The New York Giants were not expected to be able to retain Saquon Barkley‘s services. While the deal cannot be official until Wednesday afternoon, we now know he’ll play his first professional game as a member of a new team after agreeing to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles.
It's a 3-year, $37.75M deal for Saquon Barkley and the #Eagles. Philly pays top of the market for a RB. https://t.co/cnj0QBuMMo

This comes shortly after Philly lost last year’s leading rusher, D’Andre Swift, to the Chicago Bears in free agency. The running back carousel continues to spin, and the Eagles are a great landing spot for Barkley to shine. Much like Swift, he’s a dual-threat option as a capable rusher and elite receiving outlet from the backfield.
