Ex-Giants WR Saquon Barkley Terminates His Newly Signed 3-year Contract Deal with Eagles as He Craves For…
You acquire knowledge via living. Perhaps this is the lesson being taught. While we must not lose sight of the past or the lessons it has taught us, we also must not become so set in our ways as to oppose necessary change. Years have passed. There are moments when we think we understand Howie Roseman’s thoughts. The general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles repeatedly reminds us that we don’t. You only need to consider Saquon Barkley’s addition.
Eagle status for Saquon Barkley! We’re still in shock about this. Is it possible? We recall the discussions. Running backs are not valuable to the Eagles. They will never make a sizable financial commitment to the role. On the contrary, my dear brother! Nothing seems possible to be more false than this.
The former Penn State and New York Giants standout was signed by Philly on March 13th to a three-year, $37.75 million contract with a possible cap of $46.75 million. At signing, $26 million was guaranteed in full. That seems to end the conversation.
The yearly league assembly has commenced. Howie Roseman had a conversation with reporters. Among the subjects was the entire amount of money Saquon received.
We understand it in part. NFL running backs tend to have shorter careers than players in other positions. A big contract offered to a tailback player might require a warning label of its own. Proceed cautiously. Organizations worry that athletes won’t be able to maintain their health. Saquon contributes to the rationale for that in certain ways.
