Eagles are happy for Nick Sirianni, even though nobody knows details of coach's new contract
The Eagles refused to reveal the terms, and even the most inside of insiders didn't have the contract details.
'I'm not going to get into the details of any of that stuff. Sorry, I don't want to,' Sirianni said Tuesday.
Sirianni is 48-20 in four seasons with Philadelphia. He also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in the 2022 season, when they lost to Kansas City. The Eagles rebounded from a 2-2 start to finish the 2024 season on a 16-1 run, including the playoffs and the victorious Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs.
Sirianni, who turns 44 next month, is the first head coach in NFL history to earn four playoff appearances, two conference titles and a Super Bowl in his first four years.
Asked about when he might retire from football, star receiver AJ Brown referenced Sirianni's deal and said, 'I'm done when he's done.'
So, how long is that?
'How long is his extension?' Brown asked.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who started in both Super Bowls for Sirianni, offered his congratulations. Offensive tackle Jordan Maliata recalled the time Sirianni used a flower analogy to illustrate to the team that the foundation is being built and that the roots are growing.
'Think about that time ... when he talked about the flower,' Maliata said. 'Now I just want to give him his flowers. He's done a phenomenal job. A phenomenal job building the culture of this locker room. Was it a multi-year contract? Does anyone know what it was worth?'
If anyone does, they're not saying.
Hurts and Brown were two prominent Eagles who declined President Donald Trump's invitation for the team to celebrate its championship with a White House visit. Saquon Barkley led the bulk of Eagles who made the trip to Washington on April 28.
'I wasn't available,' Hurts said Tuesday. 'I don't think that's pertinent. Everyone who went, and was available, they seemed to enjoy themselves.'
Asked by a reporter on the red carpet of a Time magazine gala — where he was honored as one of the 100 most influential people of 2025 — whether he would visit the White House, Hurts responded with an awkward 'um' and long silence before walking away.
Hurts did find time to attend the Met Gala on May 5.
Brown was also vague about his decision not to meet the president.
'I had a personal reason I was dealing with that day,' Brown said. 'It wasn't about politics, or who's in the office or anything. I just had something personal.'
During his first term, Trump invited the Eagles in 2018 after the franchise's first Super Bowl title. After it became clear most players weren't going to show up, he canceled the event and instead threw his own, brief 'Celebration of America.'

F1 A 'Healthy' Space Without Disgraced Red Bull Boss Christian Horner, Says McLaren's Zak Brown
Last Updated: McLaren CEO Zak Brown believes F1 is healthier after Christian Horner's exit as Red Bull team principal. Brown welcomed Laurent Mekies, hoping for a more constructive atmosphere. Formula One is in a better place following Christian Horner's exit as Red Bull team principal, according to McLaren CEO Zak Brown. Speaking after Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, Brown welcomed Horner's replacement, Laurent Mekies, and expressed optimism that the change would usher in a more constructive atmosphere across the paddock. 'I just left having a chat with Laurent. I'm happy he's in the role he's in," Brown told reporters in Budapest. 'I like Laurent, and I think that'll be healthy, and maybe we can get back to focusing on competition on the track." Brown's endorsement of Mekies—a well-respected figure in F1 with experience at Toro Rosso and Ferrari—comes after what he described as an increasingly 'unhealthy" dynamic at Red Bull under Horner's leadership. 'There's always going to be some political aspects to the sport," Brown added. 'I think it's going to be healthier with Laurent. I'm a fan of Laurent, I've known him for a long time, and I think it'll be good to go racing against him." Brown and Horner shared a long history—one that began during their days racing in British Formula Three and evolved into a sharp-edged rivalry as team principals. Their clashes were frequent and public, especially after Red Bull's cost cap breach in 2021, which McLaren saw as a serious sporting infraction. In 2022, Brown accused Red Bull of cheating when the FIA ruled that they had exceeded the $145 million spending limit. Horner fired back, calling Brown's comments 'tremendously disappointing." The tension often spilled into the media and was amplified in Netflix's Drive to Survive, where Horner was frequently portrayed as the sport's 