What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles sent Fourth of July greetings to their fans, wishing them a happy 250th Independence Day as the United States marks its semiquincentennial. The message joins a league-wide wave of holiday posts from NFL teams celebrating the milestone anniversary.

Why it matters: Founded in the city where independence was declared, the Eagles carry a natural connection to the holiday, and the 250th anniversary gives the franchise a fitting moment to engage its fan base during the quiet stretch of the offseason. Teams across the league used the milestone to connect with fans ahead of the 2026 season.

What to watch: The Eagles turn their attention to training camp later this summer as preparations for the 2026 NFL season ramp up.
