Hockenson from a knee injury.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No catches in Week 9 Mundt failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.

Impact Mundt slid to the No. 3 spot at tight end with T.J. Hockenson returning to the field in Week 9 after missing the first seven games of the season while recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in 2023. Mundt was limited to a season-low 19 offensive snaps and he'll continue to operate behind Hockenson and Josh Oliver moving forward.
