Beloved Ex-Eagles Star Returns For One Final Day To Retire In Midnight Green

Philadelphia, PA – August 14, 2025
 Nick Foles’ story was always bigger than football. It was about timing, faith, and delivering when the city needed him most. And today, the quarterback who gave Philadelphia its first Lombardi Trophy made sure his final NFL chapter ended where the legend began — in midnight green.

Foles, the MVP of Super Bowl LII, signed a one-day contract with the Eagles to officially retire as a member of the franchise he transformed forever.

Drafted in 2012 out of Arizona, Foles had an NFL journey with twists and turns — from Pro Bowl highs to injury-ridden setbacks, from stops in St. Louis, Kansas City, Jacksonville, and Chicago, to a magical return to Philly that will forever be etched in sports history.

His second stint with the Eagles, in 2017, began in Carson Wentz’s shadow — and ended with confetti raining down in Minneapolis, as Foles outdueled Tom Brady and lifted a city out of decades of heartbreak. The Philly Special was more than a trick play; it became a rallying cry for a city built on grit and audacity.

“This is where I became a champion, where I became a man,” Foles said at the signing ceremony inside the NovaCare Complex. “Philly’s not just a city — it’s a family. You feel their love, their pressure, their pride. Every time I stepped on that field, I carried that with me.”

Surrounded by owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman, head coach Nick Sirianni, and a crowd of former teammates, the moment felt less like a retirement and more like a homecoming. The walls were lined with photos from that 2017 run, the Lombardi gleaming like a reminder of the impossible made real.

Social media exploded. Former teammates like Jason Kelce and Brandon Graham called him “forever a brother.” Fans flooded comment sections with green heart emojis and clips of the Philly Special, still giving goosebumps seven years later.

Foles’ career stats — over 14,000 passing yards, 82 touchdowns, and a Super Bowl MVP — only scratch the surface of his legacy. What defines him is the trust he earned, the calm in the chaos, and the way he connected with a city that demands authenticity.

The one-day contract was a signature on paper — but in truth, Nick Foles never really left.

In Philadelphia, legends aren’t just remembered. They’re immortalized. And as the ink dried, the man who once wore No. 9 walked out of the building the same way he entered: with a quiet smile, a deep faith, and a bond with the city that will last a lifetime.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
