Saquon Barkley is officially an Eagle in the minds of fans and media after his Monday afternoon exchange with Giants legend Tiki Barber.
Barkley was celebrating a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles when Barber fired this shot at the former Giants superstar.

“He’s dead to us now. You’re dead to us, Saquon,” Barber said Monday. “Good luck, you’re dead to me.”
Barkley responded as only an Eagle could, calling the former Giants running back a “hater.”
@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

The Eagles and Giants are already must-see TV every season, but the two games this year will certainly be prime-time affairs, especially after New York acquired Brian Burns via trade.
Here’s social media reaction to the back and forth.

What other jersey will #NYGiants fans wear other than 26. The rest of the player jerseys are irrelevant.

Its A Philly Thing
Nobody cares tiki. The Giants have been losers for a long time now. You think Barkley actually cares about the Giants legacy that was nothing but Ls? 💀

Giants fans are crying over Saquon Barkley signing with the Eagles. Loser energy from a fan base that’s seen two winning seasons over the last 11 years.
“Saquon is traitor! He switched up on us!”
Tiki Barber: “Saquon is dead to me!”
Shouldn’t Giants fans be directing that… pic.twitter.com/Xre3ulXOOX

The MVP even got in on the jokes after seeing one of his teammates exit in free agency.
