@@cremdeniro237 After winning a playoff series yes. He had his literal best game ever. Lmao His line got wrecked week 1 when Thomas went out. He was doomed from the start. Any QB would’ve been. Saquon or another decent RB wouldn’t have changed anything.
That 40 mil qb took us to our first playoff win in over a decade and carried us to victory that 13 mil rb has been injured and lost the same speed he’s not as explosive he dances too much in the backfield and barely averages any yards with only one home run play per game both have injury problems but saquon isn’t all that team has other needs n paying him the most to be a below average back for three quarters just to rip off two big runs ain’t worth it

As a former N,Y. Giant's fan I'm so disappointed in the ownership,G.M. on paying bumper Jones all the cash & letting Barkley go to their rivals ??? Somebody had their head up their ass on this one.🤣🤑🤣
The Giants have been a team building for the future. Going to the playoffs in 2022 was a mirage. As Joe Schoen says "you can't have a $40MM dollar QB hand off to a $12MM dollar running back. We're going to know this year if Daniel Jones can succeed or fail.
Mina’s comment at the end saying they’ll have to succeed through the air now if they want to be successful is the whole Point. That’s how they want to run their offense. And if Jones can’t do that, then they know they have to move on from him. But you’ll never find out if you run saquon into the ground like they’ve been doing.
EXACTLY!! Daboll wants to pass the ball, the plan was always to develop the qb and pass the ball, hence his not wanting to overpay. Had saquon accepted the first deal they offered, which was better akin to Phillys, we’d just be going into yet another season with a struggling offense that can neither protect the passer nor open holes for the runner and therefore fails to be productive at all. It’d have been the very definition of insanity, same formula but expecting different results…
People broke the contract down for Barkley 2 years ago but you mainstream folks kept telling us "market value" like play didn't actually matter. At least start giving us our proper appreciation instead of talking like the idea came out of nowhere and not just from "nobodies". 😅 Appreciate you guys btw.
Saquan added nothing to the eagles offense that they didn't have with swift so please stop eagles overpaid and they know it just wanted to stick it to the Giants and Saquan knew all along he wanted out never wanted to retire as a Giant he's from phily anyway
Mina is 100% correct. That's what I've saying all along. They should have signed Saquon and franchised tagged Jones. That way you would have paid very little for Jones now (after what everyone saw last season) and still have Saquon. And this is why I also keep saying that that GM is gone after this year.
The Market for running backs is extremely low and no doubt Saquan still has a lot of gas in the tank but it’s risky resigning him with his injury history. RBs are wear and tear and after that 5th season there is generally a downward sloping trend. Barkley was offered the same that Philly offered as well.
@@evanvergare5214 the Giants offered a bigger contract in terms of total value but Philly guaranteed him $26M, The Giants weren’t trying to guarantee no more than $20M.. I’ll take more money to go to a significantly better situation( better QB, better O-line & teams can’t lock in on me because they gotta worry about Hurts, AJ, Smitty & Goedert).. don’t try & be slick like we don’t know that the GUARANTEED money is why he left.. players don’t care about the total contract they care about the guaranteed money & I guarantee the Giants weren’t offering what Philly did
Also everyone seems to forget that Scheon had offered Barkley a better contract two seasons ago and he turned it down. And if I’m not mistaken it was better than what he got at Philly. But he and his agent got greedy and still walked away with less money than they were hoping for. I was a big fan of Saquon till he turned down the Giants offer then got mad and went to Philly. He’s a scumbag
@@RedBeardRey Why stay with a team going nowhere? More guaranteed money, closer to home and will be competing for a chip every season of his deal. Leaving was a no brainer. I am still a Saquon fan and will be.
So you’re telling me if you’re the GM and you have arguably the worst run blocking o line in the league; you’re going to pay a RB in his late 20s who’s been having more frequent injuries each year? These clowns just be saying anything
He was going to account for 2% against the cap😮 Let's put him at 4%! CHEAP ASS FRANCHISE, and the cap going up again next year, they could have paid him😂😂😂
How about improving the OLine and give the RB a good chance to show his value to the franchise? So the QB has the excuse of having a bad OLine and still get paid, but the RB got cut because of the same damn reason?
This guy tried to compare a dominant Receiver to a dominant RB, they aren’t the same in this league when one position is hitting 2.5x contracts compared to the other.
It seem like ESPN point of view is to make the Giants look bad. Schoen said in an earlier episode that he didn't know what the market was for RB. he didn't want to insult Barkley. I don't see how him testing Free agency is so bad to find out what his true value was. I hate that he left the Giants but it sound like he was done with the team no matter what on that phone call. He is a great talent that never really got to be as great as the Giants draft him to be. Gettleman said he would be a first ballot Hall of Famer. I think the best thing of both was to split ways. Saquon has an injury history also. I don't see the Giants winning with Barkley as the main focus of the offense. The Eagles is an overall better team roster wise.
