The Eagles running back faced a firestorm on social media. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts skipped the White House meeting with Trump. The two star players are free to do what they want.

The Super Bowl champion Eagles are dealing with their first adverse off-season situation after All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley played golf with President Donald Trump on Sunday in New Jersey before the team's official visit to the White House on Monday.

On Monday, President Donald Trump recognized Barkley and the rest of the team at the White House. Trump brought up Barkley's name specifically during the ceremony, recounting how he told Barkley's former team (the New York Giants) to retain him by any means necessary.
