Saquon Barkley’s tenure with the New York Giants was marked by a single winning season, and his daughter unintentionally highlighted the franchise’s struggles after learning about her father’s move to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Selected second overall by the Giants in the 2018 NFL Draft, Barkley quickly made an impact, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors with over 1,300 rushing yards in his debut season. However, as the Giants transitioned to Daniel Jones at quarterback, the team faced challenges finding success on the field.
Despite a playoff appearance in 2022, Barkley and the Giants faced contract negotiations and disagreements. After a disappointing 6-11 season, Barkley opted for a fresh start with the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles, signing a lucrative three-year deal worth over $37 million.
The Eagles held a dominant 12-3 record against the Giants during Barkley’s tenure with his former team. Reflecting on his decision to join the Eagles, Barkley shared an amusing anecdote: his five-year-old daughter, Jada, astutely asked, “Does that mean we’re going to win now?” upon hearing the news.
