CSN’s John Clark asked Roger Goodell about the matter and he did mention that they’re one of the cities that are bidding for the event.
I asked Roger Goodell about Philly getting draft next yr: "Theyre one of the cities bidding. Were interested in Phila among other cities"

This would be an interesting turn of events, considering how negative this city is viewed by outsiders. Would Goodell and the NFL have the balls to bring it to Philly? Gary Bettmann had the balls to bring the NHL Draft here. I don’t think Goodell would, but it would be awesome if Philly landed the NFL Draft three years after the NHL one.
