[@dgilbertbtv]

I swear it’s like no one watched the same thing. They prioritized other needs over Barkley where the data showed a certain value. Barkley had the transition tag last year and was able to negotiate the market and didn’t sign a similar deal. He was given the chance to negotiate the market without a tag at all this year and clearly it was just better for each side to go their separate way. It’s a win win for both sides but sucks for the fandom. Joe was straight and wasn’t okay with another transition and definitely not the exclusive tag.

I like Devin I think that was a brilliant signing especially under the circumstances, need a 3DB finally, other then Saquan I mean bc no one else over the years leveled up, no one. At least in the good ole days they had Bradshaw/Jacobs, either could start, Jennings was very good, Peyton Hillis was good sparingly, Andre Brown, we simply haven’t had it in almost a decade

[@trsgr]

But they paid 40 million for Daniel Jones instead of drafting Tua or Herbert the next year in the draft. Botch job on whom they break the bank with.

[@brianblount3448]

They paid Danny picks 40 mil stop shcon is and idiot dj isn’t a qb so u give a bum millions who don’t deserve it instead of giving the face of the franchise his 12 mil smh

[@elwpta7830]

One of the biggest flaws in Schoens thinking is “we need to give DJ weapons.” Look at what’s happened to Davante Adams and when mediocre quarterbacks had him in their arsenal - still results in mediocre offense

[@rubencasanova6144]

Saquan is complete the issue is they ask him to do everything else so what he has left when it comes to blocking is scars

[@johnlarson111]

nope we needed a upgrade on the oline.

[@matthewjunghans4473]

Saquon was the face and knew it. Every phone call made it seem like he could not care less to be a Giant which is fair. They’ve never been good since Saquon was there. Shouldn’t have paid DJ but also Saquon wanted money that the giants didn’t want to pay and that’s fine

[@SuperStatch]

McKinney, I dont mind losing same with Saquon. Saquon had two good seasons that is all and cant block for shite

[@matthewjunghans4473]

Thank you!!! Been saying this since he got tagged. Saquon was just the highlight on a trash team and I’m a Giants fan 😂 same with Odell during the mid 2010s

[@T9XVegeta]

Bro also has had 32nd ranked oline since entering the league and those years your mentioning he had another weapon he has a team that has an oline and great not good players he's going to kill it and us

[@Chalk89]

Joe Schoen has a job that requires five years of consistency (so long that he’s doing it competently). I looked back at the four draft classes of Dave Gettleman - six of 35 players remain on the roster. The swings-and-misses from not just DG but also Jerry Reese was catastrophic and still Plaguing the team.

[@rawbrob1079]

What good is a 12.5 million dollar RB if you don't have an offensive line to block for him? With the money they would have paid Barkley they signed two proven offensive lineman to upgrade the offense and traded to get a top pass rusher. This is how you build rosters. You don't throw a bunch of money to an often injured RB that is aging. He's not the last link to a Superbowl run. This team had huge holes to fill and running back is a luxury in a passing league. They bolstered their line and drafted a future pro bowl receiver in Nabers. That's how you build a team in today's NFL.

[@junehanzawa5165]

What was it that the Panther's GM said a few year ago? "We don't need McCaffrey." And he a got a ton of picks for him, while the Giants got nothing for Barkley. And where is that GM now? He's history. And so will this Giants GM be next year.

Let's keep it 💯, Joe Schoen made a mistake by putting the tag on saquon. Daniel Jones should've been the one to get the franchise tag, and saquon should've gotten the contract 2 years ago. Daniel Jones struggles reading defenses. I feel Joe Schoen has made some good moves, some others are head scratchers. Joe Schoen better hope saquon doesn't win multiple chips.

[@user-je8fz3oh3k]

I'm not here defending some of DJs bad decisions but I'm not sure any QB could read the defense when you are getting pressured in about 1 second.

