Eagles RB Saquon Barkley says eventual retirement would likely 'be out of nowhere'

Saquon Barkley's standout performance this season earned him the cover of *Madden NFL 26*, yet his comments on Chris Long's Green Light Podcast have left Eagles fans uneasy. Barkley suggested he might retire unexpectedly, similar to Barry Sanders, who left the sport during his peak. Despite a recent two-year, $41.2 million contract extension following his successful season with the Eagles, Barkley hinted his time in the NFL might be shorter than expected. With 7,216 career rushing yards, he still trails Sanders significantly but has sparked uncertainty about his long-term plans, urging fans to appreciate his current presence in the game.
