I’m an Eagles fan, this is simple. Saquon wants to be paid, Philly is trying to win now, the Giants need more work. I have no doubt the Giants would have kept him, But they HAVE to invest elsewhere. The giants will be better for it in the long run. The Eagles wanna win and probably paid more to make sure Dallas wouldn’t get him. Idk, just my guess.

[@brandonmoyd2942]

Finally a Eagles fan with sense🤣💯

[@KevPez-IS]

@@brandonmoyd2942 🍻we exist. Not many granted, but we are real!

[@jackzeldon2883]

born & raised in N. Phila - Eagles fan as long as I can remember - early 70's.... I luv the move for the Eagles..... I know the Giants GM is getting killed in the NFL media but Eagles are trying to win a SB, NYG - a historically great franchise just like the Eagles & Redskins go back 100+ yrs - are trying to build a Foundation so signing Saquon would've been like leasing a Benz while renting a one room apt in the hood....

[@darksimmie2572]

Which is weird to me, the Eagles never over pay rbs. I think that's why Schoen didn't think the offer was real.

[@KevPez-IS]

@@darksimmie2572 I agree, I think they went all in to block Dallas

[@Xix1326]

It's 5:18 AM here in the Northwest, and it's 55 degrees out. 😀

[@markmilitant]

I rather live in 110 Arizona heat than this 95 to 100 humid heat

[@kevinwheesysouthward9295]

Saquan’s injury history has a lot to do with that lousy turf that he had to play on 8 times a year.

[@just908blaze1]

Yeah, that place is a dump.

[@morbidville5316]

What an extra million? No sorry don't think so Saquon 🤣 Pretty much.

[@athens_1psvr31]

Barkley’s agent came back with a number, and then said it would be higher to get him back. Every time they were asking for confirmation or action showing he wanted to stay it coldly was danced around by Barkley and agent. So unless you overpay him he’ll go to your closest located rival.

[@jacobball8422]

Boomers talking about Bell in Pittsburgh. That was a long time ago bud

[@travistarr9433]

Simply never paying a RB after rookie contract. Giants have a 3 win season ahead regardless

[@athens_1psvr31]

What is being missed is that Jones got paid equal to being the 13th ranked QB which was the proper range. Barkley is not ranked in the Top 3 like the Eagles are paying him.

[@SimeonToko]

15 passing TDs makes Jones rank 13th? Where?

[@just908blaze1]

You’re clinically insane…

[@cameronbolden5064]

It’s 5% of the cap. The giants don’t think he’s worth 5%

[@garrysaint-vil725]

So it must be under renovation

[@ryanh3951]

Barkley felt slighted that they weren’t going to match the offer and I don’t blame giants for not paying him. Giants need to invest in other areas and can’t spend that money on a RB. Premium RB is for teams who are trying to seriously compete and win it all not the giants.

[@thomasbrown128]

Giants weren’t winning with Barkley why would we pay him with so many other needs. Re signing him doesn’t make the team any better off than where they were at

[@nickpatches7740]

Positional value Jerry. Come on, you know this.

[@youdontknow7190]

4:20 yeah like I give a fuck about where you guys want to play golf. he has actually talk about the sun on the video. Are you guys just gonna keep yapping about golf?

[@antoniorod6689]

Facts

[@richrucci6908]

Good take on Saquon's lack of pass protection ability... he gave up huge sacks in his tenor as a Giant. The whiff block on Jamal Adams leading to a strip-sack / TD return on Daniel Jones, was just brutal.

[@garrysaint-vil725]

Move back to Astoria 😝

[@robbiegarnz7732]

It’s almost as though ye running backs need their separate union. Either that or offer salary cap exemptions to GMs allowing them to pay the rbs more.

[@SimeonToko]

Saquon wasn't going to win anything with the Giants so why stay here and lose with Daniel Jones?

[@markmilitant]

Yet they paid burns a ton of money and let go of draft picks after everything Barkley did I hope he goes off against the giants they didn’t want him

[@ToneFury]

They didn't wanna pay 26 million guaranteed..that's different than not wanting him

[@markmilitant]

@@ToneFury Burns got 87.5mil guaranteed with 25mil signing bonus with 5mil per year prorates total contract over 141mil lost 3 draft picks and u couldn’t bring up a few million for Barkley the face of the giants whose been giving it his all even through the down years smfh

[@ToneFury]

@@markmilitant we also signed 2 lineman..I'd much rather fill 3 needs than pay barkley 12 million any day..we averaged like 4 wins with him here..we're not gonna be much worse without him

[@brandonmoyd2942]

Did u just compare an EDGE RUSHER to a RB who averaged 3.9 YPC ?🤣🤣🤣💀💀

[@markmilitant]

@@brandonmoyd2942 I just compared a top 5 RB to a not even top 20 edge rusher in the nfl 2024 rankings

[@alexanderednie1205]

Giants are a clown show

[@josephbellotti1007]

the show is better without gio
