Saquon Barkley Calls Out Giants Legend Tiki Barber For Saying He Is “Dead To Him” For Signing With Eagles

After leaving the New York Giants to sign with their nemesis Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, Saquon Barkley drew criticism for Giants legend and current WFAN Radio Host Tiki Barber.

“You’re dead to us, Saquon. Good luck, you’re dead to me,” Barber said during his show on WFAN Sports Radio.

Saquon Barkley fired back at Tiki for his "dead to us" comments, and now, Tiki has responded:@EvanandTikiWFAN pic.twitter.com/8FbKM8bopb

Barkley didn’t take kindly to Barber’s comments and responded on social media:

@TikiBarber you been a hater since I got to New York … and all the “Dead to me” talk don’t smile in my face when you see me

@TikiBarber lol yup you’re the prime example of loyalty to a team.. I got the deal I wanted, secured more gm which wasn’t given to me before… so if fans are gonna hate me for that so be it! But I never turned my back on my teammates and always had theirs https://t.co/6aKgJquD0F

Barkley had previously expressed his desire to finish his career with the Giants but the feeling wasn’t mutual as the Giants didn’t even bother making an offer to the star running back.

Barkley lands in a much better situation in Philadelphia with an established star quarterback, a slew of skill players like A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith and Dallas Goedert and gets to run behind one of the best offensive lines in football.
