  • Saquon Barkley pitches LeBron James on bringing title to Philadelphia: ‘You’d be remembered forever’

    During his youth football camp at Haddonfield High School in New Jersey, Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley was asked for his pitch to LeBron to join him in Philly.

    “I think it is one of the greatest sports towns in the world,” Barkley said, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. “I know Josh Hart said the opposite. I saw that today on Twitter. But I have to disagree with him. If you want to go out with a bang, I feel like a great spot would be in Philly, and bringing a championship to Philadelphia, you’d be remembered forever.”

    Barkley knows a thing or two about immediately being a difference maker in Philly. The former New York Giants star joined the Eagles in 2024 and led them to the Super Bowl with a 2,005-yard season, which culminated in the second Lombardi lifting in franchise history.

    James has won four career NBA championships, two with the Miami Heat, one with the Cavs and one with the Lakers.

    Though the future Hall of Famer has lost a step, Kelce remains one of the elite tight ends in the league, and the 36-year-old still has some spring in his step. Take for example that he had 463 yards after the catch in 2025, which was third among tight ends. The newly married superstar, who ranked 37th in last year’s Top 100, eclipsed 13,000 career yards receiving, becoming just the third TE to do so, while finishing his 13th season with 1,080 receptions — good for eighth all time regardless of position. Having been voted to his 11th Pro Bowl, Kelce’s best seasons might be in the rearview, but his peak form is still better than most. He’s got at least one more season with the Chiefs — whom he led in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns — to wrap up what’s been one of the greatest careers in NFL history for a tight end, whether you’re judging it with statistics, team success or individual accolades like his 11th straight Top 100 spot.

    NFL Pro Insight for Kelce: Kelce had more yards after the catch than expected on 44.6% of his catches in 2025, the fifth-highest rate among tight ends with at least 40 receptions.