Saquon was offered 13 mil a year in 2022, but he wanted 16. What you saw in hard knocks was the Giants GM sticking to the number they wanted to give Saquon and Saquon turning it down. Instead of tagging Saquon again and going through that drama, Schoen decided to let Saquon have what he wants. Go to FA and see if you can get 16 mil. If you do...egg on my face and let us try to match whatever the highest offer you get is. Whats the big deal here guys? These analysts are idiots on this show.
It’s a big deal because he’s clearly the best player on the team. And it send the message to the rest of the locker room that you can do your best and they still gonna play with your money. Even if they paid saquon that still would be less than what they have paid jones.
@@chrismitchell7261 Regardless of DJ being the quarterback...would you agree that paying a QB is more important than paying an RB? If you say no then I have nothing further to say to you because that would be stupid so I assume you would agree that a QB is far more important to a teams success than an RB is. Beyond the QB for all other positions you can also agree that its a team sport. And you need to build a good team in order to win the goal of a championship. You cant build a team by overpaying positions that you do not intend to rely half of the offense on. They clearly dont want to run half the plays through the RB, its not their strategy, so really if you offer Saquon 16 mil to come back...you are just doing it based on your feelings for the man which is fkin stupid. Was he the best player on the offense? Yeah. How many championships did he bring to NY on his back? None. Move on bro.
@@chrismitchell7261 And beyond everything I just said to you, they still asked him to give them a chance to match whatever his highest offer is on the market. I don't see why that's a problem. He still only ended up getting an avg of 12 mil per year from the Eagles (not 16) which is LESS than the Giants offered him. Go ahead and chime in about the incentives because I have yet to find details on what those even are.
@@chrismitchell7261hes not the best player on the team, Dexter Lawrence is 1000x better at his job than Saquon is.. and Andrew Thomas is easily a better player too. Saquon is the most overrated player in the NFL. A RB who never breaks tackles...
They should have tagged Daniel Jones and given Saquon Barkley the same deal he just signed with the Eagles. That was the original sin. Saquon Barkley was the GIANTS BEST PLAYER. A DIVISIONAL ARCH RIVAL paid him more than they have EVER paid a RB confirms that indeed he was.
@@cremdeniro237 you can def afford to overpay a QB. Eagles overpaid an injury prone wentz and won a title despite that. You overpay a RB they drain much more cash that could be spread across your line. Not to mention a lack of a real WR1 till Nabers didn’t help.
Having Saquon hasn’t made this a good team, over paying for a running back is like having a super nice car living in a shack. Let’s get our house together first, there are great rbs coming out every year
It seems from the first moment the NY Giants approved Saquon back in November 2022 all the way until the off season of 2024, almost everyone, (some fans and media) had sided with Saquon. Some are even saying that the Giants were foolish not to sign him and have chose Daniel Jones instead. This debate has come forward even more in light of the Hard Knock episodes. The truth is to sign Saquon to a long term deal would have been a mistake for the Giants. It's easy to say what a team should/shouldn't do from the comfort of your own home or a studio instead of physically being in the organization. This regime when they first took over had to basically clean up the mess left over by two previous regimes. If you observe this current regime, you will see they put money into positions they value most, the offensive line and defense with the extentions of Andrew Thomas and Dexter Lawrence, the drafting of Kayvon Thibodeaux and bring in Bobby Okerekee. Yes Barkley did alot for the organization, but you have to at the end do what's best for the team moving forward. The truth is the Giants made a mistake in drafting Barkley in 2018 as he was a luxury they couldn't afford at the state they were in. To have resigned him, they would have double down on that.
Having a back like Barkley is having a final piece to a team that is close to winning a SB! The Giants are no where close to being in a SB they have so many other needs!
Everyone acts like we won with saquan we had 1 winning season with him! That’s why the old gm is gone. Let Joe cook I like to try new meat especially if it’s old and can’t produce wins let’s try something new to get Wins
The way he said Ed Berry's name, you know it's about to be bullshit coming out of Joe Schoen's mouth. But he redeemed himself with the Brian Burns Trade. A 2nd and a 5th for an All Pro LB is wild.
I just don’t understand what these media people don’t get. Barkley was not a difference maker for a team that needs a difference maker. He’s a difference maker for a team that is already good. Joe shoen did not draft Barkley. He does not believe in the value of rbs. As he shouldn’t. What Super Bowl teams do u know in the last 10 years that have been paying their rb over 10 mil a year? I’ll wait.
Why do these folks argue about these with not doing their research. The Giants offered Barkley a 14m deal in November of 2022. His agent thought he could get 16m-20m. 2nd. The Giants paid Dex, Andre Thomas, Jones, and Burns. They don't have an issue of not paying players. 3rd. If you watch preview of next episode, the Giants offered Barkley 25 guaranteed/12.5m per, he turned it down to go to Philly for 25g /13.5m. He can walk to Philly 4. Statistics show running back at age 27 take large dip in production. Then you fact or in Barkley's injury history. /12m
Giants made the right call. Drafting Saquon was the first mistake. Should have went for a QB with that pick. Nevertheless they shouldn't overpay for an injury prone RB when they already have an overpaid QB and no O-line. Build an oline, let Saquon test FA and i think deep down they know DJ is not that guy. The only issue is Mara who loves DJ.
