Who are you marrying and where do you want to work? Two questions we all ask ourselves... Sometimes, we do so before we are old enough to do either. Then life changes things when we grow up. Had I gone with my first graduation plan that I hammered out at ten, I would have become QB1 of the Philadelphia Eagles and a comic book author while tying the knot with Tisha Campbell.
Looking back, I still don't see anything wrong with that plan. It seems pretty solid. God had other plans though, and I'm happy he did. I like how my life turned out.
I'm older than Saquon Barkley and Josh Sweat though. They're still figuring things out, but both seemingly have good heads on their shoulders. From the outside looking in, both are seemingly on the verge of doing some great things, especially after announcing two life-changing decisions.
Eagles news: Saquon Barkley gets engaged.
By the looks of things, Saquon Barkley and Josh Sweat carved out nice niches in life. They've made quite a bit of pocket change and have enjoyed nice careers.
Saquon signed a massive deal with the Eagles this past offseason. He's also determined he's ready to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend.
He and Anna Congdon are both Penn State graduates and have been together for eight years, They also have children together.

Congratulations to both. May they enjoy a long and happy life with one another. Something tells us they won't be stressed out financially.
More Eagles news: Josh Sweat hires a new agent.
Speaking of financials, Josh Sweat is in the same position that Saquon was in last offseason. Like his teammate, he's expected to cash in once free agency begins.
He has definitely set himself up for success, hiring a fantastic team of agents. He'll now be backed by Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha.

We all make these decisions at some point. Who are you going to marry? Where are you going to live? Here's a tip of the cap for Barkley and Sweaty. Both seem to be making wise and informed decisions about their future.
