The Eagles will not trade running back Saquon Barkley before the NFL trade deadline, according to reports.

The Philadelphia Eagles will not trade running back Saquon Barkley before the NFL trade deadline, according to multiple reports from ESPN and NFL Network. Barkley's name has circulated in trade rumours as the Eagles' season has become increasingly unsalvageable.

The running back turns 30 in February and carries an expensive contract, making him a potential candidate for trade. Some analysts argued that a contending team might offer value to acquire him. However, the Eagles' front office believes Barkley still has multiple productive years ahead and values his leadership in the locker room.

Barkley has directly addressed the trade speculation, stating that he plans to remain with Philadelphia and does not want to abandon the team during the losing streak. Reports indicate the Eagles have not received offers they consider worthwhile for the player. If another team were to offer a first-round pick, the Eagles would likely reconsider, but the low probability of such an offer suggests Barkley will stay in Philadelphia.