It wasn’t similar. Guaranteed money is the only important thing in an NFl deal. It was disrespectful. They even pulled the offer that year and refused to put it back in the table for months. We all saw it.
That math is wrong. Barkley's APY as a cap hit would be 6%, not 2%. There's only 3 teams in the NFL above that, but two of those Saints/Kamara, Colts/Taylor have significantly less guaranteed money tied to the contracts as compared to Barkley. Kamara and Taylor will likely never see all theirs.
Mina is right. Giants were stupid for giving Jones 40mil and tagging saquon. Bad mgmt = bad teams. When saquon rushes for 2k yds and the giants have 4 wins nxt season, i hope they fire Joe schoen
The Giants first mistake was drafting Saquon 2nd overall, when they should've drafted a QB. The Giants second issue was at the time their front office, and coaching staff were in turmoil. You can say what you want about how things went down this past off season, but last year coming off the 2022 playoff season, they were stuck with 2 free agents. Saquon, and Daniel Jones. The Giants initially wanted to sign SB, and tag DJ, but SB reject their offer, he felt he was worth more money. From the Giants stand point, SB although a good RB, had only had 3 seasons of his career w/o injury, and he's now 27 y/o. The Giants were also stuck with cap issues left over from the previous GM. The Giants, made DJ a offer that was 2 million /yr over his tag price, and a contract with an out after 2 years. Mind you, DJ was a playoff winning QB at the time. When all is said and done DJ got a very pedestrian contract for a QB. Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence have essentially the same QB stats, but DJ's contract is 10 million less. After last years uproar with being tagged, and Saquon basically realizing he wasn't gonna get a McCafferty type contract he was upset. I believe that unless the Giants made him some crazy offer to stay SB was going to leave no matter what was said. I wish SB didn't go to the Eagles, but i believe that Joe Shoen did what was in the best interest of the Giants. The contrat that SB took in Philly, wasn't very much more than what the Giants offered, so i believe that SB was leaving NY no matter what.
@@adamwallace8082 this right here. You can tell who hasn’t been paying attention to the Giants because to us who have none of this is a surprise. Saquon wants more money. He never cared to stay a Giant. He was all talk but just wanted to see dollar signs. I’m not gonna sit here and pray for injuries but I do hope the Eagles offense struggles with him. After all the headaches he gave us
Most people are not knowledgable about how aful that giants oline was. We needed to address that issue for the last decade and we couldnt afford to pay a star rb all that money when we have other needs. I cant recall the last time a superbowl winner that their main offense was just purely a run game. Yes i agree paying dj that much was insane but i wouldnt pay saquon knowing his injury history and that rbs now a days dont last long
What is it about sports media that they don't understand that building a football is a business! The Giants has so many holes to fill with not much cap room! What winning team starts and prioritize getting RB before fixing an O line, DE, WR, and a backfield? Barkley is a great player, but no matter how good Barkley is he will not take the Giants to the promise land. I do think Shane would had like to have signed him unfortunately Giant are in need of a lot of quality players and could not overpay for a player regardless how good he is and was not always available due to injuries. Shane was looking for a more affordable contract and Barkley wanted a lot more than the market price, I get it, this might be Barkley last shot at getting a big contract, but the Giants could not prioritize the RB position no matter how good he is. I don't fault either side it was just time for both party to move on!
At this point it just baffles me that the self proclaimed “worldwide leader in sports” can’t get the facts straight. Stop with the Giants “chose” Jones over Barkley, they tried to sign Barkley MULTIPLE times throughout the 2022 season going back to the trade deadline. They offered him 13mil a year, they offered him 23mil guaranteed and he kept saying no. They WERE trying to sign him and tag Jones but he wouldn’t agree to anything the Giants offered him so they had to resort to plan b which was to sign Jones instead. The Giants didn’t choose Jones, Barkley didn’t let the Giants choose him. You can literally google it. This narrative to keep making Saquon look like the victim and some kind of saint is getting real old. Someone who truly wants to “be a Giant for life” would not go to the arch rival over a couple million guaranteed money; he never wanted to come back and going to the Eagles to stick it to them proves it. Stop with the BS.
You really going to act like the sticking point wasn't what those contracts were? literally the show calls saquon the giants best player, That's not how you treat your best player.
Giants fan here, of course they do, that doesn't fit their narrative. Literally Saqoun was offered deals during the 2022 season before the off season and he kept rejecting the deals. People acting like Saqoun didn't only have 2 good seasons during his career. Bro definitely hasn't been that consistent with health and production as people make it out to be.
@@demonslayer-ds9vo He was a 2x pro bowler as a Giant in an offense were literally everybody focused on stopping him.. Teams were literally daring the Giants to throw the ball which is crazy given that we’re in a pass happy era of football
Saquan didn't want to be franchise tagged!!!! What are yall talking about!! The giants did the right thing for him. Now let's see on the next episode if Saquan circled back or not.
people keep saying “ they paid DJ and not Barkley” as if schoen didn’t offer Barkley basically the same contract he got with Philly. Yes, Philly gave more guaranteed money but the giants DID offer him. So the giants didn’t “lose” saquon…he left on his own. Why ? Because he didn’t want to be there.
