The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to pull off some deals this offseason.
The NFC outfit has lost two of their best players to retirement in Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. They are also said to be open to trades for Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick.
According to MLFootball, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman will “heavily pursue” running back Saquon Barkley and safety Xavier McKinney in free agency. Both players have spent their careers with the New York Giants but are both set to become free agents.

Two Of The Best Players In The League Are Leaving Giants This Year
Barkley was franchise-tagged by the Giants last year but the team has chosen to let him leave this offseason. The 27-year-old remains one of the best RBs in the NFL and would immediately improve Philly’s offense.
He led the league in yards from scrimmage in his rookie season in 2018 and, over the past two seasons, has recorded 2,892 yards and 20 touchdowns.

McKinney, meanwhile, could be the best safety set to hit the free-agent market. The 24-year-old played all 17 games for NY last season, registering 78 tackles, 11 pass breakups, three interceptions, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.
He’s made nine INTs since going pro but has also had his issues with injuries, only playing 49 games in four seasons. Signing with the Eagles would reunite him with several former Alabama teammates in Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, and Landon Dickerson.
