A source at the Eagles, who spoke anonymously, stressed that conversations about refusing a visit with President Donald Trump after beating the Kansas City Chiefs LIX 40-22 have already occurred.

Following their win over the New England Patriots seven years ago, most of the roster was at odds with Trump’s reaction to players who took a knee during the national anthem.

Trump, then in his first term, wanted owners to fire any players who didn’t stand for The Star-Spangled Banner.

Only four Eagles remain from that championship-winning group — Jake Elliott, Rick Lovato, Brandon Graham, and Lane Johnson — but the sentiment for most of the team remains the same.

On Wednesday in New Orleans, Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, a staunch critic of Trump, was asked directly by Front Office Sports what the team’s plan for a potential White House visit would be.

Lurie smiled and batted away the question, saying, “I just want to win on Sunday.”
