3 offseason moves from NFC East rivals that should terrify Commanders fans

Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley landed on our list of NFC East moves that Washington Commanders fans can laugh at. There is also a flip side to this coin that warrants further investigation.

Barkley took a leap of faith by leaving the New York Giants, who were always reluctant to pay him the going rate. His move to a division rival stung fans who adored the player throughout his time in the Meadowlands. Aside from the money he received, this is also a tremendous landing spot.

This will be the best offensive line Barkley's ever worked behind. He's also got a legitimate dual-threat quarterback alongside him in the backfield and outside pass-catchers that make it difficult to key in on the run game consistently. This wasn't the case in New York.

Teams could easily stack the box with no genuine difference-makers in the passing game. Barkley was overworked as a result, but the Philadelphia Eagles should find ways to keep him fresh and impactful within a more balanced offensive system.

The Commanders should be concerned about what Barkley could bring to Philadelphia's ground game. That said, they did a fantastic job of bolstering their linebacking corps with the arrivals of Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner. These additions - coupled with the signing of Jeremy Chinn as a safety/linebacker hybrid - should ensure their run defense improves dramatically under Dan Quinn next time around.
