Not only does Howie Roseman know how to evaluate talent – he also knows how to evaluate personalities.

Roseman, of course, built the Super Bowl LIX-winning Philadelphia Eagles, and is now widely considered one of the best general managers in the National Football League.

And while winning is the most important facet of a football team, Roseman has striven to make sure that that winning team is filled with "really good people."

In March, Roseman revealed one of his "dealbreakers" when it comes to evaluating players and bringing them to Philly.

"There are just objective things that even I can't overrule… Violence against women. It's just not for us. I wouldn't even watch them; I don’t even want to talk about it. It's just a deal-breaker for us," Roseman said to Todd McShay last month. "So, I can’t go. ‘Oh, but he's really good, and he did it 10 years ago, and he learned from it.' It just doesn’t work for us."

Roseman reflected on that evaluation process during his pre-draft media availability this week.

NFL DRAFT PROSPECT ABDUL CARTER DISHES ON HIS FAVORITE ACTIVE PLAYER

"We have a process, we have an objective process that we use. We live in a country where you're innocent until proven guilty, and so we try to abide by the judicial process. But I think to get into the details of what we do, that's part of our internal dynamics that I probably wouldn't want to get into," Roseman said, via OutKick. 

"But certainly we try not to make it subjective, is basically what I would say, [so we don’t] get in a situation where we really like a player [and] make excuses for that player. So, we try to have objective criteria when it comes to the issues that you're asking me about, but it is important to us, the people that we bring in this building and that we know we can win with really good people. 

"We also know that young people make mistakes in other areas, but that was one that was on my heart when I was talking about it and something that we believe in as an organization."

Of course, that's not to say Roseman won't bring in players with troubled pasts – Jalen Carter was the ninth overall pick to Philly (they traded up to get him) despite being involved in a street race that resulted in the deaths of his former Georgia teammate and a university staffer. 

Carter was charged with reckless driving and pleaded no contest.

But, domestic violence is off limits, and despite some of the game's best players having prior issues, it doesn't seem like it's affecting Roseman one bit.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith is "sick" of watching his Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl drought. 

The Philadelphia Eagles winning two Super Bowls, including February's, only adds to the frustration.

"I’m sick of it," Smith told Sports Radio 94WIP. "We have allowed others to nitpick at the star and make fun of the star, and that’s what happens. Now, all of a sudden, over the last 20 years, [Eagles] win two Super Bowls, and they think they’re the best thing on the planet. And everywhere I go, I hear ‘Go Birds.’ 

"I’m sick of hearing ‘Go Birds.’ I’m always asking, ‘Where are you going?’ You still got a long way to go to get to us."

Smith was talking about the five Super Bowl titles Dallas has in its trophy case, three of which they won in 1993, 1994 and 1996 while Smith was leading the Cowboys’ backfield.

It is true the Cowboys have more titles than the Eagles, who have two. But those two have come in the last seven years. The Eagles won their first in 2018 before defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in February. 

The Eagles are primed to have another great season, assuming they shore up a couple holes on defense. Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown lead a potent offense.

COWBOYS' DAK PRESCOTT SAYS HE COULD ‘DEFINITELY’ PLAY ‘TODAY’ AS HE RECOVERS FROM HAMSTRING INJURY

But Smith feels like three decades of not making it back to the NFC championship, let alone the Super Bowl, used to be unthinkable.

"That part bugs me," he said of Eagles fans taunting him about the Cowboys’ drought. "It bugs me because in my heart I truly believe our organization should be contending for an NFC championship and even a Super Bowl at least once or twice every decade because every team recycles every decade. 

"For us not to be there over the last 30 years is a crying shame."

The Cowboys looked like a team destined to make a playoff run during three straight 12-5 seasons from 2021-23. However, Dak Prescott & Co. lost two wild-card games in 2021 and 2023, and they fell in the divisional round to the San Francisco 49ers in 2022. 

The Cowboys have not made it past the divisional round since they won it all in 1996, a season in which Dallas went 12-4 and Smith rushed for 1,204 yards with 12 touchdowns. 

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been adamant in saying he'll do whatever he can to make the roster or coaching staff better. But he has been criticized this offseason for his hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as the team’s new head coach after letting Mike McCarthy go. 

McCarthy had led the Cowboys since the 2020 campaign. But after a 7-10 season in which Prescott's campaign ended early due to a hamstring injury, they parted ways. 

