Eagles in talks with White House about Super Bowl celebration

Driving the news: The Eagles are "definitely talking about coming" to the White House, said another source, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the talks. "There's been no rejection."

• That's in response to a U.S. Sun report earlier this month that claimed the Eagles planned to spurn a White House invitation.

"They haven't declined at all," a White House official told Axios.

Zoom out: Only one of the four Super Bowl winners visited the White House during Trump's first term after he criticized the league and its players.

Catch up quick: Trump, who this month became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, has a long-running feud with the Eagles. He recognized Kansas City but not Philadelphia for punching their ticket to New Orleans.

• When Philly won the Super Bowl in 2018, Trump rescinded their invitation to visit at the last minute because some team members planned to boycott the event. The Eagles had planned to send a smaller contingent of players for the celebration.

• Then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the Eagles were trying to pull a "political stunt" after Trump criticized players for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

The Eagles declined Axios' request for comment.
