Saquon Barkley is staying with the Philadelphia Eagles through the trade deadline, despite swirling rumors of a move.

Barkley himself reacted on NBC Sports Philadelphia and affirmed his commitment on Yahoo Sports, vowing to help the club improve.

The assurance arrives as the Eagles struggle with a six-game losing streak and manage Barkley’s injury, fueling calls from Yahoo Sports analysts to shut him down for the rest of the 2026 season.
