The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a fresh start after a roller-coaster offensive performance last season. The team, once a dominant force, struggled to find the consistency that had previously made them a formidable opponent.
With Kevin Patullo out as offensive coordinator, the Eagles have brought in former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion to breathe new life into their offensive strategy. This change has particularly energized veteran running back Saquon Barkley.
"I'm super excited about it," Barkley shared on NFL Insiders. "I'm heading into Year 9, which is wild to think about.
I've worked with a lot of coaches and systems, but this one feels different. It's refreshing to learn something new."
So, what does 2026 hold for the Eagles? After an uneven 2025, the hope is for a rebound. The talent is undeniably there; it's just about finding the right system to unlock the potential of players like Barkley and others.
The offensive line will be under scrutiny, especially with the departure of star coach Jeff Stoutland. Additionally, decisions surrounding A.J.
Brown will be crucial. The Eagles have a lot of moving parts this offseason, but sometimes a shake-up is just what a team needs.
For Barkley, the focus is clear-he's ready to dive back into the grind and help steer the Eagles back on course for the upcoming season.
