After rolling with D'Andre Swift as the team's running back in 2023, the Eagles switched things up and signed Saquon Barkley in free agency after he spent the beginning of this career as a member of the New York Giants. The Eagles were familiar with him after being on the opposite side of the field.

Barkley will likely be joined in the backfield by AJ Dillon and Will Shipley, who also has some pass-catching skills. The Eagles will be mindful of Barkley's snap count after logging a career-high 345 attempts in 2024, but it doesn't sound like his playing time will be reduced dramatically.

In Super Bowl LIX, Barkley rushed for 57 yards in the Eagles’ 40-22 win over the Chiefs. In his first regular season with Philadelphia, he rushed for 2,005 yards for 13 touchdowns on 345 carries. He finished third in MVP voting behind Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
