Barkley admits to having a huge chip on his shoulder.
And why not? He signed a three-year $37.75 million contract as a free agent in the offseason to return closer to home with the Philadelphia Eagles. He has a better offensive line, a more established quarterback, and is part of a team that is a lot further along than his old one.that he not only had a hunch he wouldn't be back with the Giants after his contract ran out, he also never really felt as though he was wanted back.
Barkley earned the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award for his Week 1 performance against the Packers in Brazil in which he rushed for 109 yards and scored three times. Giants fans who feel spurned by Barkley’s decision to leave the team for what amounted to just $1 million more in guaranteed money than the best of the Giants’ multiple reported offers dating back to the 2022 bye week, no doubt took delight in Barkley’s gaffe.“I look at it as a blessing; I’m in a new chapter,” he said of being on the Eagles.
