The New York Giants watched Saquon Barkley get poached by the Eagles last offseason. This year, Philly came back for more. After landing their star prize in 2024, the Eagles spent 2025 scooping up every former Giant who didn’t get re-signed. That included linebacker Azeez Ojulari and cornerback Adoree’ Jackson — two players New York had no real interest in bringing back.
Big Blue Nation wasn't bitter about the exodus. They were more confused about Philly’s desperation. Sure, Barkley was a star. But Ojulari hadn’t stayed healthy in years, and Jackson was fine. Still, the Eagles gave both players a fresh start and hoped a change of scenery would help salvage their careers.
