Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie may or may not be among those bidding to take control of the Boston Celtics, but right now that's just a high-profile rumor.

Some of Boston's best athletes, like the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Red Sox's Mookie Betts, have to leave town. But fans still love them.

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is likely focused on his team’s looming Super Bowl LIX showdown with Kansas City but the confetti for the Eagles’ second NFC Championship in three years had hardly fallen Sunday night when a report made it appear that the 73-year-old businessman has another battle waiting.

Current Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca remains the only person to publicly state his intentions of entering the bidding process.

Jeffrey Lurie is reportedly 'in the running' to buy the Boston Celtics. Here's why he should just focus on the Eagles.

One notable name has emerged from the first round of bids to buy the Celtics last week according to Bill Simmons.

“Mentioned this near the end of tonight’s podcast: Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is in the running to buy the Boston Celtics. He’s a Boston native w/ degrees from Clark, Brandeis AND B.U. His first big company was called Chestnut Hill Productions. Huge Celts fan obviously.”

The Philadelphia Eagles are off to the Super Bowl, but team owner Jeffrey Lurie may also have the Boston Celtics on his mind.

As the Eagles prepare to play in their second Super Bowl in three years, team owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly is making a strong push to buy the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics have been trying to sell their team for a while now, but no suitors have made themselves truly known they really want to buy the team. However, a new suitor no one expected has made himself known: Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles (via Bill Simmons ).

The Boston Celtics are in the process of being sold, and a short list of interested suitors will soon be made public as part of the next leg of proceedings. According to the Ringer's Bill Simmons, one high-profile Boston native is in the running to purchase the Celtics.
