Welcome to Philadelphia, LeBron: Eagles' Hurts and Barkley believe James is great for city sports
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley praised James' signing as beneficial for the city's sports culture and the franchise's title pursuit.
- LeBron James signed a two-year contract with the Sixers, drawing immediate praise from Eagles stars who became fans of the 41-year-old athlete's arrival in Philadelphia.
- Super Bowl MVP-winning quarterback Jalen Hurts called James' arrival "huge" for the city, while running back Saquon Barkley pitched Philadelphia as a "great spot" for championship-seeking athletes at his youth football camp earlier this month.
- Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith, a Boston Celtics fan, welcomed the move, saying "Looks like the Sixers are trying to go win one." Smith, Barkley, and Hurts remain among Philadelphia's few championship-ring holders.
- During Wednesday's training camp, defensive tackle Jordan Davis shifted focus from team contract extensions to the city's newest star, as James' arrival momentarily overshadowed the Eagles' own roster developments.
- Separately, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman confirmed Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard has a pectoral strain following his four-year, $100 million contract extension, but expects him ready for the Sept. 13 opener against Washington.
