The running back\u00a0took to X to post about ongoing negative reactions to his move.<\/p>\n<p>Barkley\u2019s ire was raised when he was booed by fans of the\u00a0New York Knicks\u00a0when the team faced the\u00a0Philadelphia 76ers\u00a0on Thursday, May 2. Barkley was pictured sat alongside Eagles\u2019 wide receiver\u00a0A.J. Brown\u00a0at the Wells Fargo Arena, a sight that prompted a chorus of boos, per\u00a0WFAN host Evan Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>The reaction was not lost on Barkley. In fact, the two-time Pro Bowler felt the need to call out fans still upset he\u2019s no longer with the Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Barkley\u2019s\u00a0post read: \u201cIt\u2019s been two months\u2026 lol no way ya can still be this mad!

K SZN CSKB2B, who pointed out to Barkley, \u201cYou bailed. On New York. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Barkley\u00a0offered a rebuttal. Interestingly, the 27-year-old revealed he chose to join the Giants\u2019 fiercest rival only after Big Blue failed to make him an offer: \u201cLet me educate some of you fans here\u2026 I can\u2019t bail or become a traitor if I never got an offer to come back.. so I went to the organization I felt that was the best and after already being here for a month man I\u2019m excited to be a eagle !

Go birds \ud83e\udd85<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>The latest round of online back and forth only continues what has been a contentious reaction to Barkley joining the Eagles.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Saquon Barkley\u2019s Move to Eagles Still Stings Both Sides<\/h2>\n<p>Barkley signing a\u00a0three-year contract\u00a0with the Giants\u2019 biggest rival in the NFC East was always going to sting. Turn out the deal smarts for both the Giants and Barkley.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0public spat between\u00a0Barkley and Giants\u2019 all-time leading rusher Tiki Barber was the first example of pushback. Their brief, but icy exchange highlighted what impact suiting up for the Eagles will have on Barkley\u2019s legacy with the G-Men.<\/p>\n<p>That legacy involves being the second player drafted back in 2018. Barkley wasn\u2019t the quarterback many felt the Giants needed, but he did win Offensive Rookie of the Year after\u00a0rushing for 1,307 yards\u00a0while also snagging 91 receptions.<\/p>\n<p>Another 1,000-yard season followed in 2019, before a\u00a0torn ACL\u00a0caused Barkley to miss 14 games a year later. He bounced back in style in 2022 by rushing for a\u00a0career-high 1,312 yards\u00a0and helping propel the Giants to a surprise playoff berth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"7197520c7b4d1d572979c4514484ee22\">\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A big reason for the hot start? Saquon Barkley. After numerous injury-plagued seasons, No. 26 was back. He rushed for 726 yards through seven weeks and proved to be as dominant as advertised.<\/p>\n<p>In total, Saquon rushed for a career-high 1,312 yards and 10 TDs. \ud83d\ude24<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those numbers weren\u2019t enough for Barkley to get a long-term deal, despite the Giants having multiple chances to secure his future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giants Had Chances to Keep Saquon Barkley<\/h2>\n<p>The first of those chances was allowed to pass because the Giants instead handed a\u00a0four-year, $160-million contract\u00a0to quarterback\u00a0Daniel Jones\u00a0in 2023. It left Barkley to be\u00a0paid an adjusted version\u00a0of the franchise tag.<\/p>\n<p>Barkley made it clear\u00a0he didn\u2019t want the tag, nor anything like it, this time around. He essentially created a scenario where the Giants would either sign him for the long haul or allow their best player to test the market and risk a rival pouncing.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles duly obliged, but as\u00a0Pro Football Talk\u2019s Mike Florio\u00a0put it, \u201cDon\u2019t be mad at the kid. He\u2019s just trying to get paid for his services. The Giants had every opportunity over and over again. From the end of his third regular season in 2020, through March 11, when the Eagles had the ability to go try to sign him, the Giants had the exclusive right to try to sign him to a long-term deal, and they didn\u2019t. If you\u2019re gonna get mad, Giants fans, get mad at the Giants, don\u2019t get mad at Saquon Barkley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this Giants regime always acted comfortable with the idea of life without Barkley. That would be an easier sell if Barkley wasn\u2019t playing for a rival and having two chances per season to show the Giants and their fans what they\u2019re missing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0Saquon Barkley posted a strong response to fans still upset about his move from the New York Giants to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 NFL free agency&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":116458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116460,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116457\/revisions\/116460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
