If Sequon Barkley was not resigned and then he signed on with the Eagles or Cowboys ? How about with the Commanders with their new QB , Caleb Williams or Drake Maye
Honestly.....I wouldn't care in the least.
I think the Eagles are a viable location and it would sting a bit because he would go full scorched earth every time they played the Giants but the Giants can't give him the type of contract he's going to get in free agency when they are not a Saquon Barkley away from a title. They can get similar production for much less money and they can use that money to fix other holes.
Please stop with Barkley to the Eagles nonsense.
I mean if they are such a great run team from the front office perspective that most people want to claim then they won't over spend for a RB with injury history.
Curious to see who get paid better Barkley or Henry.

I could care less where Barkley lands. As long as we don't give him a second contract and allocate that savings somewhere else I'm good.
There will be high quality running backs galore on day two of the draft and still some solid ones on day three. Not concerned. We have much bigger fish to fry on this team than that.
I wouldn't care in the least. From what I have seen, Barkley has lost that special speed and burst that made him special. Over the past few years, I tune in to the playoffs, and I routinely see RBs making bigger or equal contributions to their teams as Barkley makes to the Giants.
Can we sign and trade him to the Texans for a late 2nd?

I've kind of settled in mind...and accepted it...that he is gone. I think he feels the same way. A new team for him would do him a lot of good...and in the process, probably help the Giants as they can no longer rely so heavily on one man for their offense. Love the guy, but he's gone. That's my story, and I'm stickin to it!

I would hate to see them have to let him walk but whether or not they can do a tag and trade, c'est au revoir, Saquon. Bonne chance et meilleurs voeux!
Cheers!
Letting Barkley go seems very logical considering the team needs, but still have Mara's affection of him to deal with.
I hope Schoen can make that decision unfettered by his potential input.

Just a hunch, but I have a feeling Mara isn't going to be a problem on this.
Sorry but I fear most of you have him way overrated talent wise after 6 years and salary wise I am willing to wager he barely get a sniff as a FA.
In todays NFL he is just an ordinary RB, nothing more.
If smart he will resign with us for 6 million and and keep making endorsement dollars that are not available anywhere else.
Bottom line history will show that drafting Barkley and Daniel Jones set this franchise back a good 5 years in terms of rebuild.
Add in one hot head HC who has no end of game decision making skills and you have got quite a recipe.
So the O Line can give a pass to all the QBs, the WRs for not getting time to get open but a guy who put up nearly 1000 yards in 14 games can't catch the same break and might not get a sniff in free agency? Okay.
Now, if you don't want to re-sign Barkley because of cost and age - I have no problem with that but to think he's a busted flush, I'm not so sure about that.
I would like to see him go to a team that can run block. Give him an opportunity to excel and meet the expectations that people had for him. He's not going to get it here.
Do a sign and trade with Chicago and package it with the #6 pick. Get our QB and don't look back.

But they weren't required to be honest about it. /sarcasm/
I'm actually hoping now that he goes to a team that'll take advantage of what he has to offer and that he goes bananas. He's a great player and teammate and he deserves better than what the Giants can give him.
Of course, that opens a GIANT hole at RB that will then need to be filled in the draft, but it is what it is. The guy deserves a better fanbase and a fresh start.
I don't know whether or not to take some of these comment seriously or not so I won't quote anyone.
Barkley is not going to the Cowboys, full stop. They have Tony Pollard who is a free agent coming off the franchise tag. If they don't want him at 27 years old why would they want Barkley at the same age?
Trading Barkley to Dallas? How? He would need to be tagged and traded. Wouldn't Dallas just tag Pollard and save the draft pick?
Philly has Swift who was 5th in the NFL in rushing plus Gainwell. Why on earth would they want to add Barkley to that mix at whatever he is demanding. They can just tag Swift.

I agree with everything except the better fan base. For the most part, Giants fans have welcomed and appreciated 26. But we've also been realistic about his injuries, penchant for not hitting the hole aggressively, and potential price tag.

One of my pet peeves is the use of "honestly" when you mean "frankly." To me, the subtext of "honestly, I think..." is that you don't always tell the truth. I much prefer "frankly" or "to be blunt" as it doesn't imply other incidents where one is less than honest.
I would be OK with it. I have come 180 degrees on Barkley from not really thinking he was a tough runner and too many whiffs on pass blocking , to being a dynamic player and pretty much the focal point on offense. At the same time the Giants are just not a good football team to justify what Bark is going to get paid. The coaching ; talent ; QB have just not been here to feel bad about Bark leaving.
Not upset at all. I have posted exhaustively on this subject (not just Barkley but 2nd RB contracts in general) so I'll spare everyone my going through it all again.
