It is always a wild first day of NFL free agency, with millions of NFL fans and media members refreshing social media feeds, waiting for that star playing to agree to terms with their team.
For Eagles fans, that time happened just before 3 pm ET when the former Penn State star and New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley announced he was signing a three-year, $37 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. It only took two eagle emojis from Saquon’s X (formerly known as Twitter) account that he was indeed signing with the Eagles.
The deal will be official on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, when the new league year begins, but until then, here are the best reactions from X about Barkley’s new home.
Is this how all Penn State and Eagle fans feel??
