Since Donald Trump said they would invite the champs to the White House, Philadelphia Eagles fans have been waiting eagerly to see when it would happen. Now, it looks like the wait is over because the Eagles have reportedly made a decision about visiting the White House.
After many rumors and confusion in the NFL media, on February 25, Donald Trump confirmed he would invite the Super Bowl champs to the White House. Everyone was excited, but some felt uneasy because of the Eagles’ past with Trump.
In 2018, Trump took back the White House invitation for the Super Bowl 52 champion Philadelphia Eagles after some players said they wouldn’t go. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie had also openly criticized Trump. So, many wondered if the team would visit him this time.
According to John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles have accepted the invitation to visit Trump at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl 59 win. The team is working with the White House to finalize the date and details. It looks like this year’s visit is really happening.
Philadelphia Eagles part ways with CB Darius Slay
The Philadelphia Eagles have made a shocking move by letting go of veteran cornerback Darius Slay. The decision, made on March 3, 2025, has been made to save the team about $4.3 million in salary cap space.
Slay, a six-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ, has been a key part of the Eagles’ defense since 2020. Even though he played well during their recent Super Bowl run, the team decided to release him as a post-June 1 cut.
The news hit his wife, Jennifer Slay, so hard. She shared her feelings on social media with just two emotional words: “Real Tears.”