People also fail to understand he could’ve locked in pretty much the same contract 1.5 years in advance. Giving him wiggle room for a third at 29 and not 30 years old. Could’ve also used the bonus earlier and made investments or something with it.
😂 Riiiggghhht. With that “same” contract Saquon had to do x,y,z to get that money. Which was damn near impossible with that offense. Stop it, guaranteed is priority.
@@kevinstewart8054 bc you need a QB to win. They thought Jones was the guy after the nice 22 season & playoff win. They took a risk & it's basically a 2 yr deal that they can get out of after this season. SB teams don't have high priced RBs, nobody builds their offense on running the ball Giants know they have to evolve
@@kevinstewart8054 Did you miss the part where I said they can get out of the deal after next season. I think they will aquire a new QB for next yr too. What's not cute is the lack of reading comprehension some of you display 🤦
Signing jones and franchising Barkely are separate issues. Giants are not in a position to win a superbowl. That being the case, paying top dollar for an aging RB just doesn’t make sense. Taking a shot on a young mobile qb who won a playoff game with a subpar roster is not a bad plan. It didn’t work out granted, but the plan made sense. Also at this point after you sign a QB to see if he will be the guy you have to give him every shot to prove himself. Only way to do that is to give him a decent o line and a receiving weapon and see if he can run the offense. Not hand the ball off to an elite RB and be no closer to seeing what Jones really is.
Schoen botched this up, plain and simple. Saquon should've been a priority with the Giants, instead he was treated as "just another running back." They weren't that far apart, but Schoen was so worried about upsetting the "market for running backs" nonsense, instead of worrying about doing what was best for the Giants and their pathetic offense. Sorry, John Mara should've gotten more involved in this.
I have said on UA-cam and other social media cites that the NFL salaries are way out of wack. QBs get paid too much and RBs not enough. The NFL is not as smart as they think they are. The Brock Purdy situation is a perfect example. One team in the entire league saw value in the kid from Iowa State, but he won a starting job on a team the has been to the super bowl the past 2 years. Hard Knocks showed the meticulous, painstaking analysis the Giants used to value Saquon, but the sad fact is that the Giants could not get the value above 12 million a year. I think that is wrong analysis, wrong thinking. If the Eagles have a good season this year, possibly get to a super bowl, the Giants will NEVER live that mistake down. How much is it worth to the team that wins the super bowl?
I don't get the hate on this. Giants were openly working with Saquon to get what's best for him. They don't want to tag him because that's not what he wants. They worked out a deal after tagging last year. Normally the players don't get the call at all or it goes through the agent.
Giants management is the reason the giants are where they are. Paying a 4th string QB millions and then letting your best player walk is poor leadership! They did the same thing with Beckham. Granted, Beckham was a dick but he could play. You don't win games by trading your star players or letting them walk!
They don’t want to build it up from the running back position they want to build it from the qb position that’s y they commented that they didn’t pay DJ 40 mil to hand off to a 12 mil dollar player
Why is it such a big fucking deal? The Giants sucked when he was on the roster and the Giants are gonna suck when he’s off the roster. Players leave teams all the time it’s part of the game.
What makes the whole situation worse is that the eagles got him ifffffff they win a Superbowl especially this year and Barkley has a huge part NY will be sick
That was the original sin at all. The original sin was on Barkley. Giants offered 2 contracts their best one would've been more per year than Philly but 1 million less in guaranteed money. If he wanted to be a Giant he would've taken that. He clearly was done with the team. The team, Saquon and rational fans have all moved on.
Saquon isn't even a discussion the discussion is who in the blue hell thought giving Jones 40 million dollars was a good idea? That's the problem people ok you can pick up another back cool but who in the blue hell thought Jones deserved that much money?
As a giant fan I hope saquan does terrible. So sick of hearing this garbage. He is on the decline. Enough with this. He did not deserve more. Giants got it right. Wrong on jones obviously but this part they got right. Should have let them both walk.
Nothing like showing percentage of a teams offense of a team that hasn't seen much success. For all the talk of Saquon, what difference has he made for the Giants? 6 win seasons? Bye Saquon. And bye soon to be DJ
@@yepdontcarebud My point exactly. Eli is a 2 time Super Bowl Champion. Should easily get into the HOF. But yet, the Giants allowed him to be benched. For Daniel Jones😂. Basically forced him into retirement. Giants will forever be a trash organization for how they treated Eli. So this is no surprise how they treated Saquon.
OK, we lost Saquon, but we significantly upgraded our defense. We’ll see. Let’s see if Philadelphia can beat the brakes off us with an improved defense that remains to be seen.
