Philadelphia Eagles

Lore & Background

In December 2024, the Eagles became one of the first teams in the NFL to sell an ownership stake to outside investors. The deal sold 8% of the franchise at a valuation of $8.3 billion.

In Their Own Story

Kenneth Pickett joined the Eagles on March 16, 2024, when he was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers along with a 2024 fourth-round pick (No. 120; Jaylen Wright) in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick (No. 98; Payton Wilson) and two 2025 seventh-round picks (No. 223 went to the Seattle Seahawks where they selected Damien Martine). The trade came after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson in the 2024 offseason and Pickett requested a trade. Pickett spent one season as a backup with the Eagles and was a member of the team that won Super Bowl LIX.

The Eagles rank among the best teams in the NFL for attendance and have sold out every home game continuously since the 1999 season. The team's history includes the 1943 merger with the Pittsburgh Steelers to form the 'Steagles' due to player shortages during World War II. The Eagles' early rosters largely consisted of former Penn, Temple, and Villanova players.
