Ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles' season finale against the New York Giants, Saquon Barkley might be trolling his old team with his new advertisement.
Barkley, who played six seasons with the G-Men before joining the Eagles this past offseason, starred in an ad for Unisom, a sleep aid.
But the ad posted a cryptic message that may or may not be directed at Giants owner John Mara, who infamously said he would "have a hard time sleeping if Saquon goes to Philadelphia."

"I heard some of you were having trouble sleeping, so I wrote you a lullaby," Barkley said in the ad. "Rockabye baby, awake in your bed, as the thought of 2,000 swirls in your head. It sure is tough to lose sleep over football – not for me, though. Good night to you all."
Well, that's exactly what happened, and Barkley is putting up historic numbers with the Birds.
The Giants were featured in HBO's "Hard Knocks" offseason edition, and Mara made the now-notorious statement in a discussion with general manager Joe Schoen, who never seemed all too interested in retaining Barkley, who was drafted second overall by his predecessor Dave Gettleman in 2018.