No one cares about snakeuon if he went to any other team not named the eagles or cowboys no giant fan would say anything about him this how rivalry’s in sports have always been
All this saquon barkley talks about him being a traitor is simply ridiculous. If the giants really valued him, he should have never been able to take a step into free agency. He'll be revitalized in Philly, where he will be loved and appreciated for the player/person that he is 🦅🦅🦅
@jfinity_362 No, yall didn't offer a fully guaranteed contract. Stop the cap! You all only guaranteed the 1st year of that bogus contract offer. Why would any smart player who knows his worth sign a contract like that.

The Giants have been a team building for the future. Going to the playoffs in 2022 was a mirage. As Joe Schoen says "you can't have a $40MM dollar QB hand off to a $12MM dollar running back. We're going to know this year if Daniel Jones can succeed or fail.
He’ll fail stop being hopeful
The giants have been building for about 7 years now

Mina is 100% correct. That's what I've saying all along. They should have signed Saquon and franchised tagged Jones. That way you would have paid very little for Jones now (after what everyone saw last season) and still have Saquon. And this is why I also keep saying that that GM is gone after this year.
What league would you overpay a RB over a QB lol
The Market for running backs is extremely low and no doubt Saquan still has a lot of gas in the tank but it’s risky resigning him with his injury history. RBs are wear and tear and after that 5th season there is generally a downward sloping trend. Barkley was offered the same that Philly offered as well.
That requires common sense from a billionaire
@@jfinity_362oh you dumb danny pennies is not worth 40 mill they could have traded danny for picks than went back into the draft for better
@@evanvergare5214 the Giants offered a bigger contract in terms of total value but Philly guaranteed him $26M, The Giants weren’t trying to guarantee no more than $20M.. I’ll take more money to go to a significantly better situation( better QB, better O-line & teams can’t lock in on me because they gotta worry about Hurts, AJ, Smitty & Goedert).. don’t try & be slick like we don’t know that the GUARANTEED money is why he left.. players don’t care about the total contract they care about the guaranteed money & I guarantee the Giants weren’t offering what Philly did
Nope. The original sin was drafting a rb in the 1st round when you were so far from contending. Get with the times
If the Giants signed him the same media would be blowing up on them for overpaying a RB.
Also everyone seems to forget that Scheon had offered Barkley a better contract two seasons ago and he turned it down. And if I’m not mistaken it was better than what he got at Philly. But he and his agent got greedy and still walked away with less money than they were hoping for. I was a big fan of Saquon till he turned down the Giants offer then got mad and went to Philly. He’s a scumbag
@@RedBeardRey Why stay with a team going nowhere? More guaranteed money, closer to home and will be competing for a chip every season of his deal. Leaving was a no brainer. I am still a Saquon fan and will be.
@@SimeonToko that all goes out the window when he said he wanted to retire a Giant. Thats all irrelevant at this point.
@@RedBeardRey I'm sure he did want to retire as a Giant at the price he wanted.
If they didn't pay Daniel Jones so much no they wouldn't they would say it was a building piece Had they drafted a qb when they couldve
The GM should loose his Job after that vidio😂😂😂
Big facts yo💯😤👏💯that was awful
I blame ownership for the Jones contract tbh. Mara's have had a hard on for Jones since he was drafted
So you’re telling me if you’re the GM and you have arguably the worst run blocking o line in the league; you’re going to pay a RB in his late 20s who’s been having more frequent injuries each year? These clowns just be saying anything
Thank you I swear people just talk out of feelings
He was going to account for 2% against the cap😮 Let's put him at 4%! CHEAP ASS FRANCHISE, and the cap going up again next year, they could have paid him😂😂😂
Because paying Daniel Jones 40 mil a year after a 22 TD season made so much more sense? There’s a thing called improving the o line
How about improving the OLine and give the RB a good chance to show his value to the franchise? So the QB has the excuse of having a bad OLine and still get paid, but the RB got cut because of the same damn reason?
@@will35719711 so you’re paying an aging frequently injured RB with no o line help just to pay him???? Make it make sense
This guy tried to compare a dominant Receiver to a dominant RB, they aren’t the same in this league when one position is hitting 2.5x contracts compared to the other.
Mina, your take aged out! He looked SPECTACULAR against the Giants!
It seem like ESPN point of view is to make the Giants look bad. Schoen said in an earlier episode that he didn't know what the market was for RB. he didn't want to insult Barkley. I don't see how him testing Free agency is so bad to find out what his true value was. I hate that he left the Giants but it sound like he was done with the team no matter what on that phone call. He is a great talent that never really got to be as great as the Giants draft him to be. Gettleman said he would be a first ballot Hall of Famer. I think the best thing of both was to split ways. Saquon has an injury history also. I don't see the Giants winning with Barkley as the main focus of the offense. The Eagles is an overall better team roster wise.
Giants need no help looking bad, they're a clown show for years.
Saquon was offered 13 mil a year in 2022, but he wanted 16. What you saw in hard knocks was the Giants GM sticking to the number they wanted to give Saquon and Saquon turning it down. Instead of tagging Saquon again and going through that drama, Schoen decided to let Saquon have what he wants. Go to FA and see if you can get 16 mil. If you do...egg on my face and let us try to match whatever the highest offer you get is. Whats the big deal here guys? These analysts are idiots on this show.
