I'm having a hard time envisioning this on the field
Imagine a lineup on offense.
Both Justin Jefferson and Odell Beckham Jr wide-outs.
And a two-back lineup, with Aaron Jones and Saquon Barkley in the backfield.
I'd probably wet my pants. And I don't wear Depends :-)
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.
Thomas, if Kyler Murray can continue to get better and if somehow they traded for Saquon Barkley, watch out. And I mean zero doubts about it. But that’s pie in the sky right now…but a 4-0 record where there's literally nowhere to go but up on offense has got to have Nolan's neck hair up. We'll see.

I believe Saquon Barkleys contract makes him damn near untradable.

What a lineup! Is it possible? Yes ~ Probable? No

I agree, I don't think it is wise for the Eagles to do so. This the breakdown on how it "could" happen.
Dead Cap Burden: Trading Barkley would trigger a massive multi-million-dollar dead cap hit—potentially around $39.5 million total with over $26 million in accelerated dead cap—which could push the Eagles' cap room heavily into the negative.
Trading for Saquon could definitely help the team, but I have ZERO expectations for OBJ at this point in his career.

Yeah, this is not the OBJ of 10 years ago. In the last three seasons combined, he's caught 9 balls and scored 0 TDs. Maybe he's still got something? But I think this was more a cheap veteran depth move. I'd be surprised if he contributes.

Are they rumored to be looking to move him? My Eagles fan relatives (not the types who carry pipe wrenches to the games, thankfully) are already bummed at how the team seems to be falling apart.