The Cowboys haven’t been too aggressive in free agency, and all eyes will be on the 2025 NFL Draft next week when they pick 12th overall in the first round.

Saquon Barkley already got to hang with members of the Trump family before meeting President Donald Trump later this month.

Barkley is the star running back of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who took home their second Lombardi Trophy in February.

The Birds were invited to the White House shortly after their 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and they will visit April 28.

Before that, Barkley attended the J.P. Morgan Tech 100 Summit, which Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, attended with husband Jared Kushner, their son Theodore and Jared's brother, Joshua.

"Had an amazing time at the J.P. Morgan tech 100 summit! Want to give a shoutout to Madhu for having me out. Want to also give a shoutout to everyone who made it amazing," Barkley posted on X.

Barkley included four photos from the event in the post, one of which included him speaking on a panel with Tom Brady and another with Trump and Theodore.

Barkley also signed Theodore's ball, "A future star!"

Earlier this year, Ivanka was paid a visit by Tua Tagovailoa and Braxton Berrios.

The Eagles' invite to the White House was somewhat controversial. There had been online rumors the team would turn down an invitation, just as it did seven years ago.

DESHAUN WATSON POSTS CRYPTIC MESSAGE AFTER BROWNS OWNER'S COMMENTS

However, Karoline Leavitt said the team "enthusiastically accepted" this year.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said earlier this week  he was "really excited" for the opportunity.

"I'm really excited to go, yeah. What an honor. What an honor to be able to go to the White House. Teams that have been able to win championships have been doing that for a long time, and I'm really honored to go and really excited to go," Sirianni said this week.

The Florida Panthers recently visited the president to celebrate their Stanley Cup victory last summer, and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be visiting Sunday after defeating the New York Yankees in the World Series in October.

Philadelphia sports fans are some of the most passionate in the country, and they are never afraid to speak their minds when it comes to their teams. 

Even at a local council meeting. 

One Philadelphia Eagles fan called out Mayor Ed Brown of Upper Darby Township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, located just outside of the city. 

The fan had complaints about Brown’s leadership, but not because of the job he's done.

It was because of the team Brown roots for, the Eagles’ NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys. 

The moment was caught on camera, and the fan voiced his displeasure with the team his mayor roots for. 

EAGLES' CELEBRATION AT TRUMP WHITE HOUSE A ‘GOOD THING,’ TEAM OWNER SAYS

"This is what happens, guys — residents of Upper Darby Township — when you elect a Cowboys fan to your government," the fan said. "Twenty-nine years of losing for this team. What do you expect from the leadership?

"This is a Cowboys fan. This guy follows the Cowboys. We’re talking about the Cowboys … not a championship contender, not a championship contender. We’re talking about the Cowboys."

Brown is a 28-year resident of Upper Darby and has held a number of leadership roles, including as a director for the Upper Darby School District. 

The Eagels fan, though, did have his facts straight about the Cowboys’ past 29 years. They have not won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season, which is also the last time they played in one. 

Jerry Jones' Dallas squad has made the playoffs 13 times since that win, including three in the last four seasons, but it was all for naught. The Cowboys have not reached the NFC championship game since the 1995 season. 

The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in February to secure the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy.

The NFL decided to table a vote that would outlaw the tush push until May during the owners’ meetings on Tuesday. 

Players and coaches alike have weighed in on the play, from health concerns to the competitive advantage it has given the Philadelphia Eagles because of their unparalleled success with it.

Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce has a reminder for those who want the play banned due to health and safety concerns. 

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

"Like I understand the whole if you want to say it’s not safe, football isn’t a safe game to play. So I know we’re trying to make it safer or whatever, like it is what it is," Kelce said during a recent episode of "New Heights."

"I think it’s a football type of play, it’s a toughness play that you need to be in sync with the guys next to you and the guys around you and that’s on both sides of the ball. I don’t think we need to be banning this."

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who ran the tush push with Jalen Hurts and Co., does not believe the play leads to an increase in injury. 

JASON AND KYLIE KELCE INTRODUCE TRAVIS TO NIECE IN HEARTWARMING MOMENT

"For me personally, I never felt like there’s that much more of a risk of injuring somebody on the play and I don’t think there’s any statistics to back that up. So anybody saying that it’s going to lead to more injuries is pure conjecture, not rooted in fact. I think the only argument I see for potentially banning it is, is there a competitive advantage?" Jason said. 

