Welcome to our in-depth (less) look at the Philadelphia Eagles! Get ready to soar through their history, from humble beginnings to Super Bowl glory.
Founded in 1933, the Eagles started as the Frankford Yellow Jackets, purchased for a mere $2,500. Their name, inspired by the 'Blue Eagle' symbol of the New Deal, reflects a unique piece of American history.
The early years were tough, but the arrival of coach Earle "Greasy" Neale in 1941 changed everything. With stars like Steve Van Buren, the Eagles rose to win NFL championships in 1948 and 1949, establishing a dominant era.
After a period of rebuilding, the Eagles' success continued. Norm Van Brocklin led them to another championship in 1960, and later, Dick Vermeil guided them to four consecutive playoff appearances in the 1970s.
The modern era saw the Eagles' rise under coaches like Buddy Ryan and Andy Reid, culminating in a Super Bowl appearance in 2005. Then, in 2017, backup quarterback Nick Foles led an unforgettable victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII, securing the franchise's first Super Bowl title!
Let's take a quick look at the current state of the Eagles.
The 2025 roster features key players like Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, and DeVonta Smith, along with several new additions. The team's financial outlook is strong, with significant cap space.
