Micah Parsons has 1-word reaction to Saquon Barkley signing with Eagles
Saquon Barkley is moving from one of the Dallas Cowboys’ biggest rivals to another, and Micah Parsons is not happy about it.
Barkley on Monday agreed to a 3-year, $37.75 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. The former New York Giants star confirmed the news by posting two eagle emojis on social media.
That post alone was enough to make Parsons nauseous. The star pass-rusher had a one-word reply — “sickening.”
There was talk over the weekend that the Cowboys might have interest in Barkley, so perhaps Parsons was hoping the two would become teammates. Instead, Parsons will still have to face Barkley two times a season, just when Dallas takes on a different rival.
In addition to learning that Barkley had signed with Philadelphia, Parsons also had to cope with the fact that the Cowboys lost their own starting running back. That probably is not the way he wanted the free agency tampering period to begin.
Insider Hints More Moves Are Coming For The Eagles
After starting the 2023 NFL regular season with 10 wins in their first 11 games, the then-defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles seemed like a team that was a force to be reckoned with once again in the conference.
Unfortunately, that was the last time there was optimism in Philadelphia during the 2023 campaign, as the team fell apart after that, resulting in the Eagles looking like they had lost that spirit that helped them be a success the season prior.
Ultimately, the Eagles were still able to make the NFL playoffs, but they flamed out in spectacular fashion in the first round of the postseason, with Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers crushing Philadelphia and ending their season.
With the 2023 campaign ending in disappointment, the Eagles were expected to make some moves during the offseason, and it seems as though that turned out to be true, with the team agreeing to sign veteran star running back Saquon Barkley, formerly of the division-rival New York Giants.
After the news surfaced about the signing of Barkley, Dianna Russini of The Athletic stoked the fire a bit on Twitter, hinting at the Eagles not being done making moves.
At this point in time, it is unclear what potential big moves the Eagles could make moving forward and whether it’ll be another big signing or a significant trade to upgrade the roster.
With the Eagles losing center Jason Kelce and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox to retirement, the team could address either the offensive line or defensive line to replace these two savvy veterans or address another area of need entirely.
