The Philadelphia Eagles finally turned things around last season after more than five years of wildcard defeats and a lack of playoff appearances. The club advanced to the previous Super Bowl thanks to their throw-to-score and run-to-win philosophies, but they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs. Without their main player Jalen Hurts, their kind of play would be incomplete. Due to his five-year, $255,000,000 contract extension, he enjoys one of the highest wages at $51 million annually.
He has commanded such money because he is integral to the Eagles and they feed off his incredible passing and continuously improving gameplay. Therefore, he has set high standards for the team, with the limelight being trained on him all the time. Therefore, when Hurts talked about internal strife and the need for media to be more team-oriented, James picked up on his words right away. He posted a story where Jalen Hurts was speaking and wrote, “Only a few truly understands exactly what he’s saying! And that’s a shame.”
