At the very least, he's been more dependable than Barkley. No he isn't the same back, he doesn't have the big play ability that Saquon does, he won't take over a game.
What he will do is a lot of little things well, he'll be in the right hole, he's a good pass blocker. Solid type of vet you want on your team while you're trying to develop a young player or two.
Singletary is the very definition of mediocrity. But please, go ahead and take your anger out on other Giant fans rather than the rudderless management of this team...

Compensation update: Giants are giving former Texans RB Devin Singletary a 3-year, $16.5 million deal worth up to $19.5 million, per source.
Unless you know the guarantees you can't make that statement. It means nothing till the terms are released.
When people were discussing who the Giants should target if they lost Barkley, several people mentioned Singletary. If the Giants actually get a decent QB, instead of that bum they overpaid for last season, Singletary could be good in the RedZone, or on 3rd and inches situations.
This is a good signing.

Does Saquon really even have big play ability anymore?

most multi-year deals guarantee the first 2 years. on a deal this small it's not hard to figure because it will obviously be more than 1 year of AAV (5.5m) but less than the full amount. the guarantee is almost definitely between 8-12m, any of which would effectively make it a 2 year deal.
a lot less for similar production. And the signing fits how Schoen values the position. I will hate to see Saquon wearing the green slime but this makes sense.
Don't underestimate that quality. Add a RB in Rd 4 or so, and our RB should be taking shape.
What kind of shape? 2 jags? Yea, that's one shape.
You're not getting ground breaking or impact from this guy. Don't expect anything more than JAG type play. HE is what he is. Yes you can do worse. You can also do a lot better.

Or you can pay Saquon 20 million more over 3 years for almost identical production

but this would indicate more of a rotation at RB rather than Singletary being the main guy. This is part of the replacement of Barkley. I assume we bring in another vet along with a rookie to compete with whoever else we have.
Id rather have Singletary at the lower cost than Barkley at the higher cost though.
Lose excellent players
Sign mediocre
Repeat and stay shit
1137 touches
5283 scrimmage yards
4.6 yards per touch
32 TDs
Singletary
1063 touches
5213 scrimmage yards
4.9 yards per touch
24 TDs
This is over the last 5 seasons (Singletary first season in the NFL)
Dumb analogy. Golden was a shell of himself, clinging to his career.

tread on the tire, 100 more receptions, and 23 more tds in fewer games played. but tds aren't that important are they?

1 year guaranteed deal I mean

Devin Singletary has averaged more yards per carry than Saquon every single year for the last 5 years
Exactly.... no dancing for last yard behind the line.
And he has not missed games with injury.

Take out Saquon's monster rookie season and what do the numbers look like? Hint they're almost identical
doesnt rate well. credited with twice as many sacks last year in half as many snaps as barkley.

Not yet
I agree Saquon is overrated on this board
This has been a great day so far and we still have ammo for Burns and the NE guard.

LOL! There is a lot more of a difference than tread.
But don't let that fuck with your narrative
@NextGenStats
Devin Singletary gained more rushing yards than expected in 11 games in 2023, tied with Christian McCaffrey for the most among running backs.
Giants running backs recorded just +23 RYOE in 2023, 12th-most in the NFL.
This has been a great day so far and we still have ammo for Burns and the NE guard.
“Set”
We have nothing in backfield worth anything.
Doubt we get burns. And we ssigned a guard in Runyon lol

Well that settles it then.
Expect Singletary to look more like Eddie George 1999 here than Rasheed Jennings circa 2014.
It was way better than ours. No offensive line was remotely as bad as ours.
Though - you have to hope by dumb luck our line won't be as bad next year.
This has been a great day so far and we still have ammo for Burns and the NE guard.
Definitely leaning your way, but would rather steer clear of Burns. But I get the idea...

I doubt we sign the NE guard with the Runyan signing. They'll probably hope Ezeudu/McKethan can take the other guard spot.

Welcome to RBC.
The real solution is upfront, not the ball carriers. Six years of Barkley and the Giants had a top half running game once.
If you want the Giants to win on the ground, wish for another OG.

It’s important that Singltary has played more games despite being in the league a full season less, no?
And they rushing touchdowns at a similar per touch rate.

Thanks.
Bills fans have turned obnoxious. They were destroying Cook and Allen earlier this year until they fired Dorsey and turned it on.
And a below average safety who had 2 good games last year.
Some fans here really accepted mediocrity. Losing losing players is a good thing. This is what a start of a successful rebuild looks like.
Id rather have Singletary at the lower cost than Barkley at the higher cost though.
