Bleeding Green Nation on Saquon Barkley
From the article
The Eagles should absolutely trade Saquon Barkley if they get a good offer. Getting at least one second-round pick is probably key to making that deal work. A second-round pick and a third-round pick? Should be a no-brainer. Barkley is still good; it's not a slam on him. Rather, it's about him not really fitting the team's timeline to contend moving forward.
STACKED’s take
Barkley's age and rebuild timeline make him a trade candidate despite his talent.
The source suggests the Eagles should trade Barkley if they receive a good offer, with at least a second-round pick being key to making the deal work; a second-round and third-round pick would be a no-brainer. Barkley is still good, but doesn't fit the team's timeline to contend moving forward. At 29 years old in 2026, the source questions how likely Barkley is to remain a prime player the next time the Eagles are ready for playoff football, especially with a rebuild in mind. However, trading Barkley would saddle the Eagles with approximately $26.5 million in dead cap in 2027 on top of the $27.1 million Brown has already left behind, a significant hurdle to overcome.