"Like the play sucks to run. But it sucks because of like an exertion, like an energy level, it takes so much to try and get a yard. It’s not a high-impact collision. There’s not, for the most part, people don’t even get rolled up on because you’re keeping your feet moving. It’s not going to be a play, in my opinion, where you’re going to see this huge increase in chance of risk of injury. I don’t think it’s really that dangerous from a health perspective."

Jason said that if the play does get banned, he expects the Eagles to still have a lot of success running a traditional quarterback sneak. 

Travis questioned what other traditional football plays could be banned next if the tush push is deemed illegal. 

"How far down the line does it go> Are players on the defense not allowed to hold guys up now to try and have somebody come in and get a strip? At what point are we just going to let football be football?" Travis said.

In May, the owners will reconvene and determine the fate of the tush push, and whether football will be football.

The Philadelphia Eagles accepted President Donald Trump’s invitation to the White House to celebrate their 2025 Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs despite rumors to the contrary.

Eagles team owner Jeffrey Lurie addressed the decision to go to the White House years after a feud between players and the president over national anthem protests led to Trump rescinding an invite.

"We just felt this is a time-honored tradition being invited by the White House," Lurie said Wednesday, via Pro Football Talk.

"So, there was no reticence whatsoever. To be celebrated at the White House is a good thing. There were special circumstances (in 2018) that were very different, and so this was kind of an obvious choice and look forward to it. …

"When you grow up, and you hear about, ‘Oh, the championship team got to go to the White House,’ that’s what this is. And, so, we didn’t have that opportunity and now we do. I think we’re all looking forward to it."

Lurie added that it was "totally optional" for the players to attend and that the acceptance of the invitation was in no way political.

Trump was in attendance to watch the Eagles dismantle the Chiefs, but he didn’t stay for the entire game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Ohio State Buckeyes are also scheduled to visit Trump.

Jason and Kylie Kelce welcomed their fourth daughter, Finnley "Finn" Anne Kelce, on March 30.

While they were recording, Jason looked and saw Kylie with Finn and asked Travis if he wanted to meet his niece.

"Yes, I want to see my new niece, Jason. You only sent one picture. You didn’t even tell me what name you picked yet," Travis said with a laugh.

"Hey little muffin, look at you, just hanging out with mom," Travis said when Finn came on the screen. Tell Ky I said hello, I’m glad everything went great."

Jason handed the headphones over to Kylie, who held Finn in view of the camera. 

"Hey Ky, Jason hasn’t told me if you guys had picked a name yet. Is this still a nameless baby?" Travis asked. 

"No, she has a name, we had to fill out birth certificate paperwork," Kylie said. "Well, you can technically leave without it, but we wouldn’t remember to fill out the f---ing paperwork after that," she said while laughing. 

Kylie said Jason refused to let the name just be Finn and insisted on Finnley. Jason then held the headphones around Finn’s head and let Travis talk to her.

"Hey Finn, you just look adorable. I don’t even have anything to say to you. You happy to be out, huh?" Travis asked the newborn. 

Jason asked a question to Finn in jest, "How was Kylie’s uterus?"

Kylie and Travis both laughed. 

"Too comfy that’s why we had to evict her," Kylie said.

With the headphones still on Finn, Travis said, "Get this guy out of here, I’m sorry your father’s a weirdo."

After Kylie and Finn left the screen, Travis thanked Jason for the introduction. 

"Watching a birth is still one of the most crazy things that you can ever witness and there’s a moment right when you see any baby I feel like that’s just overwhelming," Jason said. 

Jason retired from the NFL after he spent 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. While his day job may have ended at playing center, his full-time job of being a dad to four daughters has only just begun.

A vote to decide whether the tush push will be outlawed from the NFL has been pushed until May.

At the annual league meetings on Tuesday, NFL team owners agreed to table the vote on a proposal to ban the play that became the Philadelphia Eagles' calling card over the past couple of seasons. 

The postponement means debates over the play will rage on as teams and the league gather more information. Tush push proponents have presented arguments on why the play should continue to be part of the game, while those who oppose it have made a case for getting rid of it.

While the tush push, also colloquially referred to as the "Brotherly Shove," is safe for the time being, Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson sent a clear message to critics.

FALCONS HEAD COACH EXPRESSES DISTASTE FOR EAGLES' TUSH PUSH: 'SHOULD'VE BEEN ILLEGAL 3 YEARS AGO'

The six-time Pro Bowler suggested any team that took issue with the play was jealous. "Hate us cause they ain't us!" Johnson wrote on X Tuesday.

