Saquon Barkley shown in full Eagles uniform for first time in new video
NY Post
It just got even harder for Giants fans to look at one of their biggest rivals.
On Thursday afternoon, the Eagles unveiled a video of former Giants running back Saquon Barkley donning their midnight green and white colors in a post on X.
Despite his new uniform, Barkley kept several of his typical accessories, including a visor and a black left-arm sleeve.
Eagles fans first had the opportunity to see Barkley in his new threads on April 15, when the team began its offseason training program — but not his authentic game jersey.
Barkley, who spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in New York, signed with the NFC East rival on a three-year, $37.75 million contract this offseason, becoming the fourth-highest-paid running back by average annual value.
Barkley’s return to Pennsylvania — where he attended high school and college — was sparked by the organization’s fundamental traits.
It was only a three-second glimpse, but Matt Rempe, finally, showcased offensive strides. The ones he started talking about in the preseason — after a summer’s worth of work — and kept doubling down on, even when he fluctuated in and out of the Rangers lineup and shuttled back and forth to AHL Hartford.
In a different time, in a season to come, we may be inclined to wax poetic about the way this one played out. In a different time, in a season to come, the Nets will be seeking to stack wins and not losses, will be fighting for playoff seeding and not for a few extra ping-pong balls in the draft lottery this spring.
The NBA has an All-Star Game problem. Despite Adam Silver’s efforts to inject juice into the February showcase — including a format alteration to the 2025 game that is too confusing to attempt to understand before it’s inevitably changed again — there’s little interest in watching teams eschew defense for a series of layup line highlights. That also means the most entertaining part of the NBA All-Star Game is just like the Pro Bowl — debating over who should get a spot.
