Dillon was cleared to play after missing all of last season with a neck injury, and from afar, he has seen the style of football that Barkley and the Eagles play being a fit for him — and those quads.

AJ Dillon has joined the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2025 NFL season, and he has made something clear to Saquon Barkley regarding the competition for the RB1 role. AJ Dillon has officially joined the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2025 NFL season,

Saquon Barkley won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, set the NFL record for the most single-season rushing yards including the playoffs and became the highest-paid running back in league history.

If he can return to his previous level, Dillon should offer the Eagles a bruising runner to spell Barkley with a track record of being productive in short-yardage situations. He has averaged 2.96 yards after contact during his career, according to Pro Football Focus. By comparison, Barkley has averaged 3.07 during his career and 3.22 last season.

Saquon Barkley had no idea what to do. His then-team, the New York Giants, slapped the franchise tag on him. The Eagles won’t treat their All-Pro running back in such a manner, not after they agreed to give him a two-year contract extension a year after signing him to a three-year deal in free agency.

The Philadelphia Eagles are making key moves to strengthen their offense. In their latest addition, the NFC East franchise has acquired a position specialist to provide crucial support for Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.

Saquad and Quadzilla unite. The Green Bay Packers could regret letting A.J. Dillon leave for the Philadelphia Eagles.