While other teams have adopted similar versions of the tush push over the past couple of seasons, none have successfully run it like the Eagles. Philadelphia's offensive line as well as quarterback Jalen Hurts' lower-body strength seem to create the perfect formula for the short-yardage play.

The Eagles used a pair of emojis on X as they appeared to chime in amid the latest tush push chatter.

The spotlight was placed on the tush push during the NFC Championship game when Washington Commanders players intentionally jumped offsides to try and stop the play. 

While the NFL has said it has not gathered enough data to conclude that the tush push is an inherently dangerous play, some coaches and others around the league continue to have health and safety concerns.

Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie addressed those concerns at the annual meetings.

"I think for everybody, including myself especially – health and safety is the most important thing when evaluating any play," Lurie said. "We've been very open to whatever data exists on the Tush Push, there's just been no data that shows that it isn't a very, very safe play. If it weren't, we wouldn't be pushing the Tush Push."

It sure seems like any speculation that the Philadelphia Eagles wouldn't want to visit the president is out the window.

There were rumors floating shortly after the Birds won the Super Bowl that they would not attend the White House to celebrate the victory, but those were nixed.

President Donald Trump extended the invite, and the team will go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. on April 28.

Trump said the Eagles "deserve" to be at the White House as champions — they stopped the Kansas City Chiefs from becoming the first team to threepeat in Super Bowl history with a 40-22 beatdown.

Trump rescinded his invite for the Super Bowl LII team in 2018 after some players refused to visit the White House due to Trump’s criticism of those who knelt or raised their fists during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice and police brutality.

But this year's team is different, and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is looking forward to the opportunity.

Trump, in attendance for the game, predicted that the Chiefs would make history, but the Eagles took an early lead and never looked back.

The hotly-debated tush push was the topic du jor among NFL coaches at the annual league meeting on Monday as new reports surfaced over the effort to ban the play from use.

The Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal that would effectively ban the play, which became famous thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles and their success with it.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

The Packers' official rule change proposal would "prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap." The proposal added that a penalty would be assessed on any offensive player who violates the rule.

League staff presented the rule proposals during a football operations meeting on Sunday, and the issue of the Packers’ proposal sparked a "heated" discussion, ESPN reported. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur both declined to talk about it with ESPN.

However, it did not stop other coaches from discussing it when the meeting got into full gear on Monday.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he was "open-minded" about getting rid of the tush push.

"The first time I saw it, I couldn’t believe that it was legal because it was illegal on the field goal," he said, via The Athletic. "That being said, you hate to be against it, because when people are innovative, you want to respect that. 

"There’s certainly been some teams that have been more innovative than the rest of us … We hate to penalize them for it. But we got into the discussion on the field goal block because of player safety and so that still remains to be a component of the discussion."

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott also mentioned the notion of safety when it came to the possibility of banning the play, according to Pro Football Talk.

A source disputed the safety aspect in an interview with ESPN.

"It's not about player safety. It's just a different play and it just looks different," the source said.

The furor around the tush push escalated during the Eagles’ NFC Championship win over the Washington Commanders.

Commanders players attempted to jump offsides to try to stop the play from the goal line. However, the constant offsides penalties resulted in a warning from NFL officials, who said the Eagles could have been awarded a score if Washington kept committing the penalty.

ESPN reported that the push-sneak play was only used less than 0.28% of the time.

The Green Bay Packers want the tush push out of the NFL, but there are two other rule changes that will be voted on, the league’s football operations department announced Wednesday. 

It was reported the Packers were the team that sent in a formal proposal to ban the play the Philadelphia Eagles have made famous.

But it’s official now after football operations made it known the Packers wish to change Rule 12, Section 1. 

The Packers' official rule change proposal would "prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap." 

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

The proposal also says a penalty would be assessed on any offensive player who violates the rule. The tush push was popularized by the Eagles during the 2022 campaign. Green Bay saw it last season, and the Eagles used it multiple times in their playoff matchup on the way to winning the Super Bowl. 

But the Packers weren’t the only team looking for changes in 2025. 

The second of three proposed rule changes was from the Detroit Lions, who wish to see Rule 8, Section 4, changed "to eliminate an automatic first down as a penalty imposed for defensive holding and illegal contact."

