The Eagles have not rejected an invite to President Donald Trump's White House, according to a new report.
The Super Bowl champions did not visit President Trump after previously winning the championship in 2018 - during his first term - and The US Sun reported earlier this month that they would be skipping out on the honor this time around too. That report began to spread around social media over the weekend.
However, according to a White House source who spoke with Outkick founder Clay Travis, the Eagles have not rejected a trip to Washington - with the White House reportedly yet to even send an official invite yet.
While the Eagles' last scheduled visit to the White House was technically canceled by the Trump administration, the move came after Philadelphia were hesitant to visit the President, who had criticized players protesting during the national anthem.
At a 2017 rally, Trump said that the protests were 'hurting the game,' and said NFL owners should fire players who did so.

How many players would show up?
It's just football anyway, not like it really matters.
Fake and nasty “reports” are all over Facebook and Twitter Sports pages.
Are you crazy? What would people here panic about if they can't jump on every unsubstantiated rumor and try to beat everyone to the punch in starting a thread about it??
Update, they WILL go.
Good thing I kept my powder dry after hearing the rumors.
Heck ya! Big Macs an Nuggets!
It was probably due to the blowback they got from the fans...........
