Saquon Barkley opened up about his departure from the New York Giants while engaging with fans on social media Thursday night.

Barkley attended Thursday night's game between the Sixers and Knicks in Philadelphia. When shown on the Jumbotron, he was booed by the New York fans in attendance.

"It's been two months," Barkley said on X, "lol no way ya can still be this mad! Mf can't even go to a basketball game."

Someone responded to Barkley, pointing out that he bailed on New York.

"Let me educate some of you fans here," he replied. "I can't bail or become a traitor if I never got an offer to come back ... so I went to the organization I felt that was the best and after already being here for a month man I'm excited to be a eagle! Go birds."

Barkley undoubtedly is referring to 2024, because the Giants reportedly made offers to Barkley on a long-term deal in 2023.

Jason Kelce will sign a deal with ESPN to be a part of the network's 'Monday Night Countdown.'

Kelce recently retired after spending 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

ESPN has yet to officially announce the hiring.

Kelce participated in last year's NFL Broadcasting and Media Workshop. He has also appeared on numerous NFL broadcasts, including a stint with Amazon's "Thursday Night Football" during an off week in 2023.

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing offensive tackle Mekhi Becton to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million.

Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland encouraged the signing of Becton, a former first-round pick of the New York Jets.

Becton, drafted 11th overall in 2020, had a promising rookie year before missing essentially two seasons due to injury and then enjoying a comeback campaign in 2023.

The Philadelphia Eagles tied an NFL record for most trades in a seven-round draft with eight. They join the 2023 Houston Texans and 2018 New England Patriots for most draft-day trades since 1990.

The wheeling and dealing by general manager Howie Roseman kicked into overdrive Saturday, as Philadelphia executed five different trades on Day 3.

The Philadelphia Eagles moved up in the second round to select Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean. 

The Eagles traded both of their second-round picks - Nos. 50 and 53 - along with a fifth-round pick to the Washington Commanders for picks 40 and 78.

DeJean was a projected first round pick, but was still available at No. 40.

DeJean totaled seven interceptions and 13 passes defensed over the past two seasons for Iowa while also making an impact as a punt returner.

The Chicago Bears led off the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Caleb Williams out of USC as expected with the Washington Commanders taking Jayden Daniels at No. 2 and the New England Patriots also taking a quarterback at No. 3 in Drake Maye.

There were a NFL draft record 23 offensive players selected in the first round:

• Six Quarterbacks

• Seven Wide Receivers

• Nine Offensive Linemen

• One Tight End

A.J. Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a three-year, $96 million extension. The $84 million is the most guaranteed money in NFL history for a wide receiver, surpassing the $77 million guaranteed that Amon-Ra St. Brown recently received from the Detroit Lions. 

Brown's $32 million average annual value is also the highest for any receiver in the NFL.

Earlier this month, the Eagles signed DeVonta Smith to a three-year extension worth $75 million with $51 million guaranteed.

The NFL's investigation into alleged tampering by the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles remains ongoing and will not be concluded this week, according to the league.

The Eagles and Falcons each have eight picks in the 2024 draft. The timing of the potential punishments now means that neither team will lose draft picks this year.

Atlanta is being investigated for allegedly being in direct contact with Kirk Cousins before they were legally allowed to according to league rules.

The Eagles are being investigated for alleged tampering regarding their signing of Saquon Barkley.

The NFL will soon announce punishments for tampering charges against both the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles during this year's free agency period.

The punishment for the Falcons is expected to be more severe as Kirk Cousins admitted on-the-record that he communicated with Atlanta's athletic trainer and head of public relations before the new league year.

Saquon Barkley's college head coach at Penn State, James Franklin, alluded to Barkley and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman speaking on the phone before such communication was allowed.

The Miami Dolphins lost their 2023 first-round draft choice and a 2024 third-rounder for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton three different times from 2019 through 2022. Owner Stephen Ross was fined $1.5 million, and team vice chair and limited partner Bruce Beal received a $500,000 fine. 

The Kansas City Chiefs lost their 2016 third-rounder and a 2017 sixth-round choice for tampering with wide receiver Jeremy Maclin in 2015. 

Jalen Hurts hopes the Philadelphia Eagles find continuity at offensive coordinator with the hiring of Kellen Moore.

"I think as a player, I definitely yearn for the sustainability and the consistency there. ... As a quarterback, I yearn for those things in a playcaller and a quarterback coach because you kind of see how consistency in those areas can breed excellence," Hurts said.

"I find myself in a situation very similar to college in terms of having a constantly revolving door in terms of coordinators and coaches. But I've always managed to have success in it, so that's always been a good thing, because you've been able to learn from people and apply it."

Hurts had continuity at offensive coordinator for the 2021 and 2022 seasons under Shane Steichen, but he left the Eagles to become head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

Moore is expected to be "in charge" of the offense, per Sirianni's phrasing, with Sirianni taking on a more macro-level role after being the chief offensive designer for his first three seasons in Philadelphia.
