Would you even tag Barkley in 2024 at this point?

[DaveBrown74]

I mean the guy is constantly hurt and he's getting old (by RB standards). Do you believe the Giants should spend a fully guaranteed $12mm on him next year? If the answer is no, can it be assumed that you are in favor of trading him ASAP, since the season (in practical terms at least) is pretty much over?

Does anyone still want to see him get a contract or wish the Giants had acquiesced to his demands in the last season and had given him a multi-year contract?

[T200]

No

I predict this is his last year with us.

[Gmo11]

They should absolutely try and trade him this season.  If they can't get a trade done for whatever reason I might tag him with the intent to seek a trade in the offseason so he can't just leave for nothing.  My guess is that was why both sides agreed to not include a "no franchise tag" clause in his deal over the summer.  Letting him walk for nothing would be a worst case scenario type of situation.

[True Blue]

Absolutely not. I am of the belief they should have traded him at lasts year's deadline.

They will get less now, but admit your mistake, and salvage it the best you can by trading him this year.

I would not tag or give a new contract, if no one would trade anything he can walk next offseason.

Barkley must be traded

Completely agree

[DaveBrown74]

I agree with all of you. Unless there are literally zero takers, I will consider it a failure by our front office if they don't trade him before the deadline. Even if it's just a fifth rounder, let's get something instead of nothing. Signing or even tagging him after this season would be preposterous.

Def not worth the tag.  However, it will be interesting to see how much the offense and Daniel Jones improve (or IF they improve) once a healthy Barkley gets inserted back into the offense.  If he comes back and makes the offense gel more like the 2nd half against Arizona, I'd say a reasonable deal might make sense. 

But the tag will be, what, 13-14 million?  Definitely not at that price.

If memory serves it will be about $12mm but I am not 100% positive.

And if a trade, what is his value at this point? a 3rd?

[Jclayton92]

I think it depends on if the plan to sign a bunch of players in Free Agency. If they do they need to trade him, if they don't they can just get a comp pick for him.

[HondurasGiants]

IF we trade him...it should be during the offseason IMO.

Still too early to judge the 2023 season...the offense, etc.

[Jaime]

I would get Barkley healthy
Showcase him in a couple games (and pray he isn't injured) then quickly trade him to the highest bidder.

[Philosophers]

As oppose what?  Let him leave and get nothing back?  That would be a waste of an asset.

No chance they get a third for him.
