After the season, Barner was transferred to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a round 7 pick of the 2015 NFL Draft .

Barner initially played for the Eagles from 2014 to 2016 , spending the entire 2014 season in the team's practice squad . With the Eagles, too, he mainly worked as a return specialist before becoming a free agent after the end of his contract after the 2016 season .
As a free agent, Barner was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers , but was released before the start of the 2017 season and did not play a single regular season game for the Chargers .
He returned to the Eagles on matchday 5 of the 2017 season and got a new contract after running back Darren Sproles tore a cruciate ligament and was out for the rest of the season. He reached the play-offs with the Eagles this season , was NFC champion in the course and reached the Super Bowl ( LII ), which they could win against the New England Patriots .
After the 2017 season, his contract with the Eagles expired and Barner became a free agent again.