It’s a big deal because he’s clearly the best player on the team. And it send the message to the rest of the locker room that you can do your best and they still gonna play with your money. Even if they paid saquon that still would be less than what they have paid jones.
@@chrismitchell7261 Regardless of DJ being the quarterback...would you agree that paying a QB is more important than paying an RB? If you say no then I have nothing further to say to you because that would be stupid so I assume you would agree that a QB is far more important to a teams success than an RB is. Beyond the QB for all other positions you can also agree that its a team sport. And you need to build a good team in order to win the goal of a championship. You cant build a team by overpaying positions that you do not intend to rely half of the offense on. They clearly dont want to run half the plays through the RB, its not their strategy, so really if you offer Saquon 16 mil to come back...you are just doing it based on your feelings for the man which is fkin stupid. Was he the best player on the offense? Yeah. How many championships did he bring to NY on his back? None. Move on bro.
@@chrismitchell7261 And beyond everything I just said to you, they still asked him to give them a chance to match whatever his highest offer is on the market. I don't see why that's a problem. He still only ended up getting an avg of 12 mil per year from the Eagles (not 16) which is LESS than the Giants offered him. Go ahead and chime in about the incentives because I have yet to find details on what those even are.
Exactly people don’t follow us giants and tend to make up a narrative it’s weird
@@chrismitchell7261hes not the best player on the team, Dexter Lawrence is 1000x better at his job than Saquon is.. and Andrew Thomas is easily a better player too.
Saquon is the most overrated player in the NFL. A RB who never breaks tackles...
They should have tagged Daniel Jones and given Saquon Barkley the same deal he just signed with the Eagles.
That was the original sin. Saquon Barkley was the GIANTS BEST PLAYER. A DIVISIONAL ARCH RIVAL paid him more than they have EVER paid a RB confirms that indeed he was.
You don’t overpay a RB
They should have found a 🤡 to trade for danny paying him was just stupid nobody else would have paid danny pennies 40 mill
@@jfinity_362you also don't over pay a trash qb in danny pennies
@@cremdeniro237 after the playoffs win plenty were interested in signing him. Don’t change history
@@cremdeniro237 you can def afford to overpay a QB. Eagles overpaid an injury prone wentz and won a title despite that. You overpay a RB they drain much more cash that could be spread across your line. Not to mention a lack of a real WR1 till Nabers didn’t help.
Having Saquon hasn’t made this a good team, over paying for a running back is like having a super nice car living in a shack. Let’s get our house together first, there are great rbs coming out every year
@5:34
Molly talkin bout.. "the Eagles beating the brakes off the Giants". Haven't they been doing that when Saquon was on the Giants roster? 🤣🤣🤣
Now it's just gone be worse. Belt to AS.... ! 😂
It seems from the first moment the NY Giants approved Saquon back in November 2022 all the way until the off season of 2024, almost everyone, (some fans and media) had sided with Saquon. Some are even saying that the Giants were foolish not to sign him and have chose Daniel Jones instead. This debate has come forward even more in light of the Hard Knock episodes. The truth is to sign Saquon to a long term deal would have been a mistake for the Giants. It's easy to say what a team should/shouldn't do from the comfort of your own home or a studio instead of physically being in the organization. This regime when they first took over had to basically clean up the mess left over by two previous regimes. If you observe this current regime, you will see they put money into positions they value most, the offensive line and defense with the extentions of Andrew Thomas and Dexter Lawrence, the drafting of Kayvon Thibodeaux and bring in Bobby Okerekee. Yes Barkley did alot for the organization, but you have to at the end do what's best for the team moving forward. The truth is the Giants made a mistake in drafting Barkley in 2018 as he was a luxury they couldn't afford at the state they were in. To have resigned him, they would have double down on that.
Having a back like Barkley is having a final piece to a team that is close to winning a SB! The Giants are no where close to being in a SB they have so many other needs!
Everyone acts like we won with saquan we had 1 winning season with him! That’s why the old gm is gone. Let Joe cook I like to try new meat especially if it’s old and can’t produce wins let’s try something new to get Wins
The way he said Ed Berry's name, you know it's about to be bullshit coming out of Joe Schoen's mouth. But he redeemed himself with the Brian Burns Trade. A 2nd and a 5th for an All Pro LB is wild.
I couldn’t disagree more with Molly. This is the point of hard knocks.
I just don’t understand what these media people don’t get. Barkley was not a difference maker for a team that needs a difference maker. He’s a difference maker for a team that is already good. Joe shoen did not draft Barkley. He does not believe in the value of rbs. As he shouldn’t. What Super Bowl teams do u know in the last 10 years that have been paying their rb over 10 mil a year? I’ll wait.
Why do these folks argue about these with not doing their research. The Giants offered Barkley a 14m deal in November of 2022. His agent thought he could get 16m-20m.
