Newark Eagles
Active 1936–1948 · 167 players · 7 Hall of Famers
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Newark Eagles itself — never folded into an unrelated modern club, which would fabricate a lineage that never existed. See the full index of lost clubs.
Mount Rushmore
The four largest measured careers at this club, by StatVault VAL attributed to Newark Eagles itself. A season counts here only when Newark Eagles is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 53 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 27 of 167 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
