For a lot of people, the fact that former NY Giants No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley will now suit up for the Eagles is something they won't be able to get over. Barkley was a stud the past six seasons with the G-Men, but he made the heartbreaking decision to join Philly this offseason.
As we've said before, we don't blame Barkley whatsoever, as Howie Roseman put $37.75 million and $26 million guaranteed in front of him. Joe Schoen was never going to come close to matching that. While we wish Barkley well, it still stings that he's all smiles in Philly. He's not the only one, as his daughter seemed pretty excited about the new deal too. Say it ain't so, little Jada!
First thing Saquon Barkley's daughter said when he told her he was going to the Eagles:

Saquon Barkley suiting up for the Eagles will never sit right with Giants fans
Has Jada forgotten that Barkley and the Giants took down the Eagles to end the 2023 season? The Eagles have dominated the rivalry of late and they've nearly brought home another Super Bowl title in recent years, so we're not mad at Jada for thinking this.
At the end of the day, this was a harmless clip with Barkley involved, but a quick look at social media shows that there are a lot of Big Blue supporters who didn't find what his daughter had to say too funny at all. Don't take it too seriously, Barkley appears to have posted:
Man I tell you what some of ya get on this app and just reach for anything 😂😂

There are still loads of folks who are disappointed that Barkley has joined the enemy, so it's not a surprise to see a lot of angry Giants fans coming out and voicing their displeasure. If anything, though, this just makes the two upcoming games during the regular season that much more intriguing.
We hope Jada has a ton of fun at both games, but in this case, we're hoping her dad's team posts an L - that's something people in New York and New Jersey have been able to say for quite some time.