2025 NFL RULE CHANGES: TUSH PUSH BAN AMONG 8 PROPOSALS AHEAD OF LEAGUE MEETINGS

The current rule for illegal contact and defensive holding is a loss of five yards and an automatic first down, and the Lions say that is too steep a penalty. 

The Lombardi Trophy-winning Eagles are looking to "align the postseason and regular-season overtime rules by granting both teams an opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession, subject to a 15-minute overtime period in the regular season."

The overtime rule was long discussed before the NFL finally changed it to allow both teams a chance at having a possession only in the playoffs. The regular season has the old rules, which state a touchdown by the team first in possession of the football ends the game, giving the opponent no chance for rebuttal. 

The Lions are also looking for two bylaw proposals for the 2025 season at the annual league meeting. They want better seeding for wild-card teams. 

They propose that the structure of playoff seeding change to allow wild-card teams with better records than division champions to be seeded higher in the playoffs. No matter the record, the four division winners in each conference get a home game to begin the playoffs. 

Some wild-card teams finish with better records than their opponents in the wild-card round. 

In 2024, the Minnesota Vikings went 14-3 during the regular season and had to travel to face the Los Angeles Rams, winners of the NFC South at 10-7, on the road. The Vikings lost 27-9 in the wild-card round. The Packers also had a better record than the Rams at 11-6 but were the seventh seed. 

All of these changes will be voted on during the annual meeting, which begins March 30.

Two-time Super Bowl champion Brandon Graham announced his retirement from the NFL in a press conference on Tuesday. 

Graham, 36, spent his entire 15-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles after being drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft out of Michigan.

"First, I just want to say thank you to everybody, y’all know I gave everything I had, and I don’t have no regrets. That’s one thing I tell the young boys: Don’t have no regrets," an emotional Graham said.

"First, I just want to say, 15 years ago I walked into this city as a young man with dreams, big dreams. A little bit of nervousness and a whole lot of fire in my heart. I had no idea back then what this journey would bring. I didn’t know how many times I would be tested, I didn’t know how much I would grow, and I surely didn’t know how deeply I would fall in love with these fans, and the team, and this city," Graham continued as he fought back the tears.

"Today as I sit here, I just want to thank God, 'cause I know he was the main reason."

No one has played more games in Eagles history than Graham (206), and he is third on the franchise’s all-time sack list with 76.5 sacks. 

"Without question, Brandon Graham is the embodiment of everything you would want in a Philadelphia Eagle. He’s a special player and a special person. It’s only fitting that he has played in more games than anyone else in the history of our franchise," Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement.

EAGLES' WHITE HOUSE VISIT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DATE SET

"The positive energy he brought every day was infectious, whether it was a practice, a game, or just walking around the building, Anyone who has had the pleasure of interacting with him would tell you that it’s impossible to have a bad day after being in his presence. Make no mistake, he was also a tough, physical and talented player who has played an integral role in the success we’ve had over the years."

Graham is responsible for one of the most iconic plays in Eagles history.

In the Eagles' Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots in 2018, Graham strip-sacked Tom Brady with 2:11 left in the fourth quarter to seal the 41-33 win for the Eagles. 

In the Eagles' most recent Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs in February, Graham returned to play after missing the prior 11 weeks with a triceps injury. 

Graham played 13 snaps in the win but re-tore his triceps, according to a report from NFL reporter Derrick Gunn. 

Graham had 3.5 sacks in 20 tackles in 11 regular-season games last season.

A date has officially been set for the Philadelphia Eagles' White House visit with President Donald Trump to celebrate last month's Super Bowl victory.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday the team will make its visit April 28. 

Leavitt also took a jab at reports about whether an invitation would be sent after what occurred in 2018.

As the 45th president of the United States at the time, Trump rescinded his invitation to the Eagles after their Super Bowl victory over the Patriots after some players said they wouldn’t attend.

This time around, Trump acknowledged he wanted to get the Eagles to the nation’s capital to celebrate, and that’s exactly what will happen.

"I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn’t sent or was sent. We want to correct the record: We sent an invitation. They enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28," Leavitt said during her daily White House briefing Tuesday.

EAGLES ‘ENTHUSIASTICALLY ACCEPTED’ PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WHITE HOUSE INVITE AFTER SUPER BOWL WIN, OFFICIAL SAYS

Trump was present at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans Feb. 9 to watch the Eagles dominate the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22. He also noted last month he wanted the Eagles to visit the White House. 

"We haven’t yet, but we will be," Trump said about sending an invitation. "I thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely, they'll be extended an invitation. We'll do it right away. We'll do it some time today. They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them."

