The former Giants star running back is making his homecoming to MetLife Stadium this Sunday and is hoping to leave his mark on the rivalry from the enemy side.
For those in the stands and the outskirts of the Big Apple, the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles rivalry carries a weight of different meanings as one of the longest and most buzz-worthy duels in NFL history, that has seen so many big moments and is now bringing an intriguing twist into the 2024 season.
The Eagles lured Barkley to their backyard with a three-year agreement worth $37.75 million that included $26 million in total guarantees, providing the running back the kind of financial security he had been able to find with the Giants. Whichever way it falls, Barkley isn’t going to let that be the main focus of his homecoming. He believes the emotional environment won’t be as scathing as people think, and instead is eager to compete and add a new mark to the history of the most storied division in the league.“If you had asked me this question like a year or two ago, I would have never expected to be on this side of it. But I think it’s cool. It’s fun.
It made parting ways with those guys difficult, but the ball carrier knew he must do what was best for the longevity of his professional career at a position that’s been slowly losing stability. One thing he and the Eagles will have to contend with to achieve that is the strength of that Giants defensive front, a group that was heavily invested into this past summer and leads the NFL in sacks accumulated at 26 overall while allowing just four touchdowns to opponents in the last month of the season.
