Doing so should free up star RB Saquon Barkley to have more of a season like 2024 than like 2025, as he proved last year that he cannot carry an offense that relies so heavily on just running the ball

Positive signalProjection

Barkley poised for 2024-like season with more receiving opportunities.

RB Saquon Barkley should have a season more like 2024 than 2025 under the Eagles' new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion; the source notes Barkley proved in 2025 that he cannot carry an offense that relies so heavily on just running the ball. Giving him more screen passes and outside-zone attempts should improve his yards per attempt in 2026.
