As great as Saquon Barkley is, and yes, even as a Dallas Cowboys fan, I will tell you the facts: He is one of the best running backs in football. I would put him second only behind Derrick Henry.
Christian McCaffrey has played one full season in the last seven years. He is no longer ahead of either one of them just based on that.
Yet, when it comes to what he recently said, I am here to tell you that outside of your own fan base, nobody cares.
Barkley reportedly had interest from several teams, but during DeVonta Smith’s Celebrity Softball game over the weekend, the running back told a streamer that neither the Commanders nor the Cowboys attempted to sign him.
Barkley referenced the ‘Belt to A**’ moniker when explaining why he plays so hard against both teams.
Let me start by saying, he was 0-and-10 against the Cowboys before he signed with the Eagles, so that’s that.
I mean, I think he plays hard against both teams because he wants to win the football game. The Cowboys and Commanders are division rivals. He played hard against them all as a member of the Giants!
Yes, I would love to have Barkley as the running back of the Dallas Cowboys, but honestly, outside of getting the fans over in Philly hyped, nobody cares that this was said.
It is a hot topic right now, and this post is for all you readers who just want to keep up with what is going on.
Saquon Barkley says that the #Commanders did not reach out to him when he was a free agent
“Nah, never heard a word from Commanders or Dallas. That’s why it’s BTA when I see them”

The Dallas Cowboys’ leading rusher was Rico Dowdle last season. He finished with 1,079 rushing yards. He also scored two rushing touchdowns and added 39 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns.
This season, Dallas is going to roll with Javante Williams and Miles Sanders as the two-headed monsters in Dallas, and even combined probably won’t match what Barkley does.
Take a look at the video above. It is all fun and games, and it is the offseason. That is why Barkley said it. Did anyone expect Jerry Jones to reach out to him anyway?
We all begged for him to pick up the phone and call the man that has a house in Dallas, Derrick Henry, and he wouldn’t even do that.
Take it how you wish, but Barkley and the Eagles are who the Dallas Cowboys are chasing to here is to hoping that Micah Parsons, Matt Eberflus and the rest of the Dallas defense heard what he said, and MAYBE they will care.
a Dallas Cowboys fan, since the 70’s all the sports media groups must realize Saquon Barkley played on a New York Giants team that had and still has a terrible offensive line and that’s also why the Cowboys defense was able to shut down Saquon Barkley down then but now Saquon Barkley is on a better team that has a better offensive line and much more talent on offense and I doubt very seriously the Cowboys defense can stop Saquon Barkley now and the New York media and New York fans regret letting Saquon Barkley walk every time they face Saquon Barkley now that he has a ring to make it worse
Like usual, a stupid comment!! Do you even watch any of the games!? We’ve never had a problem stopping Barkley, even while he’s been with the eagles!! I think he mite have had one good game while being with the eagles and that was when most of our defense was injured and we were playing with practice squad players for half the season!! Like I tell you every time, go do your research!! Learn facts before you make these ridiculous comments!! As a matter of fact, you don’t have to, I’ll tell you how good Barkley has been against the Cowboys!! In his whole career he’s only had three 100 yard games against us and 2 of them were while he was with the giants and the other one was with eagles in December after we lost half of our starters and backups on defense and we were playing with practice squad players and other players nobody else wanted!! And his total touchdowns is only 3 too!! And he didn’t scored any of those touchdowns while with the eagles!! And now we have a better defensive coordinator who is better at getting his players to stop the run than any coordinator we’ve had in Barkleys career, we have a better defense than we had in the last few years or more, but you don’t think we can stop Barkley for some reason!! But if we can stop him with a healthy defense in the past, there’s no reason our defense can’t stop him again this year!! Unless injuries happen again!! The only way Barkley can have a good game against us is when we have a defense full of injuries!!
Would love to join. Been a Cowboy fan back when Kansas City shared time in Dallas as the Dallas Texans
I too was a Dallas Texan fan. Matter of fact, the Texan front office was offering steep discounts on all home games in the Cotton Bowl for the price of $1 and a complimentary tee shirt with the Texan logo. The Texans back then were far better than those Dallas Cowboys whose roster was made up of dispersal players/ cast offs from other NFL teams. I grieved when the AFL champs of 1962 abandoned Dallas for Kansas City.
Yes, Cowboys were bad, but Tom Landry made Texas think again.
Nobody cares what Barkley said!! He is a good RB when he’s healthy, but it’s rare he’s healthy!! That’s why the giants let him walk!! I think he’s only had a couple seasons where he’s actually played a full season!! And he can talk all he wants, but the facts are the only way he’s gonna have a good game against us is if he stays healthy and if our defense is injured!! His stats against us prove that!! In his whole career, he’s only had three 100 yard games, and 3 total touchdowns against us!! Which is terrible when you throw in the fact that he’s played against us at least 12 times!! So let him talk all he wants, he’s not scaring anybody!!
