In this story:
Saquon Barkley left the New York Giants for the Philadelphia Eagles, signing a three-year, $37.75 million deal last week.
For Giants fans, it’s going to be tough to see their former star running back playing for one of their most heated rivals. For Eagles fans, they’re excited to add another explosive player to their stacked offense.
Philadelphia had fans all fired up on Monday when they released the first photo of Barkley with his new Jersey. The running back will be wearing No. 26, which he wore with the Giants and in college at Penn State.
