We've seen photos cranked out by the Philadelphia Eagles' social media account. We saw him at the NovaCare Complex signing his new three-year deal. We saw him during practice sessions at OTAs and mandatory minicamp that were available to the media. It's still hard to believe that Saquon Barkley is one of us sometimes.
Then, we watch Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants. Yep! Saquon is an Eagle, and there is nary a thing Big Blue's fans can do about it.
He claimed the number 26 jersey, the same one worn by Miles Sanders and Lito Sheppard. We'll have to wait a while to see him play in a game that counts, but we won't have to wait long to see him. Frankly, it feels like we have been seeing him all spring and summer.
Saquon Barkley drops an elite clip by way of Instagram.
There's a funny thing about these Instagram stories. As you have probably figured out by now, they vanish after 24 hours. You'll have to forgive us. We had to lift one from Saquon Barkley.
Philly's social media team might be the best in the business, but Saquon's squad isn't too far behind them. Get a load of this find.

Maybe we're alone in this. Perhaps we're overreacting, but that kind of makes us want to throw on some shoulder pads and run through a wall.
It's official. The Birds really did it! They really kicked out big money to sign a running back.
Saquon is an Eagle. He's scheduled to hang out in town for three seasons. If no extension comes, he'll see free agency again in 2027. The cost of his services are a cool $37.75 million with a signing bonus of $11.6 million, $26 million guranteed at signing, and an average salary of $11.6 million.
