During an October meeting between NFL owners, players and league executives, the subject of support for Donald Trump was mentioned by a player.

A player said it was difficult to trust the owners because they supported Trump.

Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie took exception to the statement.

“Another fact I want to throw out there: Many of us have no interest in supporting President Trump,” Lurie said, according to a recording of the meeting obtained by The New York Times. “Yes, there are some. There are some players who do, too.”

“But this is not where you brandish a group of people because they own assets in a sport we love, supporting what many of us perceive as, you know, one disastrous presidency,” he said, using a vulgarity to emphasize “disastrous,” then adding, “Don’t quote me.”

A visit by the Eagles is being planned, a White House spokeswoman said on Monday.

“We have been in conversations with the Eagles about timing and are working with them to make it happen,” said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary. “We hope to have something finalized in the next couple of weeks.”

Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed upon an improved contract for 2018, which includes a mutual option for 2019.

Foles received a $2 million signing bonus and several million more in incentives if he's the starter.

The Eagles wanted to reward Foles after he helped lead them to a Super Bowl in place of Carson Wentz.

Foles will have the ability to become a free agent next offseason.

The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Atlanta Falcons for the NFL's 2018 opening game on Thursday, September 6th.

The Eagles and Falcons played each other in the Divisional Round of last year's playoffs.

The NFL begins each season with the defending Super Bowl champions hosting a game on Thursday.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released Daryl Worley after he was arrested early Sunday morning.

Worley was allegedly found passed out inside a vehicle blocking a highway.

According to a report, the cornerback was tased during the arrest after he allegedly became combative toward police. A gun was found at the scene.

The Eagles acquired Worley in a trade that sent Torrey Smith to the Carolina Panthers last month.

The Philadelphia Eagles want Carson Wentz to change his approach when it comes to getting out of the pocket to avoid injury.

"It definitely went in one ear and out the other early on," Frank Reich said. "It didn't go exactly like this, but this is just made up to protect the innocent, or protect the guilty, however you say it: We would say to him, 'Hey, you just need to kind of back off on some of this tackling stuff.'

"And he didn't quite say it like this, but it was essentially, 'No, I'm not backing off. This is me. This is how I play.'"

Wentz was lose for the season with a torn ACL but the Eagles still won their first Super Bowl.

"I'm going to sit down and talk to him," Doug Pederson said at Annual League Meeting last week. "Longevity's everything in this business. Learn from the best. Learn from Tom Brady, who got hurt early in his career. And learn from guys that have done that and yet still went on to have great careers and long careers."
