Lack of Eagles Players

I have a question concerning the new Thanksgiving event. I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan and play the game in such a way where I try to only have the current Eagles players on my roster. I was really frustrated to find that all the "Eagles players" available in the event are no longer on the team...nor have they been for a season or more. I know this is a free-to-play game but, as I said, it's frustrating as a fan to feel like my team isn't being represented in events. There was not a single Eagles player available in the Halloween event either.
