Veteran Guard With 6 Years in Philly Looks to Rejoin Eagles After Finishing Steelers Contract

Some players move on. Others leave a piece of themselves behind.

Isaac Seumalo, the veteran offensive guard who spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles, has opened up about where his heart still lies—and where he hopes to finish what he started.

Now entering the final season of a three-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seumalo spoke candidly in a recent interview about his time in Philly, what it meant to him, and his desire to come back once the opportunity is right.

“Philly made me,” Seumalo said. “It wasn’t just where I played—it was where I became the player and the person I am today. If the chance comes, I’ll be waiting. I’d love nothing more than to wear midnight green one more time.”

Drafted in 2016, Seumalo was a key part of the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII team and a reliable anchor on the offensive line through multiple eras—from Wentz to Hurts, from rebuild to championship. Quiet but steady, he was often described as “the glue” among the big men up front, earning praise from coaches and teammates alike.

When he signed with Pittsburgh in 2023, it was a cap decision—not an emotional one. Even after putting together two solid seasons with the Steelers, he admits there’s something about the Linc, the fans, and the city of Philadelphia that still pulls at him.

Though the Eagles have turned to a younger offensive line in recent years, Seumalo’s leadership, experience, and deep ties to the franchise would make him a welcome sight for many fans. And from the way he talks, that door hasn’t closed.

Not every return story gets written. But some, like this one, feel like they’re just waiting for the right page.

Seumalo may be in black and gold today—but in his heart, he's still bleeding midnight green.
