The Philadelphia Eagles made a significant move by signing Saquon Barkley.
Last year’s dismal season finale made it appear that they needed to avoid a catastrophe, which they accomplished by bringing in the most renowned name in the running back market.
However, as we have seen time and again, amassing the most talent does not always result in victory.
strong paydays sometimes come with strong egos, which can lead to locker room conflicts.
That’s why NFL analyst Craig Carton says the Eagles should take a page from the 49ers’ book.
On The Carton Show, he discussed how the Niners have several true offensive studs, yet they never gripe about their touches — or lack thereof.

Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Christian McCaffrey don’t appear to worry when a player becomes more involved in the offense, understanding that everyone will receive touches.
He believes that if the Eagles can recreate that with DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, and Saquon Barkley, they will have a real shot.
The Eagles had plenty of skill on their roster last season as well, but it appeared like their locker room was not in good shape.
Their late-season collapse was difficult to understand, and some believe Nick Sirianni may be in hot water this season as a result.
That is why he will have to be more than just a head coach; he must manage his staff and players and ensure that everyone is on the same page.
