But aye George Pickens is the thug they said lol.
I think they plan to cut him after the season to save cap room for Lamar's new deal (Lamar has no guaranteed money after this year). Lamar's contract situation has come up a few times locally but nobody has publicly made a nig deal out of it. I'm assuming there's less or no guaranteed money( for Henry) if he doesn't hit certain milestones. Teams not playing a guy to keep from paying his bonuses or guarantees isn't new. Usually teams start doing it towards the end of the season but they've been doing it all year.
I Couldn't Stand That Motherfucker,' Saquon Disliked Sirianni Before Joining Eagles
Star running back Saquon Barkley didn't have fond feelings toward Nick Sirianni before joining the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I couldn't stand that motherfucker," the three-time Pro Bowler told reporters Wednesday.
Barkley's opinion evolved once he worked directly with Sirianni. He praised the coach's attention to detail, which he only saw upon signing in Philly.
This isn't the first time the 2024 All-Pro revealed the antipathy he once held toward Sirianni.
They were on opposite sides of an NFC East rivalry when Barkley played for the New York Giants. More than that, something about the coach just rankled him.
"Going against him the last couple years, you see it," he once told the Philadelphia Inquirer's EJ Smith. "From the outside looking in, you're like, 'Damn, I can't stand that guy,' but when you get to meet him, it all makes sense. It's authentic. It's who he is."
Either Sirianni made an impressive sales pitch or Barkley put those feelings aside when he bolted the Giants for the Eagles last offseason. It's not as though he got the full Nick Sirianni experience during the free agency negotiating period.
The decision couldn't have worked out any better as he ran for 2,005 yards and won a Super Bowl.
Barkley's performance in 2025 has dipped a bit, while the criticism toward Sirianni is as loud as ever despite last year's success. Still, it sounds like the veteran ball-carrier is firmly behind his coach.
Eagles' Saquon Barkley On Nick Sirianni: 'He's The Best Coach In The NFL'
Philadelphia's superstar running back gave quite the Christmas endorsement for his head coach.

PHILADELPHIA - Mike Vrabel, Ben Johnson, and Liam Coen are the leading contenders to be NFL Coach of the Year this season.
Saquon Barkley believes another name should be added to the list, how own head coach, the Eagles’ Nick Sirianni.
"I don't know why he doesn't get the respect he should get,” Barley said after a Christmas Eve practice in advance of Sunday’s game pitting 10-5 Philadelphia against 11-4 Buffalo. “You really don't hear about him. I'll say, he's the best coach in the NFL. You can't name a better coach over the last five years.
"Who's been a better coach over the last five years than Nick Sirianni?"
Who's Better?

To be fair to the voters, the award isn’t for a five-year span, one in which Sirianni has piloted the Eagles to five consecutive postseason berths, two Super Bowl berths, and a Lombardi Trophy with the opportunity to add to the final two categories.
His record (58-25, .699 winning percentage) is the third best in the Super Bowl era behind only John Madden and Vince Lombardi, and the sixth-best mark of all-time.
Yet, Sirianni not only doesn’t have a Coach of the Year honor on his resume, but he’s never been considered seriously for the award.
Part of that is just about the nature of what the award has become. Generally, it’s given to coaches who exceed expectations, and other than 2021, Sirianni's first season as the head coach in Philadelphia, the perception has always been that the Eagles are in the deep end of the talent pool.
In other words, Sirianni is “supposed to win,” and when he does, he gets less credit than coaches like Vrabel (New England), Johnson (Chicago), and Coen (Jacksonville), who each turned around floundering programs this season.
"I mean, he would say himself, what makes a great coach is having great players," Barkley said. "Obviously, the Philadelphia Eagles have been a great team since I've been in the league, going against him and now playing with him. But there's something to the standard that he sets. There's something to the way he comes to work, just how detailed and how obsessed he is with all the little things."
Ironically, when Barkley was with the New York Giants he "couldn't stand" Sirianni. Now that the superstar running back has gotten closer, he's seen the secret sauce.
"There's a reason why this team has been super successful," said Barkley. "It's been pretty cool to go from going against him and not being a fan of him and seeing what he's all about. I think he does a really good job.
"He's the perfect coach for Philadelphia."
At some point, if the winning continues, Sirianni may break through for an individual award. For now, the Eagles’ coach would be far more content to make another run at a Super Bowl berth.

There are some throws that he made in the preseason and since where guys wont truly open. Those tight window throws he made when he was here in Carolina. He just needs more reps and more reps. He will be light years better next year, I'm sure of it.
