Former Giants RB Saquon Barkley reached agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75M and includes $26M fully guaranteed at signing, per sources. Barkley now beats the franchise tag number and has a maximum average-per-year salary of $15.833M, which would be second highest for a RB in NFL History.
@AdamSchefter As a Giants fan who enjoyed watching Saquon play, he is the ultimate all or nothing back. Most of his runs will average for 2 yards. He'll then pop one off for eighty. He'll then sprain his knee and be out for six games. Rinse and repeat. But enjoy him, Philly!
@AdamSchefter Barkley is one of the most overrated running backs in the last 20 years. He had a monster rookie season and since he’s been average.
@AdamSchefter Grade this deal for the Eagles👇
@AdamSchefter Giants have been the worst franchise since the boat pic 🤣
@AdamSchefter Just got 23 text messages from all my Eastern PA combo Penn State/Eagles fans. One said it’s better than when their child was born. 🤣
@AdamSchefter The entire city of Philadelphia
