"Historic" is a word used often with Barkley. You can find his name all over the Penn State record books from his collegiate playing days, and he was one of the most coveted recruits coming out of high school. After an injury-riddled career with the Giants, who drafted Barkley second overall in 2018, the team and his agent couldn't agree on a contract. Barkley flew the coup, signing a $38 million deal with the Eagles, a longtime Giants rival.
It's safe to say the Eagles have no regrets at this time. Barkley's Pro Bowl season has helped lift Philadelphia to an NFC Championship, and they're now one win away from a Super Bowl title. (The Giants didn't make the playoffs.)
