Dallas Cowboys Publicly Court Saquon Barkley – A Mind Game Before the Super Bowl?

In a shocking and unexpected move, the Dallas Cowboys have publicly expressed their admiration for Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, just days before the Super Bowl. The Cowboys’ official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a message directed at Barkley, stating:

👉 “You are the best RB this year. We want you.” 👈

This sudden public statement has left Eagles fans furious, NFL analysts stunned, and has sparked debate over whether this is a genuine recruiting attempt or a calculated mind game meant to distract Barkley ahead of the biggest game of his career.

Genuine Interest or Psychological Warfare?

While it’s no secret that Barkley has been dominant in his first season with the Eagles, leading the team’s rushing attack and proving to be one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the NFL, the timing of this message is highly suspicious.

With the Super Bowl just days away, some believe the Cowboys are trying to disrupt Barkley’s focus, planting seeds of doubt as he prepares for the biggest game of his career.

“It’s laughable,” an Eagles insider said. “Barkley is about to play for a championship, and the Cowboys are sitting at home watching. They’re just trying to stir the pot.”

Others speculate that Dallas is legitimately preparing to pursue Barkley in free agency if contract negotiations with the Eagles stall after the season.

How Will Barkley Respond?

So far, Saquon Barkley has not publicly responded to the Cowboys’ post. However, sources close to the running back say he remains fully locked in on winning a Super Bowl with Philadelphia.

“Barkley is a professional. He’s been through too much to let something like this throw him off,” said an Eagles teammate. “If anything, it’s only going to make him more determined to prove why he belongs in Philly.”

The Eagles’ locker room has already rallied around Barkley, viewing this as a desperate move by a division rival trying to stay relevant while their season is already over.

Will This Backfire on Dallas?

Rather than planting doubt, this move might have just fueled Barkley even more. Instead of wondering about his future, he now has the perfect opportunity to send a message on the field—by delivering a legendary performance in the Super Bowl and proving why he belongs with the Eagles, not the Cowboys.
