Report: Eagles have a real interest in signing Giants free agent RB Saquon Barkley

Howard Eskin reports that the Philadelphia Eagles are interested in signing New York Giants free agent running back Saquon Barkley

The Eagles need a running back, and three players are testing free agency.

A local star could be looking to make a statement to his current team while remaining in the rugged NFC East.

Howard Eskin does his bit of news-breaking in Philadelphia.

The legendary sports radio host and analyst reports that the Eagles are seriously interested in signing former Penn State star Saquon Barkley.

In 14 games last season, Barkley logged 962 yards and six rushing touchdowns, 41 receptions for 280 yards, and four touchdowns for the 6-11 Giants.

Barkley would pair well with Kenneth Gainwell while giving Philadelphia an explosive playmaker in Kellen Moore’s offense.