Eagles captain Lane Johnson said a White House visit would be a "team decision" after they won the Super Bowl. 

Johnson, who has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the franchise, was on the team when it won the organization’s first-ever Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2018, defeating the New England Patriots. 

However, controversy ensued that year when Trump rescinded his invitation to the Eagles after some players said they wouldn’t visit the White House due to the 45th president’s criticism of those who knelt or raised their fists during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality. 

Trump released a statement at the time about canceling his invitation, saying that "the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better."

"They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country," Trump’s statement seven years ago said.

The turnover of the Philadelphia Eagles defense continued on Tuesday when C.J. Gardner-Johnson's name was linked to trade reports.

The defensive back was traded to the Houston Texans in exchange for offensive lineman Kenyon Green, according to multiple reports. The trade package will also send a 2026 fifth-round draft pick to the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles. In addition to Gardner-Johnson, Houston will acquire a future sixth-round pick.

The 2024 season marked Gardner-Johnson's second stint with the Eagles after initially playing with Philadelphia in 2022. He departed after that season and spent the 2023 campaign with the Detroit Lions.

Gardner-Johnson rejoined the Eagles last year and signed a three-year deal with the team.

He was a key part of the Eagles' vaunted defense this past year and finished the regular season with six interceptions. Gardner-Johnson also recorded six interceptions with the Eagles two seasons ago. 

Despite the likelihood of him wearing a different uniform next season, Gardner-Johnson suggested the Eagles and the city of Philadelphia will continue to hold a special place in his heart.

"I love you Philly, we forever champions," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Gardner-Johnson's relationship with the Eagles fanbase has appeared to be tense at times. Shortly after his first stint with the team ended, he characterized at least some Philadelphia residents as "obnoxious."

"My least favorite thing ... is the people," Gardner-Johnson said during a Twitch live stream in 2023. "They’re f----g obnoxious, I f-----g can't stand the f-----s." He added that he did enjoy the city's weather.

Gardner-Johnson handled the starting safety duties for the Eagles in 2024 and recorded three tackles during the team's 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

The 27-year-old sparked some controversy shortly after the Eagles won the second Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history when he took aim at Travis Kelce — and effectively at his romantic partner Taylor Swift — in a social media post.

In a vulgar caption of a photo of himself engaging with Kelce on the football field, Gardner-Johnson suggested Kelce "should've stayed" with his ex-girlfriend. He doubled down on his stance when he arrived at the Eagles Super Bowl victory parade with a hoodie that read, "Swifties can LIX my b----."

A Florida restaurant owned by Gardner-Johnson's mother, Del Johnson, was then targeted by some fans who took offense to the message displayed on the NFL star's attire. The Kings Grill in Rockledge, Florida received a flurry of negative Yelp reviews.

Fans of singer Taylor Swift, who are often referred to as "Swifties," appeared to be responsible for at least the initial stream of bad Google reviews and negative Yelp reviews for the Kings Grill. The unfavorable reviews were later removed and Yelp placed an "unusual activity alert" on the restaurant's page which "temporarily disabled the posting of content."

While the Eagles were able to retain linebacker Zack Baun, Josh Sweat and Milton Williams reportedly agreed to deals with other NFL teams this week. Meanwhile, defensive backs Darius Slay and James Bradberry were released.

Philadelphia did appear to address its backup quarterback role by trading Kenny Pickett to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be heading to the White House at the invitation of President Donald Trump to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last month. 

"We sent the invite and they enthusiastically accepted. We are working with them to determine a date and logistics," a White House official told Fox News Digital. 

A team spokesperson also confirmed to Fox News Digital that "the Philadelphia Eagles organization has accepted an invitation to visit the White House and is currently working on scheduling a date and logistics."

There were questions about whether the Eagles would accept an invitation after not doing so in 2018, but Trump told The Spectator late last month that the team would be visiting this time around. 

"They’re coming here. Philadelphia is coming here," Trump told the outlet. 

Trump also announced the invite to the team last month. 

EAGLES TO RECEIVE WHITE HOUSE INVITE AFTER SUPER BOWL LIX WIN, TRUMP SAYS

"They will be [invited]. We haven't yet, but we will be," said Trump, who was in the Caesars Superdome to watch the Eagles beat the Chiefs, 40-22. "I thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely, they'll be extended an invitation. We'll do it right away. We'll do it some time today. They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them."

