The article is biased against the Giants and their fans. It portrays them as incompetent and unable to sign Barkley long-term, while praising the Eagles for landing him. The author uses phrases like 'NFC East rival', 'stalled', 'Giants agreed to a deal with former Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary' (implying that he is not as good as Barkley), and 'Eagles offense'. He also implies that the Eagles have a better line, defense, and overall team than the Giants. The author clearly has a negative attitude towards the Giants and their management.
Barkley never replicated that rookie season.
Injuries and an often bad situation around him in New York held Barkley back.
Now Giants fans get to see if Barkley does better in Philadelphia.
The running back's deal will be for three years and $37.75 million, which will place him just behind Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara and Jonathan Taylor for one of the richest current contracts for a running back.

The article also contains a dichotomous depiction of Saquon Barkley's performance. The author states that he was effective in 2023 but tallying 962 rush yards and six rushing TDs is not as impressive as his brilliant 2018 season where he totaled 1,650 yards from scrimmage.
The article also contains an inflammatory rhetoric by stating that injuries have marred Barkley's career since entering the NFL in 2018. This statement is not objective and could be seen as a personal attack on Barkley.
