D-Shiznit Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Not a fan of paying RBs, but considering it’s Saquan, I don’t hate it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick1234 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Rosebud's ego may have gotten the best of him on this signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 High priced and oft injured is an unsettling combination. I hope his ankles hold up. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 That’s too much money in my view. Im a big Barkley guy, I think he’s got so much ability and behind a decent OL he can really look to take off. But that kind of investment in a RB? Who’s been hurt a lot? It’s too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwinavega Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I mean... that back, behind that line... SWOON. Absolute gamebreaker IF we commit to running the football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyPhreak24 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The Quad Father in Philly! Definitely did not expect this. It's a risky signing given his injury history, but he still has big play potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking in my crystal ball: When the contract details become known it will look a lot better for us. Always does with Roseman contracts.

How awesome would it be for the Eagles to now go out and win the Super Bowl next season with Barkley being healthy the entire season and getting 2000+ (total)? Giants boards would melt down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just worry we aren’t going to address the big major gaping holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked Jordan Hicks (even though he was injured too much). Bradham was fine too. But true, LB (followed by RB) was the position we invested the least in for sure. Most successful teams went that route though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vileborg Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This was a piece we were missing last year. It'll take some of the pressure off Hurts to carry the game and add another wrinkle to our offense that will make it easier to stress and break a defense and control the pace of the game.

Devaster Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 1 hour ago, Portyansky said: There are very few RBs in the league who can takeover a game. He is one of them. Pre-injury, yes. I'm not nearly as high on Barkley any more. We could have gone after Josh Jacobs for similar or less money. Or kept Swift for less. And I think the production would be relatively the same from all 3 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Everyone complaining about him being overpaid. My thoughts on that are.... it ISN'T YOUR MONEY, so why do you complain about it?? 🤣 Good signing. More holes to fill, but we still have $$ and the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