Eagles captain Lane Johnson said a White House visit would be a "team decision" after they won the Super Bowl. 

"I’d be honored to go, regardless of who the president is, but we’ll see," Johnson said via Sportico’s Eric Jackson. "It’s ultimately a team decision. I’ll do what’s best for the team."

Johnson, who has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the franchise, was on the team when it won the organization’s first-ever Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2018, defeating the New England Patriots. 

However, controversy ensued that year when Trump rescinded his invitation to the Eagles as some players said they wouldn’t visit the White House due to the then-45th president’s criticism of those who kneeled or raised their fists during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality. 

Trump released a statement at the time regarding his invitation cancellation, saying that "the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better."

"They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country," Trump’s statement read seven years ago. 

Seven years later, both parties are ready to celebrate a different win. 

As both sides noted, time and logistics must be worked out as next steps to making the visit.

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to lose defensive linemen in NFL free agency as edge rusher Josh Sweat finds a new home in the league. 

Sweat and the Arizona Cardinals have reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year deal worth $76.4 million with $41 million fully guaranteed, per ESPN. 

The Eagles also saw defensive tackle Milton Williams head to the New England Patriots on a four-year deal worth $104 million with $63 million guaranteed.

For Sweat, he reunites with his former defensive coordinator in Philadelphia, Jonathan Gannon, who is head coach of the Cardinals. Gannon was in that role in 2021 and 2022 when Sweat had the best two-year performance of his career. 

An improved pass rush is something the Cardinals needed, and they wasted no time getting a familiar face for Gannon.

Sweat is also coming off one of his better seasons in Philadelphia, the team that took him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Sweat tallied eight sacks, nine tackles for loss, 41 combined tackles and two passes defended over 16 games.

But the 27-year-old's best game of the year came in Super Bowl LIX, getting Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the ground with 2.5 sacks and three quarterback hits in the 44-20 win. 

Over his seven years with the Eagles, Sweat has tallied 43 sacks, 237 combined tackles (54 for loss), seven forced fumbles and one pick-six in 104 career games. 

Sweat joins a Cardinals team that also sees Justin Jones, Baron Browning and Zavn Collins among their other linebackers.

After watching the Kansas City Chiefs’ poor performance in last month's Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles, one Buffalo Bills star says his squad would have had a "better chance" at winning. 

Kansas City had a letdown game in New Orleans, losing 40-22, and the score didn’t necessarily reflect the overall outing the team had. The Eagles were dominant on both sides of the ball before allowing 16 points in the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach. 

To get to their third straight Super Bowl, the Chiefs had to get through the Bills yet again, and they did the job at home despite it coming down to the wire in the end.

After watching what the Chiefs did, Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins is confident his team would’ve done much better against Philadelphia.

"We would’ve put on a better show in the Super Bowl," Dawkins told "The Pivot Podcast."

Dawkins was in New Orleans for Super Bowl week and attended the game at the Caesars Superdome.

TRAVIS KELCE HAS A ‘BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH’ AFTER ANALYZING CHIEFS' SUPER BOWL FILM: ‘LET MY GUYS DOWN’

While he accepted another postseason loss to the Chiefs, Dawkins was confident in assessing how it all went down. 

"Now, after going to the Super Bowl and seeing it and feeling those emotions, not to say that we would’ve just went in there and beat the Eagles. We would’ve had a chance," Dawkins explained. "We would’ve had a better chance."

Dawkins has been with the Bills eight seasons and has the important job of protecting MVP quarterback Josh Allen’s blindside. He was a second-round pick out of Temple in 2017. 

With the Bills, Dawkins has experienced success during the regular season, leading to playoff berths in all but one of his seasons. 

However, the Chiefs have knocked them out of the playoffs four different times. All four of those have come in the last five seasons. 

Allen and the Bills’ offense were unable to come back at Arrowhead Stadium once again as the Chiefs’ defense came up clutch, and Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense got the necessary first downs to ice the victory. 

Buffalo must first reach the Super Bowl to test Dawkins' theory. 

And it’s likely the Chiefs will continue to be a team the Bills have to go through to make that happen.

Saquon Barkley's record-breaking contract with the Philadelphia Eagles has some fine print that Travis Kelce isn't glossing over. 

During this week's episode of Kelce's podcast "New Heights" with his brother Jason, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end called out the Eagles for the many incentives included in Barkley's contract. 