2nd. The Giants paid Dex, Andre Thomas, Jones, and Burns. They don't have an issue of not paying players.
3rd. If you watch preview of next episode, the Giants offered Barkley 25 guaranteed/12.5m per, he turned it down to go to Philly for 25g /13.5m. He can walk to Philly
4. Statistics show running back at age 27 take large dip in production. Then you fact or in Barkley's injury history.
/12m
Giants made the right call. Drafting Saquon was the first mistake. Should have went for a QB with that pick. Nevertheless they shouldn't overpay for an injury prone RB when they already have an overpaid QB and no O-line. Build an oline, let Saquon test FA and i think deep down they know DJ is not that guy. The only issue is Mara who loves DJ.
As a Giants fan I die little bit inside seeing and hearing this. 🤢
Barkley got an offer the year before he was franchised. A very, very similar deal. Barkley said no. As a Giants fan I’m glad he stood his ground.
It wasn’t similar. Guaranteed money is the only important thing in an NFl deal. It was disrespectful. They even pulled the offer that year and refused to put it back in the table for months. We all saw it.
@@amberreed4443 not signing Barkley WAS NOT the gm’s blunder. Not picking up Jones 5the tear option was.
He is played one whole season in his career what do you people talking about
I have never seen ESPN do this deep of a dive into hard knocks.
NY media for a NY team
Probably got a deal with HBO to report on show. ESPN needs all the help it can get.
Mina nailed it. Best take on this mess if your a Giant's fanl
That math is wrong. Barkley's APY as a cap hit would be 6%, not 2%. There's only 3 teams in the NFL above that, but two of those Saints/Kamara, Colts/Taylor have significantly less guaranteed money tied to the contracts as compared to Barkley. Kamara and Taylor will likely never see all theirs.
lol context is key Joe Schoen tried to give him an extension the year that giants beat the Vikings and Saquon turned the offer down
Mina is right. Giants were stupid for giving Jones 40mil and tagging saquon. Bad mgmt = bad teams. When saquon rushes for 2k yds and the giants have 4 wins nxt season, i hope they fire Joe schoen
If the head coach wanted Barkley he would still be there.
The Giants first mistake was drafting Saquon 2nd overall, when they should've drafted a QB. The Giants second issue was at the time their front office, and coaching staff were in turmoil. You can say what you want about how things went down this past off season, but last year coming off the 2022 playoff season, they were stuck with 2 free agents. Saquon, and Daniel Jones. The Giants initially wanted to sign SB, and tag DJ, but SB reject their offer, he felt he was worth more money. From the Giants stand point, SB although a good RB, had only had 3 seasons of his career w/o injury, and he's now 27 y/o. The Giants were also stuck with cap issues left over from the previous GM. The Giants, made DJ a offer that was 2 million /yr over his tag price, and a contract with an out after 2 years. Mind you, DJ was a playoff winning QB at the time. When all is said and done DJ got a very pedestrian contract for a QB. Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence have essentially the same QB stats, but DJ's contract is 10 million less. After last years uproar with being tagged, and Saquon basically realizing he wasn't gonna get a McCafferty type contract he was upset. I believe that unless the Giants made him some crazy offer to stay SB was going to leave no matter what was said. I wish SB didn't go to the Eagles, but i believe that Joe Shoen did what was in the best interest of the Giants. The contrat that SB took in Philly, wasn't very much more than what the Giants offered, so i believe that SB was leaving NY no matter what.
@@adamwallace8082 this right here. You can tell who hasn’t been paying attention to the Giants because to us who have none of this is a surprise. Saquon wants more money. He never cared to stay a Giant. He was all talk but just wanted to see dollar signs. I’m not gonna sit here and pray for injuries but I do hope the Eagles offense struggles with him. After all the headaches he gave us
Wow Kimes called it 100%
Most people are not knowledgable about how aful that giants oline was. We needed to address that issue for the last decade and we couldnt afford to pay a star rb all that money when we have other needs. I cant recall the last time a superbowl winner that their main offense was just purely a run game. Yes i agree paying dj that much was insane but i wouldnt pay saquon knowing his injury history and that rbs now a days dont last long
What is it about sports media that they don't understand that building a football is a business! The Giants has so many holes to fill with not much cap room! What winning team starts and prioritize getting RB before fixing an O line, DE, WR, and a backfield? Barkley is a great player, but no matter how good Barkley is he will not take the Giants to the promise land. I do think Shane would had like to have signed him unfortunately Giant are in need of a lot of quality players and could not overpay for a player regardless how good he is and was not always available due to injuries. Shane was looking for a more affordable contract and Barkley wanted a lot more than the market price, I get it, this might be Barkley last shot at getting a big contract, but the Giants could not prioritize the RB position no matter how good he is. I don't fault either side it was just time for both party to move on!
