The Saquon Barkley sweepstakes are over.
The Philadelphia Eagles were reportedly set to “aggressively” pursue Saquon Barkley at the start of the NFL free-agency period and they did just that.
The veteran running back is taking his talents from New York to Philadelphia to continue his career in the NFC East.
Barkley is set to sign with the Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75 million and includes $26 million fully guaranteed at signing, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Barkley has spent his career as one of the NFL’s most explosive playmakers when healthy. Last year, he recorded 962 rushing yards and six touchdowns while adding 280 yards and four scores on the ground.
The Penn State product has plenty in the tank as he has topped 1,000 total yards in four of his six NFL seasons, and the other two were plagued by injuries.
