Giants were not winning many games with him anyway. He was also injured a lot. I'm ok with this. It's just the media doing what they do. Running backs are very replaceable. Especially, with a decent O line.

What are you talking about? The GM didn’t want to pay more than he was offering. Which was 12.5 APY and 25 Milli guaranteed. QThe owner came in and applied very subtle pressure to keep him but he stood his ground and didn’t do what he wanted. Haters are cranky because of the DJ contact….still. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@davidwillis8623]

This will inevitably backfire because Daniel Jones isn’t very good and needs a high end back with him to keep defenses honest, without a legit back, he’s going to see a lot of third and longs… and he’s not good on third and long

[@JohnPArgueta]

@@davidwillis8623 that’s the rub right? We don’t know that to be true because SB has always been there. Except for when he was injured.

With Singletary and Co. chipping on whoever Neal is letting by it could work out. We can only speculate and hope. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When the GM lies on his application

[@esils]

Saquon wasn’t gonna carry the Giants and Giants needed to get away from overpaying and rebuild in the trenches. Simple. 💡

[@tron9137]

Giants have no shot with a clueless front office....

[@la7era1u54]

They drafted the best WR in the draft this year. I hope DJ can get him the ball

[@jasonpalas4899]

Worst season of Hard knocks to boot

[@laserchiefwankoo204]

Lombardi is the biggest clown😂

[@dougboylan1265]

we’re rebuilding bro. we can’t pay a running back 14 mill a year in our position and in this state of the league. you can criticize schoen for a couple things but not for this. and to sit there and praise mara is completely backwards. he’s a guy who doesn’t know how to create a football team trying to bully his employees into making a decision that would ultimately hurt the franchise bc he wants to sell more jerseys. props to schoen for sticking to his guns

[@TrevWark]

If your in a rebuild, why sign danny dimes. That makes a slower rebuild. Geezus 😂

[@CONCERNEDcitizenforever]

You know its scripted right?

[@PlayoffP69]

Right but you guys wanna give a below average qb 40 million a year💀

[@korryjones7371]

Your take is the worst take period…… They should have stuck with the only offensive weapon they had.. Also I love that when a player wants what they deserve it’s bullying, but when a team cuts a player it’s business….. hahaha Your a giants cuck bud. Enjoy winning 5 games next year.

[@collindabossphx]

It’s OKAY. Nerd.

[@travisstase1577]

Uh...looked like they had a plan, and a backup plan for the plan.

[@trev9168]

Also they literally said “it’s been reported that Philly is out of the race” so yes they would assume they either lost interest or didn’t wanna pay him either

[@slothin21]

This show can unfairly either make a teams front office look great or terrible. I will say it's my favorite hard knocks so far though. The offseason is such a chess game

[@howboutdaaattt3991]

They offered him the same contract the year before and he turned it down

[@seaberry11]

The Giants GM was playing that situation from the perspective of his personal grudge. Saquan didn’t take the offers he gave him the year before, so he didn’t even want to bargain anymore.

[@1TotalJabroni]

On the contrary, I've gone from dissing the Giants at every turn to now having some respect for them. 100%, unequivocally, this team's BIGGEST need was o-line, so hearing the GM and coaches talk about that being their top priority gave me more confidence in the Giants turnaround. Makes no sense to spend big bucks on Saquon when you have so many needs all over the place. Now, if they go 3-14, well, maybe they should've done it differently 😅

[@peteg2715]

They spent the money they saved from letting Saquon & McKinney walk on Oline & pass rush. That's a smart investment. Only the jabroni casuals don't understand positional value.
