Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was the victim of a home invasion at his residence on Saturday, according to a statement from the Chester County District Attorney's Office.
The incident reportedly happened around 5 a.m. Barkley, whose net worth is listed at around $30 million by Celebrity Net Worth, was not injured, and neither was his family. Authorities said they are still working to identify the people involved.
"The Chester County District Attorney's Office is aware of a home invasion that occured at the residence of NFL Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, in Tredyffrin Township earlier this morning," the statement read.
"We are incredibly grateful that the Barkley family was not injureed during this incident. We are asking the public to help us identify those responsible by checking any home security cameras for suspicious activity in the area around 5 a.m. ,,, This remains an active and ongoing investigation. The Chester County Detectives are assisting Tredyffrin Township Police Department as the investigation continues."
Police also released an image of a white SUV that may have been connected to the burglary attempt. Capt. Tyler Moyer told NBC Philadelphia that investigators believe more than one vehicle was involved.
"We know there's more than one, but we're still trying to determine how many were involved," Capt. Tyler Moyer said as per NBC Philadelphia.
Barkley’s on-field resume has been just as headline-grabbing. The Giants selected him with the No. 2 pick in 2018, and over six seasons in New York he piled up 5,211 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns. His only playoff trip with the Giants came in 2022, when they fell to the Eagles in the divisional round.
In 2023, New York placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Barkley, and the three-time Pro Bowler signed it after landing an adjusted $2 million signing bonus and additional incentives.
He then moved to Philadelphia in 2024 on a three-year, $37.75 million deal and delivered a massive season, rushing for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns. That made him the ninth running back in NFL history to top 2,000 rushing yards.
Barkley later helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, and afterward he agreed to a two-year, $41.2 million extension. Last season, he ran for 1,140 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games as the Eagles finished 11-6 and lost to the 49ers in the wild-card round.

Eagles Face A Brutal Camp Verdict On Six Young Players
A fresh camp evaluation of the Eagles younger players lands with a mixed verdict, and it starts with the kind of roster sorting that tends to define this time of year. Tyler Steen and Andrew Mukuba are among the names the review says still merit development, along with Pierce, whose size and upside make him a player worth keeping in the pipeline as Philadelphia continues to sort through its depth chart and long-term fits.
The harder calls come on the other side of the ledger, where the competition appears to have squeezed out some of the upside bets. Will Shipley, Smael Mondon Jr. and Nolan Smith are all flagged as players the Eagles should consider moving on from, a reminder that draft pedigree and early flashes only go so far when a team is trying to trim the roster to the pieces it trusts most.

Eagles Suddenly Have A Camp Battle Fans Can't Ignore On Defense
The Eagles head into 2026 training camp with a safety picture that looks far different from the one they carried into last season. Reed Blankenship is gone in free agency, Drew Mukuba is back after a rookie year interrupted by a fractured ankle in Dallas, and Cooper DeJean is set to keep bouncing between safety and nickel cornerback as Philadelphia sorts out how best to use him.
What makes the spot worth watching is the depth chart behind those expected starters, where Marcus Epps, Michael Carter II, Andre Sam and Cole Wisniewski are all chasing the same remaining snaps. The Eagles have other bodies on the roster who could factor in, and with safety looking like the softest area on paper, Howie Roseman still has room to keep adjusting the group once camp gets rolling.

Why Eagles Fans Should Trust Howie Roseman On Makai Lemon
Makai Lemons first spring with the Eagles was always going to come with a little extra attention, and the early returns were interrupted by a hamstring injury that kept him out of most OTAs and minicamp. The good news for Philadelphia is that he is reportedly back to being 100 percent and should be ready when training camp opens, which at least gives the rookie a clean runway after a quiet start.
There is also a familiar reason for Eagles fans to stay patient here: Howie Roseman has made a habit of moving up to get players he believes in, and that approach has paid off with first-round names like DeVonta Smith, Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter and Jihaad Campbell. The latest trade-up fits that same pattern, even if the true payoff for Lemon will not be known until the pads come on and the competition gets real. [Read more 🡒]
