Inside Saquon Barkley’s night at the Met Gala - ESPN
He also accomplished one of the most creative and viral highlights in recent memory, with his backward hurdle of a defender. Next season, he’s hoping to top it and will likely obey his mother’s request for him to retire the move. He hasn’t had a chance to practice it yet, but he has his sights on a spin move. “How can I adapt the spin?” Barkley explains. “It was a 180 move, so it would be cool if I could do a full 360.” He sees it clearly in his head, but it has to be the right time for it, and the move has to be perfected so that when it hits, it looks like something only Superman can do.
Dallas Goedert, Eagles reportedly expected to agree to reworked contract that keeps the veteran tight end in Philly [UPDATE] - BGN
It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles will NOT be trading Dallas Goedert this offseason after all. The Eagles and Goedert “have been in negotiations on a reworked contract that would keep the tight end in Philadelphia,” according to a report from the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. He adds that talks between the two sides picked up after the 2025 NFL Draft. This welcomed development comes after no shortage of trade rumors about the Eagles wanting to trade Goedert in part to save cash. Wanting to move on from Goedert at his current pay rate wasn’t totally inexplicable since the 30-year-old has struggled with injuries.
Mailbag: How many compensatory picks should the Eagles expect to receive in the 2026 NFL Draft? - PhillyVoice
Question from @premoveobserver (via Threads): Watching Vic Fangio’s reaction to the Jihaad Campbell pick, it’s clear that he has Howie’s ear and respect. I believe he played a major role in Jordan Davis’ fifth-year option being picked up. What do you see the big man doing in his second year in Vic’s system? ... You can see Vic’s reaction to the Campbell pick at the 9:35 mark above. (On a side note: Re: the debate over whether Campbell will primarily be an off-ball linebacker or an edge defender, that other guy that walked in with Vic was linebackers coach Bobby King.) Anyway, I agree that the Eagles’ personnel department gives weight to Vic’s opinions. I’m not so sure Vic is super in love with Jordan Davis as a player, or he’d be playing him more. The Eagles invested a lot of draft capital in Davis before Vic joined the team. It feels more like the front office is hopeful that Davis can make a big leap in Year 4. As for 2025 expectations, with the loss of Williams in free agency Davis is going to have to play more. This time last year it was clear that Jalen Carter was going to have to play more with the loss of Fletcher Cox...