[@T9XVegeta]

Because his o line has ranked 32nd every single year hence his and saquans injuries look at 2022 he destroyed he was top 3 qbs in the NFL and won a playoff game... so your wrong and that oline ranked 29th not 32nd and his wrs since entering the league other than 2022 32nd 2022 wrs 30th and had the most drops in the league so your blaming him for that as well?

[@martyr857]

Eagles overpaid for him because they are trying to recover from one of the biggest collapses in NFL history. If they would have gotten deep into the playoffs do you really think they would have overpaid for him?

[@clippedangel]

Of course , swift wasn’t going to resign. Barkley was the main target & why do fans care if he’s overpaid or underpaid like it’s their money 😂 . Eagles still had money to sign other players & still have extra money to sign Justin Simmons 🤌. They will make a trade before the season starts or during the season. Giants are in rebuild mode & made a big mistake signing Jones 😂

[@MikeJones-zd6xi]

Saquon is a much improved blocker I don’t think he’s the receiver CMC Is but still above average when he’s locked in. He has an injury history and a lot of mileage and is still explosive but does look like he lost a step

[@Chalk89]

What do running backs have to be pissed off about? The only argument I routinely read/hear - ‘these guys have such shortened careers compared to their colleagues!’ Yes, hence not investing too much into them. Which RB is playing into his 30s? Todd Gurley has been out of the league for two years and just turned 29. Ezekiel Elliott is a shell of himself, albeit serviceable, and he’s 29. Derrick Henry just turned 30 and the Titans let him walk. It’s funny how many talking heads criticized Gettleman for the pick of Barkley and his outdated football ideas and now that the Giants are getting with the times, they still receive backlash.

[@andrewr7395]

The answer to this one is easy. No. Anyone who references the Jones contract at this point needs to be ignored because that’s been explained a Bajillion times. Anyone who thinks the Giants should’ve broke the bank for Saquon, deserves to have Dave Gettleman as their GM for life.

[@donmoyeau7811]

I totally agree & ever since his rookie season , more defenses knew how to defend him better & he also kept getting injured , compared to Brandon Jacobs , & Ahmad Bradshaw !!! 7:43

I woulda rather bring back X because the defense was starting to form around him

[@anthonychalk85]

Too funny! Giants orgnization cant get out there own way...

[@KBIbanez1989]

As electric as Saquon is, he could never master the art of pass pro. I remember Ahmad Bradshaw came in as 7th rounder, wasn’t capable of pass pro early on but 3-4 years in he was one of the better RBs at pass protection. Saquon never got it down. On top the injuries and he’s been getting caught from behind the last few years.

[@donmoyeau7811]

And Barkley was not the greatest in bringing the ball in while he was running full speed so he got tackled soon after he caught the ball & that definitely happened a lot more in the last 2 - 3 yr. , besides his average pass blacking skills !!!

[@w00deey12]

Teams don’t let young healthy good offensive linemen hit free agency. So, saying that you had to spend money on two guards is complete nonsense. Pick up offensive lineman late in the draft and develop them.

[@user-fb9wn8er3e]

And when was the last time that worked out? The oline was the priority this year bc it has been awful for over a decade. IMO veterans were needed. Neal and JMS still “new” and can benefit from the veterans”experience. Thomas is a dog! This should be a much improved oline.

40 million payment for Daniel Jones instead of drafting Tua or Herbert the next year in the draft. Botch job on who they drafted that high in the draft for a QB and a fumble in breaking the bank with Daniel Jones. When the foundation is cracked, they now can't give Saquon a small, reasonable raise. Hence they lose their best player and keep an overpaid unproven QB. Now they are stuck trying to build around Daniel Jones. Botch job. Can they be a better team the last year. Sure but this team now has a ceiling and they are not going to be a superbowl team with Daniel Jones. Their foundation is weak.

Ask Recco what position other than RB should Barkley have played to reach the NFL? He could have made 4-10 times more as a QB but can he play that position? He wouldn't have made it as a Receiver. Can't tackle so he can't play defense. Maybe a Safety but he's a little too bulked up for that.
