Eagles Trade Tanner McKee to Steelers, Reacquire Super Bowl LII Champion Isaac Seumalo

Philadelphia,  June 6, 2025

– In a surprising move, the Philadelphia Eagles have traded quarterback Tanner McKee to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for Super Bowl LII champion guard Isaac Seumalo, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The trade, which also involved draft picks, strengthens Philly’s offensive line following their selection of quarterback Kyle McCord in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Eagles sent McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick, along with a 2026 fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh, receiving Seumalo and a 2026 seventh-round pick in return. The Steelers, impressed by McKee’s 2024 performance (323 yards, 4 touchdowns), see him as a potential backup to starting quarterback Justin Fields.

Seumalo, now 31, started 13 games for the Steelers in 2024, earning a solid 71.9 PFF grade while allowing zero sacks. His $7.5 million cap hit aligns with Philly’s $60 million in available cap space, filling the gap left by Mekhi Becton at right guard, as reported by The Athletic. “Isaac’s a cornerstone,” said head coach Nick Sirianni, praising Seumalo’s reliability and familiarity with the team.

A key member of the Eagles’ 2017 Super Bowl-winning squad, Seumalo started 60 games for Philly from 2016 to 2022. His return reunites him with renowned offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, bolstering a unit that powered Saquon Barkley’s 2,005-yard rushing season and supports quarterback Jalen Hurts.

McKee, who shined in Week 18 of 2024 with 269 yards and 2 touchdowns, became expendable after the Eagles drafted Kyle McCord (4,779 yards, 34 touchdowns at Ohio State) at pick No. 181. Philly now relies on McCord and Dorian Thompson-Robinson as quarterback depth behind Hurts, per Bleeding Green Nation.

In Pittsburgh, with $12 million in cap space, the Steelers view McKee as a valuable addition. “Tanner’s a gem,” coach Mike Tomlin said, highlighting his potential to stabilize their quarterback room.

The trade comes amid a busy offseason for the Eagles, who also drafted Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba, navigated A.J. Brown’s off-field drama, and faced speculation about Dallas Goedert’s future. Seumalo’s return sparked excitement among fans, with @PhillyFaithful tweeting, “He’s back!” His 71.9 PFF grade solidifies an already formidable offensive line featuring Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Lane Johnson.

With no draft picks remaining, the Eagles have positioned themselves as NFC East frontrunners. Seumalo’s homecoming strengthens their offensive front, fueling their pursuit of a Super Bowl repeat and igniting the passion of the Philly faithful.

Saints Cheerleader Sues a Saints Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A charming, dynamic cheerleader from the New Orleans Saints is "exploding" and dragging a team player to court for "unforgivable" behaviors! Abigale Licciardi – the star of the Saints Cheer Krewe – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the drama behind it is stirring up NFL fans! Could this be the "biggest scandal" in Saints history? Read now to discover the "scorching" details! Abigale Licciardi, a professional cheerleader for the American football team New Orleans Saints in the NFL, is a prominent member of the Saints Cheer Krewe group. She is a former student at the University of Louisiana, where she participated in the local cheer squad and dance activities. Before that, Abigale was a dancer for NBA events and holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Tulane University. Abigale is active on social media, often sharing about games at Caesars Superdome, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Saints. As part of the Saints Cheer Krewe team consisting of about 47 members (combining male and female), Abigale participates in fan interactions, charity events like "Dream On 3," and performances at Saints games. She has an Instagram account (@abigalelicciardi) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@abigale_saints) where she shares videos about game days and dance routines. Before joining the Saints, she worked at a local event company, proving her versatility and passion. But the "nightmare" struck when Abigale got "entangled" with a Saints player! That's Mike Thornton, a backup defensive end who rarely plays for the Saints – a guy who's practically "anonymous" to fans, only playing sporadically on special teams and never a pillar. Thornton, 29 years old, has been married since 2021 to his wife, a community nurse, and they have two young children (one boy and one girl). Yet, according to Abigale's lawsuit, Thornton has been "flirting" with her recklessly, despite his happy family life! The "explosion" happened when Thornton started sending "sweet" messages to Abigale via Instagram, praising her smile and energy after performances. At first, Abigale thought it was just friendly praise from a teammate, but things quickly "crossed the line" into harassment! Thornton called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 1-2 a.m. – to "share" about playing pressures, invite her for private dinners, and even send "suggestive" videos filmed at the gym! Abigale stated in the lawsuit: "He knows I only focus on my career and the team, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls make me anxious and stressed, severely affecting my performance!" According to insider sources, Thornton has been "stalking" Abigale since preseason, frequently "lingering" at community events she attends, and intentionally "creating situations" to approach her. Thornton's wife, upon learning, went "crazy" and threatened to break up, but the guy remains "blind"! The Saints are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily isolated Thornton for investigation, while fans are divided – one side defends Abigale's "brave accusation," the other suspects it's a "staged script." The NFL league is also intervening, which could lead to heavy fines or removal from the roster! Abigale, with her "queen" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a thorny issue in the sports world! How will the court punish Thornton? And will the Saints "clean up" the team to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
