Saquon Barkley has made a difficult decision this season as he decided to leave the New York Giants after six years of spending his career with the team.
Barkley has signed a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles and will move on with them for the upcoming season. However, it wasn’t his deal but his daughter’s words, which shocked everyone.
Saquon Barkley’s daughter torched the entire Giants kingdom
The RB’s daughter, Jada Barkley, is only five years old but her comments torched the entire Giants Kingdom. On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles shared a video in which they detailed Barkley’s first full day with the organization.
Barkley started talking at the 1:13 mark about how his daughter came to recognize the Eagles in relation to the Giants. He shared that when Jada got to know about his decision to move to the Philadelphia Eagles, his daughter said,
“Does that mean we’re gonna win now?”
It seems like the five-year-old daughter of Barkley is also aware of his father’s struggles with the Giants. Her words went viral, which triggered many Giants fans as well.
However, when Saquon Barkley got to know about it, he took it as a hilarious situation that her daughter went viral for simple words. He tweeted, making fun of the situation,
“Man I tell you what some of ya get on this app and just reach for anything.”
The Giants had a great season only once during Barkley’s six-year tenure with the team. Their head-to-head record against the Eagles is 3-10. Expectedly, Barkley’s daughter’s words will prove true, and he will enjoy more success with his new team.
Saquon Barkley is ready for Eagles duty
Now that Saquon Barkley has decided to move to the Eagles, he is also excited about this move. He signed a three-year, $37.75 million deal on Monday.
Barkley’s contract includes $26 million in guaranteed money and could be worth up to $46.75 million, including incentives.
The reason Barkley chose this team was because he wanted to be near home and play for a team that consistently wins. With the Giants, he couldn’t show his full potential but with the Eagles, he is expecting to show the world his true potential.
After spending six years with the Giants, Eagles GM Howie Roseman signed Saquon Barkley. The RB expressed his excitement about this move to Howie Roseman by tweeting,
“I’m excited and I’m ready (with eye emojis)”
Moving to the Eagles wasn’t a very hard decision for him, considering he had nothing he was leaving behind. He has Pennsylvanian roots, which will help him adjust easily. The RB also had a strained relation with the Giants and was looking for peace.
Let’s wait and watch how this new move affects Saquon Barkley’s future and whether the Eagles will let him show his full potential or not.