Barkley's two-year, $41.2 million deal, with a $20.6 million per year salary, made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.

However, only $36 million of that deal is guaranteed, while Barkley can earn an additional $15 million if he fulfills certain incentives. 

"Eww," Kelce said in response to the incentive aspect of Barkley's deal. "I don't like that one bit.... Does he have to get a 2,000-yard season every year?"

PETE ROSE TALKS HALL OF FAME INDUCTION IN ONE OF FINAL INTERVIEWS BEFORE DEATH

The incentive clauses in Barkley's new contract are unknown at this time. His previous contract, which he signed with the Eagles last offseason, included incentives for earning first-team All-Pro honors, rushing for at least 1,000 and then 1,500 yards, and victories in each round of the playoffs. 

Barkley ended up cashing in on all of those, with 2,005 rushing yards on 345 carries with 13 rushing scores while catching 33 passes for 278 yards with two more touchdowns. He was then the centerpiece on their playoff run to Super Bowl LIX, where they beat Kelce's Chiefs. 

And now, Kelce doesn't approve of the incentives in Barkley's deal, especially the ones that are based on team success, like playoff wins. 

"So you have to rely on someone's vote to get your incentive?" Travis Kelce asked. "That's f---ed up."

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham tore his triceps 11 weeks before Super Bowl LIX, putting his status in doubt for the big game. 

Graham, 36, rehabbed from the injury and suited up in the Eagles' 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 15-year veteran played 13 snaps in the win, but re-tore his triceps, according to a report from NFL reporter Derrick Gunn.

"It'll feel great because you worked your butt off to get back," Graham said about playing in the Super Bowl in the week prior. "I know the team worked their butt off to get here, and I want to be there for them."

Graham said before the season that this would be his final year, but has not publicly declared whether he will retire since the Super Bowl win. 

Graham has played the most games of any player in Eagles history with 206, 13 more than Jason Kelce, who is second in franchise history with 193. 

ALL-PRO ZACK BAUN RETURNING TO REIGNING CHAMPION EAGLES ON HISTORIC 3-YEAR DEAL: REPORTS

Graham was one of two position players, and four overall, left from the Eagles’ championship team in the 2017 season to play in their Super Bowl win against the Chiefs. 

In the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, Graham strip-sacked Tom Brady with 2:11 left in the fourth quarter to seal the 41-33 win for the Eagles. 

In their 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl two years ago, Graham played 18 snaps without a tackle or sack.

Graham had 3.5 sacks in 20 tackles in 11 regular-season games last season.

The Philadelphia Eagles are retaining a key member of their defense. 

On Wednesday, ESPN reported the Eagles reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension with All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun.

The 28-year-old had a standout 2024 campaign, finishing the regular season with a career-high 3½ sacks and 151 tackles. He added two inceptions and was credited with a forced fumble during the Eagles' postseason run to the Super Bowl title.

Baun would likely have been a highly sought-after player if he entered free agency at the start of the NFL's new league March 12.

According to ESPN, Baun is returning to the Eagles on a three-year deal worth an estimated $51 million. The deal averages out to an annual salary of $17 million, which places Baun fourth among the highest-paid linebackers. He would also become the highest-paid linebacker in Eagles history once the deal becomes official.

Baun spent his first four NFL seasons with the New Orleans Saints before signing a one-year contract with Philadelphia in 2024. During last week's NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Eagles executive vice president/general manager Howie Roseman hinted that re-signing Baun was a priority.

"Obviously a phenomenal season — first-team All-Pro, top five defensive player of the year," Roseman said. "Tremendous person, tremendous character. Made a huge difference during the regular season, made a huge difference during the playoffs, made a huge difference in the Super Bowl. And, so, those are guys that you obviously want to keep. There’s no doubt about it. We’ll make a concerted effort to try to keep him here. But … obviously he has an opportunity to hit free agency."

Shortly after Philly's defense steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs in February's Super Bowl, Baun expressed his hope to remain in an Eagles uniform.

"My goal every time is to play the best football I can," he said on locker cleanout day. "Hopefully, it’s here. I love this place, and I really appreciate what they’ve done for my career and my family and just everything. Got a lot of options to weigh and stuff to think about."

The Eagles also rewarded Saquon Barkley earlier this week. The star running back agreed to a historic two-year extension worth $41.2 million, ESPN reported.

The contract makes Barkley the highest-paid player at his position in league history. He is also the first NFL running back with an annual salary of $20 million.
