Hey there, time traveller!

Running back AJ Dillon and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a one-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract hasn’t been finalized.
Dillon sat out last season because of a neck injury. He ran for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns in his first four seasons with Green Bay.
Dillon provides a backup behind Saquon Barkley, the 2024 AP Offensive Player of the Year who set an NFL record for most yards rushing in a regular season and playoffs combined with 2,504, helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl.
Kenny Gainwell, who got 75 carries in Philadelphia last season, left for Pittsburgh in free agency.
The 25-year-old Dillon has averaged 4.1 yards per carry in his career.
The Eagles announced fullback and linebacker Ben VanSumeren is returning on a one-year contract, as confirmed by multiple sources including the team’s official announcements. VanSumeren, a key contributor on special teams, played in 11 games before a knee injury sidelined him last season.
