We&#8217;re familiar with their &#8220;Commitment to excellence&#8221; and &#8220;Just win baby&#8221; mantras. Still, it&#8217;s easy to appreciate another one of their most well-known and popular phrases, &#8220;Once a Raider, always a Raider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That last one didn&#8217;t seem to apply to Marcus Allen for a while, but it&#8217;s all good. Mark Davis extended the olive branch. Everyone made up, so that&#8217;s another story for another occasion.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the phrase, its intent speaks to loyalty. That&#8217;s where our story begins. Every fan and sports franchise can appreciate that, can&#8217;t we? Even though there is no real <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/philadelphia-eagles\/354\" data-autotag=\"c1b3a094-e294-4a77-b1b2-dbdbd5bfa2c5\" rel=\"noopener\">Eagles<\/a> parallel, sometimes the Birds, regardless of where they fly, are Birds forever. Look no further than Jalen Mills for excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Jalen Mills makes his pitch for an Eagles reunion.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing was more enjoyable than watching Jalen Mills wag the finger whenever a pass was thrown his way unsuccessfully. Now, if we&#8217;re being honest, there were times when he had nothing to do with the incompletion, but don&#8217;t tell him that. Besides, who cares? He&#8217;s a Super Bowl champion and forever our &#8216;Green Goblin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Mills left the nest during the 2021 offseason after signing with the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-england-patriots\/348\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-england-patriots\/348\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New England Patriots<\/a>. He has since sandwiched a nine-game stint on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-york-jets\/352\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-york-jets\/352\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Jets<\/a> roster (2024) with stints on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-york-giants\/351\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-york-giants\/351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Giants<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/houston-texans\/325\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/houston-texans\/325\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston Texans<\/a>&#8216; practice squads. As most of the BFL&#8217;s teams began work on Sunday, Mills responded to an Eagles fan by asking if Philadelphia might be interested in his services.<\/p>\n<p>We love Jalen Mills, but if we&#8217;re being honest, any ship potentially steering itself towards a potential reunion probably sailed a while ago. Philadelphia seems set at the safety position with Reed Blankenship. Sydney Brown and Andrew Mukuba.<\/p>\n<p>A three-man rotation could be viewed as being light, but Cooper Dejean can play safety in base sets. Philadelphia also has Marcus Epps and Andre&#8217; Sam on the practice squad, so again, this seems like something Philadelphia would pass on for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Still, we&#8217;ll always have love for Mills. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle, remember? That is, unless, of course, we&#8217;re discussing someone like Jason Babin or Chip Kelly, but the man who made green mohawks look cool has nothing to fear about where he stands in the hearts of fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It appears the Green Goblin, Jalen Mills, wants to come home and rejoin the Philadelphia Eagles.
