Saquon Barkley has been one of the biggest stories of the NFL off-season. After being drafted by the New York Giants in the first round of the 2018 NFL Entry Draft, he signed with rival Philidelphia Eagles.

Barkley signed a 3-year, $37.75 million deal with the Eagles in free agency, causing some stir among NFL fans who claimed the former Giants star ball carrier was a traitor. However, there was plenty of motivation behind the move.

The Giants’ inability to compete was one of the significant factors in the move; however, according to the RB himself, Barkley may think that the Eagles will no longer be competitive after a post to his Instagram story.

In a screenshot uploaded to X by user MLFootball, Barkley’s post on his story reads, “Before anyone else reports it, I want you to hear it from me first. I’m about to join a new franchise… again. Big announcement tomorrow.”

 


Saquon Barkley Could Be Joining A New Franchise, And Philly Fans Are Not Happy

One fan clearly isn’t happy with the post after commenting that the star running back could stay loyal to the Eagles, while another NFL fan joked that he was headed back to New York to join the Giants.

Other fans were quick to point out that the message was just posted to promote a new brand deals. One fan put it, “gotta be a branding deal,” while another fan added “It’s a branding deal,” while calling the Eagles star smart.

So far, neither of the two has been confirmed by either Barkley or the Eagles. However, it seems more likely that he will join a new brand. It would be a very big story if he were to change teams, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

REPORT: Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Star Is Suffering From PTSD, Ruled Out For Multiple Games

It looks like Marquise “Hollywood” Brown won’t be the only notable name missing from the Kansas City Chiefs’ lineup after news came out on running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

The reigning Super Bowl champions open the 2024 NFL season on Thursday, and they will be without the running back after they placed him on the non-football illness (NFI) list, as ESPN reported, guaranteeing at least a four-game absence due to an apparent mental health issue.

The former LSU standout has been battling PTSD.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire opened up about his battle with the disorder last month, saying it began in December 2018 over what he described as a “self-defense situation.”

That matter caused him to miss time at training camp.

Edwards-Helaire said the disorder has caused him to vomit or not be in his profession mentally. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is now on a treatment plan.


Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire Reveals ‘Very Overwhelming’ Struggle With PTSD

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was absent from training camp practice for two days in July due to what the team referred to as an illness at the time.

The following Monday, Edwards-Helaire took to X — formerly Twitter — to explain what he’s dealing with.

“Living With PTSD is no small feat, it’s hard and very overwhelming,” Edwards-Helaire wrote. “Within the last month Ive Had many flare ups and the Amazing staff here at the #Chiefs have been helping me get through some tough times. I’ll be back rolling next Practice! All Love, Glydro.”

The 25-year-old did not elaborate further on what caused the post-traumatic stress disorder. It should be noted that he has been involved in two shootings since 2018.

Back in February 2024, Clyde Edwards-Helaire was declared a hero for shielding a child during a shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration.

In 2018, while still in college at LSU, he and a teammate were involved in a robbery gone wrong that resulted in the death of a man who was attempting to rob Edwards-Helaire and the teammate.
