Brandon Graham leaves possibility of returning for 2025

Brandon Graham didn't sound like a player who just wrapped up his "farewell tour."

During his second-ever Super Bowl speech, the 15-year veteran appeared to leave the door open for another year on the field.

Graham re-signed with the Eagles before the season for what he said was his farewell season. Then, in Week 12, he tore his triceps, an injury many expected to end his season and perhaps his career. But that wasn't the case.

Graham worked his way back onto the field, playing 13 snaps in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

"I'm just lost for words because I know everybody together — we are stronger together, for real," Graham said. "And we showed that this year, that last game. The only problem I have is that it's over. The season is over, and we're getting ready for the next one.

"And this one is so special because we came together and everybody balled. When I said everybody balled, there was plays made by everybody in that game, and you could tell that everybody wanted it. I'm so happy that you all didn't have to go through a nail-biter game. These boys, we worked too hard. We had no victories Mondays, so we took it all out in the end.

"So, we're thankful for Coach because sometimes, you have to have that tough love in order to get where you are trying to go. It's about us being gritty. We going to stay gritty, we're going to stay working.

"I'm always going to be part of Philly no matter what. I'm so thankful to have been here. I love you all."

Landon Dickerson thanks Eagles fans in expletive-ridden Super Bowl parade speech

When the Eagles selected Landon Dickerson in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft, the Pro Bowl offensive lineman remembered one thing everyone told him about Philadelphia.

"When I got drafted here, everybody said it was impossible to play in Philly," Dickerson said at Friday's Super Bowl LIX parade in Philadelphia. "I found all you want is for us to give everything we can for this city, and you all give it right back."

Before going into the meat of his speech, Dickerson shouted out to every Eagles fan from Delco to Philadelphia and across the world.

"I can't tell you how much we appreciate you guys every [expletive] game. Every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, it doesn't matter. I don't think I've played a [expletive] away game my entire career. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all my teammates out here," Dickerson said.

"We've been through so much this whole year, and these guys, they've done everything for everybody. It wasn't about an individual. It was the whole team. We've gone through some [expletive], but it don't matter. We brought home that Lombardi [Trophy], baby," Dickerson added.

"I can't tell you how much it means to me and it means to every guy on this team. The city and everything, the support. I've never seen anything like it. I can tell you right now. There's not another fan base in this country that can match what we do here.

"I don't even got words to describe how happy I am right now. After '22, feeling that loss, I don't ever want to feel that [expletive] again. It was a terrible feeling. But you know what? We don't have to feel it today, baby. I just got one last thing to say, Go [expletive] Birds!"

A.J. Brown has one message for the doubters: 'I'm a [expletive] champion'

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown began his Super Bowl parade speech at the bottom of the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps by referencing "Rocky:" "Yo, Adrian." He ended it with a simple message.

"I got one more thing. They said I was a diva. They said all I cared about was stats," Brown said. "If you're going to get all those things wrong about me, but one thing you can get right. I'm a [expletive] champion."

"You hear that, Dallas?": Gov. Shapiro says Eagles now "America's team"

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro grew up as a Philadelphia Eagles fan during the lean years. During those years, Super Bowls were only won in fans' dreams. That's not the case anymore, as the Eagles won their second Super Bowl in seven years on Sunday by clobbering the Kansas City Chiefs.

And America has taken notice, according to the Pennsylvania governor.

"I got to tell you something. Being an Eagles fan, I know how people love to hate us," Shapiro said. "They love to root against us, but something I noticed is, that all of a sudden, people were coming together to cheer on our Philadelphia Eagles. Not just here in Philly, but all across America. It would seem, Jeffrey [Lurie], that the Philadelphia Eagles are now America's team.

"You hear that, Dallas? The Eagles are America's team."

Eagles fans then began a "Dallas sucks" chant.

Shapiro confirmed that a beer can hit Eagles general manager Howie Roseman during the parade.

"Philly, you put on a helluva parade today except for some of y'all who didn't know how to toss a beer nicely," Shapiro said. "You fired it too hard. Just ask Howie Roseman."

Jason Kelce, Brent Celek pop into McGillin's

Chris Mullins, Sr., co-owner of McGillin's Olde Ale House, said former Eagles Jason Kelce and Brent Celek made a surprise appearance at the Irish bar on Super Bowl parade day.

