I love signing Barkley, but only if I don’t have to see Gainwell 45% of the game anymore. 

Paying him like this is to be a true lead back. He’s going to get 20+ touches per game to make this worth it.

To be fair every off season pickup and draft selection is an unknown. From Nnamdi Asomugha to Jason Kelce none of us really KNOW anything lol. So why get mad. 

Most of us just stay mad about the team.  

 

Holy ish, we paid Saquon

Last year, we worried and hoped Swift would stay healthy so we could fully enjoy his talent.

He stayed healthy, and we underutilized him.

This year, we will have to hope Barkley can stay healthy. 

No doubt, he will make a lot of plays running behind this line. And I wonder with Moore here, if we will be able to successfully use him in the passing game.

I wouldnt have gone for him. But I am excited about these WRs, and this RB. Quite the collection of skill players. And we havent even traded Sweat for Tee Higgins yet.

Glad we dumped the bulk of our money into Huff and an overrated running back.

 

I think people are undervaluing Saquon. He is certainly a huge upgrade to our team.

Don't like it.  Too much money.

Definitely overpaid, but it almost forces them to run the ball more and takes the ball out of Hurts' hands a little bit. I like Hurts, but this offense can't go through him all the time. 

Unless I am missing something, this seems to be an epically terrible deal.

Ohhhh snap. Howie is going off! 

At least Howie understands Hurts needs all the help he can get, but this was still way too much.

FWIW Jets fans absolute love Huff and are pissed he's gone. I always like to get a barometer from fans, it's usually accurate.

Yeah they're not vibing JD at all.

I dislike the contract but aj brown, smith, saquon, goedert and if we get a reliable no. 3 is ridiculous amount of weapons.  

Me reading all these replies to the Barkley signing 

Xavier McKinney next.

I like it. He'll do great behind the Eagles oline

correct , he's played behind a oline that has had a swinging door at every position on the line and new head coaches and o coordinators

10 sacks playing under 50% of snaps, high pass rush win rate.  Seeing as though we’re losing one or both of our edge rushers, I like it.  But we must bring in a safety and linebacker.

He IS the safety.    

so Henry and soon to be Jones left at RB for DAL? I wonder if they decide to go young at RB, they need a C, LB, RT, and a RB...let's see what dumb crap the Jones' can muster this year.

When's the last time a big time free agent RB signing wound up playing in a super bowl? 

Last season with CMC.  

Likeability of this team is taking a hit with Kelce and Cox out the door with Kellen Moore and Barkley coming in. 

Van Ginkle to Vikings.
