Former Eagles Owner Norman Braman Reveals Cancer Diagnosis — “Every Eagles Win Is the Best Medicine”
Philadelphia, PA – September 30, 2025
Norman Braman, the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles from 1985 to 1994, has announced he has been diagnosed with cancer. At 91 years old, Braman vowed to face treatment with determination and optimism.
“I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and am following the plan recommended by an excellent team of doctors,” Braman shared in a statement. “Every Eagles win is the best medicine, and I want to see more.”
Braman bought the Eagles from Leonard Tose in 1985, initially alongside Ed Snider, before becoming sole owner in 1986. He guided the franchise until selling the team to Jeffrey Lurie in 1994 for $195 million.
During his tenure, Braman oversaw the rise of quarterback Randall Cunningham and a defense that shaped Philadelphia’s tough identity, even though playoff success was limited. His ownership remains a debated but significant era in team history.
After selling the Eagles, Braman shifted focus to his automobile and real estate empire while remaining a prominent figure in Philadelphia’s civic and philanthropic life. His ties to the city and the team never fully faded.
News of his diagnosis prompted immediate responses from fans and alumni. Many on social media recalled his impact on the Eagles, sending prayers and encouragement as he now faces the most personal battle of his life.
For Philadelphia, Braman’s fight is another reminder of the unbreakable bond between the team and its community — where loyalty, resilience, and hope extend far beyond the football field.
