Barry Sanders Congratulates Saquon Barkley on Eagles Contract amid Tiki Barber Beef

At least one former running back is happy for Saquon Barkley after he agreed to a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.

Hall of Famer Barry Sanders congratulated Barkley for his new deal, adding that he is looking forward to watching the Penn State product "run that rock."

That stands in stark contrast to the response from former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber, who said on WFAN Sports Radio: "You're dead to us, Saquon. Good luck, you're dead to me."

His comments came after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Barkley and the Eagles agreed to a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could increase to $46.75 million with incentives.

Barber spent his entire 10-season career with the Giants, which is something Barkley had previously discussed wanting to do with his own career.

However, it seems like he wasn't given that chance.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported Tuesday "the Giants never really had any intention of signing Barkley this offseason. They never made him an offer, according to a source close to the situation."

Perhaps with that in mind, Barkley responded to Barber's comments accordingly:

Sanders is another running back who spent his entire career with one team. However, a Super Bowl title is about the only thing he didn't accomplish during his legendary tenure with the Detroit Lions.

Barkley now has a better chance to win a Lombardi Trophy and avoid that fate than he would have if he remained with a Giants organization that finished with a losing record in six of the last seven seasons.

Philadelphia is just one season removed from a Super Bowl appearance and has no shortage of offensive talent with Jalen Hurts, Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The running back will likely see lighter boxes than he did in New York considering opposing defenses also have to account for two game-changing wide receivers in Smith and Brown, which could result in even better production.

Sanders is apparently looking forward to watching just that.
