The Philadelphia Eagles have not formally rejected a visit to the White House … that’s because an invitation hasn’t been extended yet, TMZ Sportshas learned.
Reports that were published prior to the Super Bowl resurfaced over the weekend … which stated if Jalen Hurts and Co. came out victorious against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9, they would not be making a trip to 1600 Penn to celebrate.
Of course, the Eagles ended up demolishing Patrick Mahomes’ team, 40-22 … preventing the Chiefs from executing the NFL’s first-ever three-peat.
Our White House sources tell us nothing’s official about the Eagles … as President Donald Trumphasn’t welcomed them to his crib at this time.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Philly were to get an invite and throw it back in No. 47’s face — the Eagles were presented the opportunity after winning the Super Bowl during Trump’s first term in 2018 … but POTUS scrapped the plans after several players spoke out against him.
Eagles star Lane Johnson did previously say he’d be down to go to D.C. this time around … but ultimately left it up to a team vote.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, however, gave a non-answer when asked about a White House visit prior to the game.
The Chiefs visited Joe Biden last season … but Trump’s presidency has resulted in several teams opting out.
The Eagles have yet to address the matter.
