First Look: Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley getting in extra work ahead of training camp

The Eagles wrapped up mandatory minicamp last week, but that doesn’t mean players are taking any days off.

Starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and newly signed RB Saquon Barkley are continuing to train during the offseason. Barkley posted a recent workout on his Instagram story.

Training camp gets underway in five weeks, but the Eagles need all the practice they can get with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore installing a new offense. When discussing the details of Moore’s system, Hurts stated it’s ‘95% new’ compared to the previous scheme.

“This whole offseason has been about learning… You get to a point where you feel comfortable with this, but that time comes when you can rep it, rep it, rep it later on, but right now it’s been a lot of new inventory — the majority of it, probably 95 percent of it being new, it’s just been that process.

And it’s been a fun process because you get to see what works for other people. The number of coaches I’ve had since I’ve been here, I’ve taken in a lot of new knowledge and new understanding.”

The Eagles shockingly signed Barkley to a lucrative three-year, $37.75M contract when free agency opened, adding another dynamic playmaker to an offense featuring Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert.

Former Giants RB Saquon Barkley reached agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75M and includes $26M fully guaranteed at signing, per sources.
