Eagles Will Keep Barkley Through Trade Deadline

The Philadelphia Eagles will keep Saquon Barkley through the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline, according to reports and Barkley, who said the team told him he would not be traded. After Philadelphia’s 27-10 loss to Washington left it 2-6 with six straight defeats, Barkley said he wants to stay and help turn the season around. Barkley, 29, has been limited by hamstring and back injuries and has two years and slightly more than $35 million remaining on his contract. The decision suggests Philadelphia intends to retain him as part of its future rather than trade him for draft picks, despite the team’s struggles and uncertainty around its roster.
