Philadelphia Eagles legend Bill Bergey, who spent seven seasons with the franchise, has passed away.

On Christmas morning, Jake Bergey announced in an X/Twitter post that his father passed away at the age of 79 after a three-year battle with cancer. Bill Bergey had three sons with his wife, Micky, and eight grandchildren.

A star out of Arkansas State, Bergey was a second-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 1969. He spent five seasons with the organization before signing with Philadelphia in the 1974 offseason.
