It may not look right to see Saquon Barkley wearing Eagles green, but here's why his $37.75M deal with Philly is best for everyone involved.

This one is going to hurt in New York, there's no doubt about it. Saquon Barkley wasn't just one of the Giants' best players, he was by far their most popular. And he really did seem to want to be a Giant for life. It's never a great sign when a player like that wants to stay but his team refuses to pay him what he's worth. But the truth about Barkley's defection from the New York Giants to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday afternoon isn't that simple.

It would have made no sense for the Giants to overpay to bring him back and put him in the same messy situation. A running back won't help them win if they don't have a strong offensive line and a dangerous passing game. Barkley's last six years in New York provided more than enough proof of that. But he will surely help in Philadelphia.
