Eagles RB Tank Bigsby is touted as a handcuff for Saquon Barkley, offering a solid RB2 backup on the waiver wire
Barkley looks like he's primed for a big bounce-back year
Like last year, the Eagles have five offensive captains. Like last year, the Eagles have two defensive captains. Unlike last year, the Eagles have no special-teams captains. The Eagles announced their seven 2026 captains on Friday: quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley, receiver DeVonta Smith, tackle Lane Johnson, tackle Jordan Mailata, linebacker Zack Baun, and defensive tackle Jordan Davis. Smith replaces receiver A.J. Brown, and Davis replaces safety Reed Blankenship. No one replaces kicker Jake Elliott, who wore a ‘C’ in 2025. Davis is the only first-time captain. Hurts has won the distinction for a fifth straight year. Most teams have at least one special-teams captain. Some teams prefer not to potentially distract a kicker’s pregame ritual with any additional responsibilities that come from being a game-day captain

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley hates joint practices. Barkley said after a joint practice with the Patriots that he dislikes the way hot-headed players don’t control themselves in joint practices and are more interested in refusing to back down from someone in a different-colored jersey than in getting better. “I hate joint practice, to be honest. I think one day is good, but we play in an ego-filled sport with a lot of men, and I’m all about just putting the work in,” Barkley said. “I’m not really a fan of joint practice. More times than not, nothing good comes out of it. Like you have the work, it’s good but then you get to pushing, the shoving and someone says this about you and it’s immature when we get to that level. I’ve got to do a better job too because I’m a little troublemaker sometimes, but I was a good this week.” Barkley said players should be able to walk away from that stuff. “Football is a physical game, and it’s just a little extra pushing and shoving, but we’ve got to do a better job of not allowing that to have a factor in our practice,” Barkley said
Saquon Barkley expressed his approval of the recent lucrative contracts signed by fellow running backs Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Jonathan Taylor, stating that this trend is how the market for the position should be. Barkley, whose own contract averages $20.6 million annually, now ranks below these three backs who have surpassed $22 million per season