The Eagles' duo came in and went behind the bar and the crowd went crazy, according to Mullins. To fuel the fire, both Kelce and Celek bought everybody in the bar a round of drinks, too! Mullins described Kelce as "a man of the people."

"The highlight to me as an owner of a bar/restaurant – the highlight was the fact that he went down and chatted with the people in our kitchen and got them an opportunity to get involved because they're like the people that make the engine run," Mullins said.

The co-owner said he's looking forward to hearing what Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have to say ahead of the highly-anticipated Super Bowl parade speeches. 

And to cap off the surprise visit, Mullins said he asked Kelce if he remembered coming into McGillins before he reached a new level of fame. 

"I said, 'Jason, it's so good to see you again. Do you remember when you were a complete unknown and you used to sit in the back booth over there playing cards with a bunch of your buddies from the Eagles?' He said, 'Of course, I remember that. I remember coming in and singing karaoke, too!"

Howie Roseman: 2024 Eagles represent what "Philadelphia is all about"

Speaking on the bus during the Super Bowl LIX victory parade, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman called the 2024 Birds a "team filled of Philadelphia stories."

"The players, the staff, we represent what Philadelphia is all about," Roseman said. "Hard work, determined. We're the champs."

Roseman, with a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other, credited a motto coined by head coach Nick Sirianni.

"I think what coach says, you can only be great with the greatness of others," Roseman said. "I think at the end of the day, we had a lot of people who had a mission, who were determined to stick together, come together. Incredibly talented group. Just really proud."

Roseman ended his on-bus interview by saying, "This is a party in Philadelphia."

Cooper DeJean: A lot of fans are asking me to be their Valentine

As the Philadelphia Eagles parade through the city, a lot of fans are taking note of the holiday the parade is falling on: Valentine's Day.

Fans all over the route have custom signs asking certain players to be their Valentine. We're pretty sure Jalen Hurts isn't single, but who knows about Cooper DeJean? The rookie corner just turned 22 years old on Super Bowl Sunday.

DeJean was asked what's the craziest thing he's seen at the parade and he said it's probably all the asks to be your Valentine.

"I'm just having a blast though," DeJean said. "It'll never get old."

Jalen Hurts has no plans of changing his phone screensaver after winning Super Bowl

After the Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs, a screenshot of Jalen Hurts' phone screensaver went viral. Two years later, Hurts avenged his loss by winning Super Bowl LIX MVP, helping lead the Eagles to a 40-22 win over the Chiefs in their rematch.

While wearing a "LOVE, Hurts" hoodie during the Eagles parade, Hurts said he still hasn't changed his phone screensaver.

And he doesn't plan to either.

"I have not. No anticipation," Hurts said. "It's not doing anything bad for me."

Lombardi Trophy in one hand and chomping on a cigar, Jalen Hurts was all smiles as the Super Bowl victory parade moved up Broad Street.

He famously said after signing a five-year contract extension that "money is nice, championships are better."

Jalen is clearly having a great day — looks like he's right, this is better than money.

Jason Kelce arrives at Eagles Super Bowl parade

While Jason Kelce officially retired before the 2024 season, the future Hall of Fame center is still very much part of the Eagles family.

Kelce was conflicted about who to root for in Super Bowl LIX as the big game pitted his former team against his brother, Travis Kelce.

But make no mistake. An Eagles Super Bowl parade wouldn't be the same without Jason Kelce.

Kelce was seen arriving at the parade today with a beer in hand.

When Eagles parade reaches art museum, who will speak?

Who knows who will be 2025's Jason Kelce, whose 2018 speech in a Mummers costume on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art is forever cemented in Eagles history after the team's first Super Bowl win.

It's been reported that any of the Super Bowl champion Eagles who want to speak at the art museum will be able to. But CBS Sports' Jeff Kerr has confirmed two veterans from the Super Bowl LII winning team definitely have something to say prepared.

Offensive tackle Lane Johnson and defensive end Brandon Graham are among the players who plan to speak, Kerr said on X.

Josh Sweat wears Chris Long's fur coat during Super Bowl 59 parade

After a 2 1/2-sack performance in Super Bowl 59, Eagles edge rusher Josh Sweat wore a special fur coat during today's parade — his former teammate Chris Long's.

Long, a former defensive end with the Super Bowl LII winning team, said on his podcast that he may have lent a fur coat to one of the Super Bowl LIX champions to wear to this parade.

