In January 2023, while preparing for a Super Bowl run, Howie Roseman and the Eagles staff discussed possible offseason additions, including running back Saquon Barkley. Despite the Giants placing a franchise tag on Barkley, the Eagles recognized his potential impact as a game-changer. The 2023 season saw struggles for the Eagles, prompting renewed interest in Barkley in January 2024, despite the running back's expensive price tag. Historically, the Eagles have been cautious about paying running backs top dollar, indicating a strategic shift could be on the horizon if they pursue Barkley.
Saquon Barkley was a subject of interest for Howie Roseman and the Eagles, showcasing how valuable 'difference-makers' are for any position despite traditional positional considerations.
The Eagles' analysis included impressive tape review of Barkley, affirming he is 'a nightmare to game plan against' as he hasn't been limited by them in recent years.
