New Eagles RB Saquon Barkley Is Trying To Pry One NFL Superstar Out Of Retirement To Join Him For The 2024 Season

Saquon Barkley is already trying to make sure the Philadelphia Eagles have a much better 2024 season than they had in 2023.

The Eagles committed to Saquon Barkley by signing him to a three-year, $37.75 million deal this offseason as the team believes the 27-year-old running back could add a different dimension to Philadelphia’s offense, which already ranked eighth in total yards in 2023.

To help in that offense, Saquon Barkley is trying to put in the offseason work to get a player back on the team.

On this week’s episode of “New Heights,” Barkley made his pitch to Jason Kelce about potentially returning for one more season.

“I’m like a kid in a candy store. I’m happy,” Barkley said. “I got a fresh start. I can’t wait to meet everybody and just go out there and play ball.”

When Kelce replied to Barkley that “it’s gonna be great,” Barkley replied, “You don’t gotta watch it, you know.”

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement earlier this offseason with an emotional speech that could make anyone cry. Despite his decision, Saquon Barkley wants him to come back for at least one more possible Super Bowl run.

Even though Barkley’s attempt to persuade Jason to come out of retirement is probably doomed, it’s astonishing that the standout running back is still with the Eagles. It was not uncommon for Philadelphia’s general manager, Howie Roseman, to underpay running backs.

Barkley is undoubtedly seen by Roseman and the Eagles as a leader and game-changer, both on and off the field.

Since Saquon Barley was drafted by the New York Giants in 2018, the team has only had one winning season and one trip to the playoffs that resulted in one victory.

Before the 2022 season, the Giants had never won more than six games with Barkley on the team.

He now moves to the Philadelphia Eagles who regularly go to the playoffs and even a Super Bowl occasionally, so now he gets a chance to experience what being on a winning franchise feels like.
