Eagles send a clear message to Saquon Barkley

The Philadelphia Eagles gave superstar Saquon Barkley a lucrative contract to join the team this offseason, even despite the tanking value of running backs across the league and Barkley’s injury history. But it seems like the Eagles are pretty happy with this decision.

During a recent interview with Mad Dog Sports Radio’s Adam Schein, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman defended the decision to sign Saquon Barkley and sent a pretty clear message to the running back about how they view him , saying he is a “player who makes a difference”. » in the championship.

“It’s hard to find players and people that make a difference, and it’s hard to find them at a certain price,” Roseman said according to Pro Football Talk. “These guys, they’re looking for a lot of money, and we felt like there was an opportunity to recruit one in Saquon and bring him to the team. There is risk in every decision you make, but we don’t think there is any risk to the talent. We do not believe there is any risk to the person. And we also feel like maybe – not that it wasn’t anywhere else – but we have a good situation here with us in Philadelphia to kind of maximize it. I don’t think there was anyone when he came out of the draft that didn’t think he wasn’t a Hall of Fame caliber talent and person. He’s still young and we’re really excited to have him.

We’ll have to see whether Barkley lives up to this contract or not.
