Randall Cunningham’s not scrambling anymore: How the ‘Ultimate Weapon’ found peace - The Athletic
As the years passed and old wounds healed, he rarely made it back to Philadelphia for games. When he did, he’d go in disguise, pulling his hoodie tight and slipping on his sunglasses. He wanted to sit in a suite where he could watch in peace. He didn’t want to sign autographs. He didn’t want to pose for pictures. He didn’t want to relive the past. Then, at February’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, he ditched the disguise. No suite. No hoodie. No sunglasses. Instead, the 62-year-old wore a head-to-toe Eagles “Flysuit” with his name and number on the back. For three hours, Randall Cunningham cheered like a Philly diehard while his old team thumped the Chiefs for the franchise’s second Super Bowl. “Greatest game I’ve been to,” he says. A few hours later, he pulled out his phone and fired off a text. “What I didn’t fulfill,” he wrote to Jalen Hurts, “I’m fulfilling through you.”
Eagles sign rookie minicamp tryout wide receiver/returner - BGN
Jackson is signing with the Eagles as an undrafted rookie free agent after not being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old attended Philly’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis and apparently impressed the team enough to warrant a roster spot. Jackson attended Michigan from 2019-2020 before transferring to Washington, where he played from 2021-2024. The majority of the super senior’s production came last year, when he had 85 receptions for 893 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He also logged 33 rushing attempts over six years for 183 rushing yards (5.5 average) and two rushing scores. Jackson also brings returning experience to the table. He returned 71 kickoffs for a 24.4 average and two touchdowns. He returned 25 punts for a 7.2 average.
The Eagles have a simple-but-smart approach on Day 3 of the draft - PhillyVoice
The Eagles made eight picks on Day 3 of the 2025 draft. They understand that their batting average isn’t going to be high on Day 3 prospects. Maybe two or three of those guys will eventually become starters. If so, it will be a great draft, as Roseman said. Maybe they won’t find any starters among those eight guys. But if you draft a prospect to be a backup and that’s exactly what you get, then you basically just wasted a pick on a player you could have found in any number of other ways that would’ve cost you nothing.
A.J. Brown proposes to girlfriend with the help of John Legend - ESPN
A.J. Brown announced his proposal to his girlfriend Kelsey Riley on Saturday — with the help of none other than John Legend. It’s been a ring-filled few months for the wide receiver, who helped the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in February. Now, Brown will add a...
