Chris Jones Drops Hilarious Reaction After Eagles Sign Saquon Barkley

The Kansas City Chiefs are fresh off two consecutive Super Bowl victories, but this season feels a bit different. As they gear up for their upcoming battle against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones gave a memorable and hilarious take on one of the Eagles’ key offseason moves: signing running back Saquon Barkley.
In a candid conversation with SPORTSRADIO 94WIP, Jones expressed his surprise and amusement at the Eagles’ acquisition of Barkley. He admitted:
“Oh st…we are in trouble. The league is in trouble,”** Jones said, laughing. “Like LeBron say I see it happening. I was sitting there on my couch. I was like they’re about to get Saquon. I could see it. I don’t know why I said it, I just felt like that, and that’s what happened—they got Saquon.”
This reaction from Jones was not only relatable but also echoed the sentiments of many NFL fans who were equally taken aback by the Eagles’ big move. The addition of Barkley to an already potent offense in Philadelphia is seen as a game-changing moment, and it’s clear that Jones felt the weight of the signing.
Chris Jones and the Chiefs Defense: A Tough Challenge for the Eagles
As the Chiefs prepare to face the Eagles, Jones knows that containing their offense will be a significant challenge. Last year, the Chiefs had their hands full with the San Francisco 49ers and their dynamic offensive weapon, Christian McCaffrey, who racked up 160 all-purpose yards. Despite McCaffrey’s efforts, Kansas City held on to secure a 25-22 overtime win. However, the Eagles’ offense is another beast entirely, and Jones knows it.
With Barkley now joining the Eagles’ roster, their offense is more well-rounded than ever. Jones, who has spent his career wrecking opposing offenses, is preparing for what promises to be an intense showdown. Still, his respect for Barkley is clear.
“I think it’s good for the game though, man,” Jones continued. “It’s good to see Saquon back being Saquon. I think we kind of got lost in the trance of playing for New York, and we forgot how special that kid is. And to see him back playing to his full potential, playing meaningful football in January and February. I’m happy for him.”
Barkley, who had been stuck in a challenging situation with the New York Giants, now finds himself in a prime position to showcase his talents with the Eagles. For Jones, it’s a mixed feeling of admiration and concern as the Chiefs defense prepares for one of the league’s most electrifying running backs.

For Barkley, the 2024-25 campaign has been about redemption. After a few tough seasons, he has finally regained his form and is ready to make an impact during the postseason. The Eagles are counting on him to be a key piece in their championship push, and Jones knows that stopping Barkley will be crucial to securing another title for the Chiefs.
Looking Ahead: Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Showdown
The upcoming Super Bowl promises to be a thrilling contest between two of the NFL’s most dynamic teams. On one side, you have the Chiefs, led by the league’s best quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and their relentless defense anchored by Chris Jones.

For Jones, the challenge of containing Barkley is personal. He understands the threat Barkley poses, but he also knows that the Chiefs’ defense is built for these kinds of high-pressure moments. The addition of Barkley to the Eagles’ roster makes them a more dangerous team, but it also raises the stakes for what could be an unforgettable Super Bowl clash.
