Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley received assurances from the front office that he will remain with the team beyond the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Barkley stated the message "definitely does mean a lot" as he looks to help the team "fix it" amid a six-game losing streak. The Eagles, now 2-6 this season, host the NFC East-leading New York Giants next Sunday in their final game before the deadline.
General manager Howie Roseman has been active in trades, recently dealing offensive lineman Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley, dealing with hamstring and back injuries, played just 22 of 68 snaps against the Washington Commanders, finishing with 14 touches for 54 yards and a touchdown. Despite social media speculation, Barkley said he "really didn't read too much into" his future, adding he has "nothing but respect for this organization, top to bottom." He views himself as a leader capable of turning the season around.
The Eagles look to end their skid and secure Barkley's long-term future as they prepare for a crucial divisional matchup.