'pantomime villain." While Max Verstappen continued to dominate the drivers' standings—winning his fourth consecutive title in 2024—McLaren ended Red Bull's run of constructor dominance last season. The competition on track was fierce, but Brown believes that Red Bull's internal culture under Horner had become toxic. Departure Under a Cloud Red Bull announced Horner's dismissal on July 9. Though no official reason was given, his departure followed a turbulent year in which he faced and denied allegations of misconduct made by a female Red Bull employee. He was ultimately cleared after an internal investigation, and he has not commented publicly since leaving the team. Brown did not directly reference those allegations, but he alluded to the broader dysfunction: 'It didn't seem like a healthy environment," he said of Red Bull under Horner. Brown emphasized his desire to return to a more respectful brand of competition—where fierce rivalry can coexist with mutual admiration and professionalism. 'From a fan's point of view, the drama of the villain stuff, I think, works," he said. 'But I also think the celebratory 'fight it out on track and photobomb each other'—I think that's a more fun way to go racing." He noted that Horner's approach often pushed the limits, particularly when it came to technical accusations such as McLaren's alleged use of 'flexi-wings.' 'When you start getting into frivolous allegations, I think that's just going too far," Brown said. 'If I look up and down the pit lane now, I see us fighting each other hard politically—but there being a line that's not crossed." 'That line got crossed before," he added. 'So I think we'll see a little bit of a change for the better." News18 Sports brings you the latest updates, live commentary, and highlights from cricket, football, tennis, badmintion, wwe and more.

Josh Allen ditches Tom Brady's mindset as he embraces Hailee Steinfeld and a family-first lifestyle
Josh Allen makes bold confession about love, football, and his future with Hailee (Getty Images) When the NFL season returns, the spotlight will inevitably land on Josh Allen. But this time, the Buffalo Bills quarterback isn't interested in being the next Tom Brady—or being trapped by the same win-at-all-costs narrative. As expectations mount for a Bills team still searching for its first Super Bowl, Allen is rewriting what success looks like—and it starts with finding happiness off the field. Josh Allen breaks free from the Brady Blueprint: Wants to chase joy over just rings I n a revealing conversation with CBS Sports, Allen opened up about how his personal and professional outlook has evolved. Surprisingly, it wasn't a football legend who sparked this change—it was golf's world number one, Scottie Scheffler. "Scottie Scheffler had that really good interview before The Open that spoke a lot to me, and I really appreciate him sharing those words," Allen shared. Scheffler's perspective—that life outside the game matters more than the trophies—hit home for Allen, who admitted he's often wrestled with the emotional rollercoaster of professional sports. Josh Allen opens up about coming up short of Super Bowl, talks winning MVP and upcoming season "It's maddening," Allen said of the effort-versus-results paradox in the NFL. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo "But at the same time, it helps put things in perspective about what matters in your life, and you figure out what that is fairly quickly." That clarity has helped Allen detach from fleeting accolades. Whether it's an MVP award or a historic playoff run, he's learned not to measure self-worth by what's handed out on stage. "It's kind of crazy where you're coming out here and doing everything you can for a quick enjoyment of it, and then you're on to the next," he explained. "It's like the MVP award. I don't look back and think about that night... I'm so moved on to trying to help this team win football games this year." Josh Allen will be focusing on creating a legacy that values people over pressure Allen's evolved philosophy is already resonating in the Bills' locker room. Rather than focusing solely on the elusive Super Bowl title, he's fostering a culture centered around camaraderie and commitment. "For sure, and going out there and playing free, and the main thing we always preach here is playing for each other and putting your best stuff out there," Allen emphasized. His mindset doesn't mean the fire to win is gone—it means the journey matters just as much as the destination. Allen understands that the true victory lies in building relationships, lifting teammates, and enjoying every step, regardless of the scoreboard. And maybe, just maybe, that's how lasting legacies are really made.
