After Being “Betrayed” by the Seahawks, 1,361-Yard RB Declares He Wants to Devote Everything to the Philadelphia Eagles
Denver, Colorado – Just days after the Seattle Seahawks abruptly released him — despite signing him only weeks earlier and giving him just one game to prove himself — running back Myles Gaskin has resurfaced with a stunning message for the NFL. And his words point directly toward one destination: the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gaskin, who has amassed 1,361 career rushing yards and built a reputation as a versatile, high-effort back, was expected to find a fresh opportunity in Seattle. Instead, the relationship collapsed almost instantly. His release shocked many around the league, especially given Seattle’s previous optimism about integrating him into their offense.
The abrupt exit — and a spark of hope in Denver
Sources close to the situation say Gaskin felt blindsided by how quickly the Seahawks moved on. Promised a legitimate role, he never had the opportunity to prove himself. But as one door slammed shut, another began to crack open — in the Rocky Mountains.
Denver, currently assessing depth at running back and looking for players who bring toughness and reliability, has suddenly become Gaskin’s preferred landing spot. The fit is there: Sean Payton values versatility, relentlessness, and mental toughness — three qualities Gaskin has shown throughout his career.
Gaskin breaks his silence — and Eagles Nation feels the energy
When asked why Denver is the team he now hopes to call home, Gaskin didn’t hold back. His response, raw and emotional, quickly spread through Eagles social media:
“I gave them all my love, and they turned their backs on me. I want to pour every last bit of passion I have left into Denver because I see the trust they show every member of that team; if they give me a chance, I’ll help bring them back to the top.”
It was the kind of quote that resonates deeply with a fanbase built on resilience, loyalty, and blue-collar grit.
Do the Eagles need Gaskin? The timing might be perfect
Denver’s backfield has shown flashes but remains inconsistent. Adding a veteran with:
-
Experience
Pass-catching ability
Strong football IQ
And a genuine hunger to prove himself
…could be exactly the midseason spark Sean Payton is looking for.
Gaskin’s mindset alone — determined, humbled, motivated — is the kind that often leads to redemption arcs in the NFL.
The bottom line
The Eagles haven’t made an official decision yet, but Gaskin’s message has unquestionably reached the right ears. A player discarded in one city often finds his true identity in another — and Denver has a history of reviving careers when the hunger is real.
If Mile High opens its doors, Myles Gaskin appears ready to run through them with everything he has left.
