Saquon Barkley Signs with Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley, the former New York Giants running back, has signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo.

The Eagles are expected to use Barkley as a complementary back to Miles Sanders, who rushed for over 1,200 yards last season.

Barkley's Career

Barkley was drafted by the Giants with the second overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

He rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, but injuries have limited him to just 13 games over the past two seasons.

Barkley is hoping to regain his Pro Bowl form in Philadelphia.

Eagles' Running Game

The Eagles have a talented running back room, with Sanders, Barkley, and Boston Scott.

The team hopes that Barkley can provide a boost to their running game, which ranked 14th in the NFL last season.

Barkley's signing is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Eagles.
