Saquon Barkley shades Eagles’ and Giants’ rivals over free agency snub
NY Post
Saquon Barkley’s services apparently weren’t desired by every club in the NFC East.
When recently discussing his free agency experience last March, when he left the Giants for the rival Eagles, the newly minted Super Bowl champion revealed the teams’ division rivals didn’t pursue him.
“Never heard a word from the Commanders or Dallas,” Barkley told Twitch streamer “Janky Rondo” over the weekend when participating in teammate DeVonta Smith’s charity softball game.
“That’s why it’s BTA [belt to ass] when I see them.”
The second overall pick with the Giants in 2018, Barkley became a franchise cornerstone who often carried a listless offense during much of his six seasons in New York.
Despite a desire to be a Giant for life, the star running back landed with the Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract in March 2024.
