One of the young players for the Philadelphia Eagles might be a great fit for the New York Giants.
Pro Football Focus’s Brad Spielberger speculated that Eagles Pro Bowl running back D’Andre Swift would find a “potential” home with the Giants. Saquon Barkley, the team’s starting running back, is about to hit free agency, so New York may have to find a new running back for the franchise.
Spielberger écrit : “If the Giants choose to move on from Saquon Barkley, they could pivot to another former top draft pick who played in their division the past year.” “Swift showed growth in 2023, hitting the designed hole and not trying to bounce out too often—an area Barkley has similarly improved over the years—and offers pass-catching ability.”
Pendant sa première saison à Philadelphia, Swift a réalisé son premier 1,000-yard saison et a également remporté son premier Pro Bowl berth. Néanmoins, les Eagles sont connus pour leurs méthodes penny-pinching avec leurs running backs, ce qui a permis à Miles Sanders de rejoindre le Pro Bowl en 2022.
During the offseason, Sanders signed a four-year, $25.4 million deal with the Carolina Panthers only to emerge as a total bust during his first season there. During the 2023 season, Sanders ran for 432 yards on 3.3 yards per carry, the third-lowest average of the top 48 rushing leaders.
Il reste à déterminer si les Eagles adopteront une approche similaire à celle de Swift cette saison estivale. Selon Spotrac, Swift an un market value de $6.7 million par saison sur les quatre années, soit un total de légèrement plus de $27.1 million.
Compared, Barkely’s market value is estimated at $9.9 million per season over three years, for a total of approximately $30 million.
