Even Barkley thought the nickname was clever.
this offseason and the backlash from his former team's fans was swift and brutal. A lot of nasty things were said about the man who spent six years in a Giants' uniform, but there was one nickname that even he had to laugh about."Snake-quon, I said that one's hilarious," Barkley said "... I love life, like I can laugh at stuff."July 23, 2024
The Eagles gave Barkley a three-year, $37.75 million deal this offseason and he jumped at it. The deal came after years of haggling with the Giants over a long-term deal led to nothing. Philadelphia is also in win-now mode, which had to be appealing after the Giants went 34-64-1 during his time with the team.
In 2022, Barkley rushed for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns, while adding 57 receptions for 338 yards. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry. In 2023, he had 962 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 247 carries and added 41 receptions for 280 yards and four more scores. He had two solid seasons in a row and cashed in, when the Giants had refused to lock him up. Fans should blame the team's front office for wasting that chance.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
