A 1,361-yard star RB, feeling “betrayed” by Seattle, now vows to pour every last ounce of himself into lifting the Eagles back to dominance.QQ
The cold morning phone call from Seattle ended a chapter that had barely begun for Myles Gaskin. Just one game after signing with the Seahawks, the 1,361-yard running back was abruptly released as part of an unexpected roster shuffle. The decision stunned the NFL — and for Gaskin, it felt like being pushed out the door before he even had the chance to prove himself.
Yet instead of breaking down, Gaskin immediately looked toward a new horizon: the Philadelphia Eagles. A team defined by toughness, accountability, and a fanbase that demands — and respects — effort from every player who wears midnight green. For Gaskin, Philadelphia represents the trust and unity he says he never felt in Seattle.
When asked about his next destination, he spoke with raw honesty and emotion. “I gave them all my love, and they betrayed me. I want to give every bit of fire I have left to Philly because I see the trust they have in every member of that team — and if they give me a chance, I’ll lead them back to the top.”
His words immediately caught the attention of Eagles fans. With the team battling depth issues at running back due to injuries and inconsistency, a veteran like Gaskin — someone with experience, versatility, and burning motivation — suddenly became a compelling option.
Under head coach Nick Sirianni, the Eagles have built a culture centered on grit, discipline, and a collective mentality. Those qualities align perfectly with where Gaskin stands in his career: a player searching not just for a roster spot, but for a home that values his fight and heart. His ability to run between the tackles, contribute in the passing game, and take on tough, physical snaps makes him an intriguing schematic fit.
As Philadelphia navigates a critical stage of the season, every roster decision becomes magnified. And often, the players who make the biggest impact are the ones driven by both pain and purpose — the ones with something to prove.
For Myles Gaskin, Seattle’s cold goodbye may be the spark that leads him to a new beginning in the City of Brotherly Love. If the Eagles give him the opportunity he’s pleading for, he believes he can pour every ounce of his heart into helping them climb back to the summit of the NFC.
