Overview
- NFL Network insiders reported on Sunday that the Eagles told other teams Barkley will not be moved before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
- The decision reflects the club’s view that Barkley belongs in the roster the Eagles expect to compete with in 2027 rather than being sold for near‑term draft picks.
- Barkley has been limited by hamstring and back issues this season and has logged only 43 carries for 244 yards in five games, which has reduced his immediate trade leverage.
- Financial constraints drove the stance because Barkley’s extension runs through 2028 and trading him now would create roughly a $26 million dead‑money charge against Philadelphia’s cap.
- The Eagles remain active on the market for other veterans and have taken calls on players like Dallas Goedert and Riq Woolen while signaling intent to keep and re‑sign young defensive tackle Moro Ojomo.
