Cooper DeJean pays tribute to Super Bowl picks-6 with a custom-made suit for ring ceremony
The Eagles drafted Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the first two rounds of last April's NFL draft, and the results were championship worthy. Philadelphia was 2-2 entering the Week 5 bye, but lost one regular-season game after DeJean was inserted into the lineup in place of Avonte Maddox.
The Eagles defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, and finished the year with both Mitchell and DeJean being finalists for the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
With James Bradberry and Darius Slay departing, DeJean will have an even more critical role in Vic Fangio's defense this season. Philadelphia is securing its championship rings on Friday night, and DeJean wore a custom-made suit highlighting his pick-6 against Patrick Mahomes at the ring ceremony.
DeJean logged 51 tackles (38 solo) as a rookie, including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. DeJean's biggest and best moment came in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs, when he picked off Mahomes for a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown on his birthday.

Eagles email survey to season-ticket holders about new stadium, renovations at Lincoln Financial Field
In an email to season-ticket holders on Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles sent a survey about potential renovations to Lincoln Financial Field or the possibility of a brand new stadium. "As we look to the future, we're committed to delivering the best-in-class gameday experience for Philadelphia Eagles fans," the email read. "To help guide this vision, we're exploring potential updates to Lincoln Financial Field — including both renovation options and the possibility of a brand new stadium in the region." The Eagles' lease with the city is set to expire in 2032. The survey sent to fans comes as Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie expressed potential interest in bringing a Super Bowl to Philadelphia, but that would require adding a retractable roof to the stadium. "I don't have a strong opinion on it, because you're torn," Lurie told CBS Sports at Super Bowl media night earlier this year. "I love outdoor football. I love it. I love the cold games. I like the hot games. I like the snow games. On the other hand, Philadelphia deserves to host the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, and lots of great events. It's an incredible sports city, so yes, you got to balance all those things." The Linc opened in 2003, and the 2025 season will be the 23rd football season at the stadium. In that span, the Birds have gone to four Super Bowls and won two. The Eagles have done renovations to the Linc since opening, but they would need a roof to host an event like the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl hasn't been hosted in an open-air stadium with cold weather since it was at MetLife Stadium in 2014. The Linc recently hosted the FIFA Club World Cup and will host the World Cup in 2026, and the city will host other events like NCAA Tournament games and the 2026 MLB All-Star Game. The South Philly Sports Complex is set to undergo a makeover over the next several years and that could include a new Eagles stadium if the team decides to go that route. Earlier this year, the Flyers and Sixers announced they would open a new shared arena to replace the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers had initially pushed to build a new arena in Center City, but the deal fell through. In the last 10 years, four NFL teams — the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings — have all opened new stadiums. Each of them are either a dome or have a retractable roof. Philadelphia's NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders, is also working to build a new stadium.

NFL Analyst Compares Eagles QB Jalen Hurts to Steelers Legend
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Typically when a quarterback captures a Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP honors, they're viewed in the upper echelon at the position. While that hasn't been the case for Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts, one analyst took the time to compare him to an all-time great. Since the Eagles took down the Kansas City Chiefs last season, there has been a shocking discourse forming around Hurts. Though his stint as Philadelphia's starting QB has yielded big results, many have tried to slight him. Some bring up the fact that he's flanked by an elite wide receiver duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Meanwhile, others bring up that Saquon Barkley's historic season was a major catalyst in the Eagles capturing a title last year. The debate of Hurts only got louder earlier this month when ESPN put out their QB rankings ahead of the 2025 season. He barely cracked the top ten, coming in at No. 9. Some of the players put ahead of the Eagles QB include Jared Goff, Justin Herbert, and Matthew Stafford.
