Barkley will likely be joined in the backfield by AJ Dillon and Will Shipley, who also has some pass-catching skills. The Eagles will be mindful of Barkley's snap count after logging a career-high 345 attempts in 2024, but it doesn't sound like his playing time will be reduced dramatically.

Swift was good, but the Eagles wanted to add more firepower and for some reason the New York Giants were willing to let Saquon Barkely walk in free agency. The Eagles clearly were familiar with Barkley.