Long's iconic fur jacket got plenty of attention when he wore it to the 2018 parade. But which player received the coat was a mystery until now.

Cam Jurgens' beef jerky company giving out Eagles tickets

Eagles center Cam Jurgens said he will be tossing out packets of beef jerky during the Super Bowl parade today, but some of those packets will contain more than just a snack. 

Jurgens and his beef jerky company Jurgy shared on Instagram that fans should try to catch the bags of jerky for a special surprise.

Here's why: Jurgens said that three of the bags would be marked with a special golden ticket. If you're lucky to grab one of those, the golden ticket is good for two tickets to an Eagles game next year.

May the odds be ever in your favor. Go Birds.

Philadelphia Eagles thank fans "from the bottom of our hearts"

The Eagles started their season in Brazil and ended it in New Orleans as Super Bowl champions.

"You took over opposing stadiums and you filled Lincoln Financial Field with your passion, giving us the best home-field advantage in the NFL every time we played," the Eagles said.

Eagles fans bring their A-game with creative signs at Super Bowl parade

Eagles fans are a different breed. We say "Go Birds" instead of hello. Tons of us have been singing a Michael Jackson song repurposed to praise rookie cornerback (and Super Bowl LIX pick-six-getter and birthday-haver) Cooper DeJean.

Pardon my French, but it's safe to say the fanbase has a certain...je ne sais quoi? Or rather, je ne Saquon.

These are just some of our favorite safe-for-work signs we saw along the parade route. These folks were gathered on the Ben Franklin Parkway ready to go at 8 a.m. — hours before the Birds were due to reach that area.

Where are SEPTA trains stopping for the Super Bowl parade?

SEPTA Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford line trains are on a limited express service for Parade Day. Many stops are closed.

Regional Rail trains are inbound only this morning, meaning they will only carry passengers into Philadelphia. After the parade they will be outbound only, only carrying passengers out of Philadelphia.

There are many helpful details in the video below on our Instagram page – just pause or screenshot when you need to.

We have more on SEPTA's special schedule at this link, or check out SEPTA's website.

Around 10 a.m. SEPTA announced trains would no longer be stopping at Walnut-Locust station due to overcrowding.

SEPTA spokesperson Andrew Busch said in a live broadcast that the agency is trying to run as much express service as possible getting people to the route.

SEPTA's Broad Street Line no longer stopping at Walnut-Locust station

Here's what to know if you're taking SEPTA to the Eagles Super Bowl parade 02:44

The Broad Street Line is no longer stopping at Walnut-Locust station due to overcrowding, SEPTA announced.

The BSL and Market-Frankford Line are free today thanks to sponsors — officials had strongly advised parade goers to take public transporation over driving.

It was not immediately clear if or when trains would resume stops at the station.

What does this mean for people using the Broad Street Line? If you get on northbound at Snyder Avenue, your first stop will be at Race-Vine.

If you get on the train in North Philadelphia heading southbound, Race-Vine is your last stop in proximity to the Ben Franklin Parkway. If you don't get off at Race-Vine, you'll be carried southbound all the way to Snyder Avenue.

Where are porta potties and bathrooms at the Eagles parade?

If you've got to go, you've got to go. But don't worry, restrooms are available at the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl victory parade.

Porta potties, including ADA-accessible porta potties, are stationed every few blocks on the streets that intersect Broad Street. These portable restrooms are set back a few hundred feet from Broad so you can hopefully break away from the crowd and find your spot to go.

The city of Philadelphia posted a map showing all of the portable restrooms. They are available on both the east and west sides of Broad Street, and the north and south sides of the Ben Franklin Parkway — you can tap the link and see the bathrooms nearest to you on your side of Broad or the Parkway.

Where to park during the Eagles Super Bowl parade

Parade visitors are encouraged to use public transportation for the Eagles Super Bowl parade today. But there are some parking options for anyone who does decide to hit the road.

The Philadelphia Parking Authority shared an online map that shows the availability of its owned and operated garages and lots in real time. Privately owned and operated lots and garages will not show up on that site.

There is some good news for anyone lucky enough to find street parking today: you won't have to rush to move your car. The PPA said it won't enforce meters or residential parking time limits for the day.

We're on your corner with an extensive list of parking lots around Center City. Those lots are available until full.