At this point it just baffles me that the self proclaimed “worldwide leader in sports” can’t get the facts straight. Stop with the Giants “chose” Jones over Barkley, they tried to sign Barkley MULTIPLE times throughout the 2022 season going back to the trade deadline. They offered him 13mil a year, they offered him 23mil guaranteed and he kept saying no. They WERE trying to sign him and tag Jones but he wouldn’t agree to anything the Giants offered him so they had to resort to plan b which was to sign Jones instead. The Giants didn’t choose Jones, Barkley didn’t let the Giants choose him. You can literally google it. This narrative to keep making Saquon look like the victim and some kind of saint is getting real old. Someone who truly wants to “be a Giant for life” would not go to the arch rival over a couple million guaranteed money; he never wanted to come back and going to the Eagles to stick it to them proves it. Stop with the BS.
They forgot to mention how the Giants already offered him 2 contracts
You really going to act like the sticking point wasn't what those contracts were? literally the show calls saquon the giants best player, That's not how you treat your best player.
2 shitty fuckkng contracts. You take care of your franchise player. I hope dabol and gm get fired
Giants fan here, of course they do, that doesn't fit their narrative. Literally Saqoun was offered deals during the 2022 season before the off season and he kept rejecting the deals. People acting like Saqoun didn't only have 2 good seasons during his career. Bro definitely hasn't been that consistent with health and production as people make it out to be.

people keep saying “ they paid DJ and not Barkley” as if schoen didn’t offer Barkley basically the same contract he got with Philly. Yes, Philly gave more guaranteed money but the giants DID offer him. So the giants didn’t “lose” saquon…he left on his own. Why ? Because he didn’t want to be there.
Guarantees is the only thing that matters in contracts
People don't seem to understand what guaranteed money is lmao.
People also fail to understand he could’ve locked in pretty much the same contract 1.5 years in advance. Giving him wiggle room for a third at 29 and not 30 years old. Could’ve also used the bonus earlier and made investments or something with it.
😂 Riiiggghhht. With that “same” contract Saquon had to do x,y,z to get that money. Which was damn near impossible with that offense. Stop it, guaranteed is priority.
@@EastCoastPhuthey offered him 25 guaranteed... 1m less

Danny is the owner's boy. Thats where the problem starts. Let the people you hired run the team.
Just bc you can crunch numbers don't mean you know how to read the vibes & network with others🤦🏾♂️
Signing jones and franchising Barkely are separate issues. Giants are not in a position to win a superbowl. That being the case, paying top dollar for an aging RB just doesn’t make sense. Taking a shot on a young mobile qb who won a playoff game with a subpar roster is not a bad plan. It didn’t work out granted, but the plan made sense.
Also at this point after you sign a QB to see if he will be the guy you have to give him every shot to prove himself. Only way to do that is to give him a decent o line and a receiving weapon and see if he can run the offense. Not hand the ball off to an elite RB and be no closer to seeing what Jones really is.
Schoen botched this up, plain and simple. Saquon should've been a priority with the Giants, instead he was treated as "just another running back." They weren't that far apart, but Schoen was so worried about upsetting the "market for running backs" nonsense, instead of worrying about doing what was best for the Giants and their pathetic offense. Sorry, John Mara should've gotten more involved in this.
Offense was pathetic with him he’s just another rb
The sin is drafting a QB from Duke, Daniel Jones!!!!! That's why I am rather be an atrocious Cowboy fan than be a Giant fan!!!!
I have said on UA-cam and other social media cites that the NFL salaries are way out of wack. QBs get paid too much and RBs not enough. The NFL is not as smart as they think they are. The Brock Purdy situation is a perfect example. One team in the entire league saw value in the kid from Iowa State, but he won a starting job on a team the has been to the super bowl the past 2 years. Hard Knocks showed the meticulous, painstaking analysis the Giants used to value Saquon, but the sad fact is that the Giants could not get the value above 12 million a year. I think that is wrong analysis, wrong thinking. If the Eagles have a good season this year, possibly get to a super bowl, the Giants will NEVER live that mistake down. How much is it worth to the team that wins the super bowl?
*This proves Teams Do Not Have Loyalty to their Players*
Great show Mike n hary
The Giants will get it together eventually
Waiting patiently for the flip of the take when the Giants start winning again
I don't get the hate on this. Giants were openly working with Saquon to get what's best for him. They don't want to tag him because that's not what he wants. They worked out a deal after tagging last year.
Normally the players don't get the call at all or it goes through the agent.
Giants management is the reason the giants are where they are. Paying a 4th string QB millions and then letting your best player walk is poor leadership! They did the same thing with Beckham. Granted, Beckham was a dick but he could play. You don't win games by trading your star players or letting them walk!
Saquon wasn't even our 3rd best player last year.
They don’t want to build it up from the running back position they want to build it from the qb position that’s y they commented that they didn’t pay DJ 40 mil to hand off to a 12 mil dollar player
Why is it such a big fucking deal? The Giants sucked when he was on the roster and the Giants are gonna suck when he’s off the roster. Players leave teams all the time it’s part of the game.
this is absurd. How else do they think negotiations happen? absurd
What makes the whole situation worse is that the eagles got him ifffffff they win a Superbowl especially this year and Barkley has a huge part NY will be sick
