The Philadelphia Eagles and running back Saquon Barkley have a mutual interest heading into the start of free agency, according to multiple reports.
The New York Post and Philadelphia’s WIP radio both reported Thursday on Barkley’s potential move from the New York Giants to their NFC East rivals.
The Giants opted not to put the franchise tag on Barkley earlier this week, and the two-time Pro Bowl selection is set to become a free agent for the first time.
Barkley, who turned 27 last month, is coming off a 2023 season with 1,242 yards from scrimmage and 10 scores.
Drafted by the Giants with the No. 2 pick in 2018, Barkley has rushed for 5,211 yards and 35 touchdowns on 1,201 carries in 74 games (all starts). He also has 288 receptions for 2,100 yards and 12 touchdowns.
D’Andre Swift, 25, rushed for 1,049 yards in his first season with his hometown Eagles in 2023 but is also a free agent.
