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


Identical? Barkley has 1k more receiving yards and 15+ more touchdowns…. That’s not identical production. It’s absolutely a downgrade at the position

fucking player we sign needs to be all-pro.. If you are upset we didn't mortgage the season on Barkley then you shouldn't be allowed in conversations about roster structure, depth etc..

Runyon was a good signing (great, amazing- probably not but solid to very good, yes). Singletary is a solid workman like back who will provide exactly what we need from a RB STABLE!

Gunner O was a nice re-signing.

Carter Coughlin solid ST'er.

Lots of player movement to come still. Many teams will need to shed salary before league year starts.

Thanks.



for ~ 40% of saquon's gtd numbers seems like this will end up being a good value.

But you have to think with the money they saved - they can sign another part to the OL. Or another safety.

He isn't as good, but he is pretty good for the amount we are paying. He hasn't had one bad year and stays healthy.

If we downgrade at RB and upgrade at OL, QB, and Wr - then it’s an amazing offseason.

I agree. Let’s see what else they do but people here acting like we didn’t downgrade at rb is laughable. We did. And as mentioned it’s okay. Need to boost OL

The only difference is Saquon has had more touches. Take out his rookie season as we know he isn't that player anymore. Look at the last 5 seasons (From Singletary rookie year) and look at it on a per touch basis.

Snorkels : 3/11/2024 4:36 pm : link
I have been wondering even before today if Daboll, Kafka and company want to move from what was an essentially a run first (and run second) offence with Saquon to a more pass first concept with a good solid back like Singletary who does enough to keep other teams off balance. Plus he's a good receiver. And Runyon is a better pass blocker than drive blocker. Not sure what that all means for the 6th pick - QB or WR - but something maybe to think about.

So Saquon is a lot better than Singletary right? Plus he has more touches than Singletary. So how are there yards from scrimmage almost identical?

I'm glad the Barkley era has come to an end. I really don't care what he does in Philly, except when they play us.

People posting things like "the management is rudderless," etc, reveal more about their own ignorance than say anything about the state of the Giants.

FF one year later and the same poster is destroying the NYG medical staff because that same player got hurt while being less effective right here in NY.

We should be just fine. All we did was get weaker on offense. No worries there. Philly should be worse am I right? Why didn't they sign Singletary for half of what SB got?

Andy in Halifax : 3/11/2024 4:51 pm : link
Not a bad start to FA imo. Would love another OL, get a cheap safety later. The splash signing should be a passrusher, if any. Then kick the draft's ass.

If two players have similar YPC, I'd prefer the player with less carries than more carries, thanks.

And RB receptions mean nothing when your QB can't throw the ball downfield.

DS will replace him but I don't think that's all of what the focus should be right now.

I think there's level of trust the Giants have with Eric Gray to be a major piece in this as well. It was mentioned repeatedly when ne was drafted last year how Giants could be pre-positioning themselves for a post SB era. I think we are seeing it now.

He’s not that good. The Bills have been desperate for a RB and didn’t think he was worth re-signing, opting to draft James Cook in the second round.
Devin Singletary

Is an ordinary running back which is OK because there are several BBI experts who say the Giants are changing from a run-first to a pass-first offense.

jvm52106 : 3/11/2024 5:14 pm : link
about Barkley.

He has been a good but NOT great player on a Bad team multiple times since 2018. His best season was 2018. He tore his knee up in 2020. 2021 he came back and was not fully back most of the year and (like every other year) was dinged by week 5.

2022 he was solid but faded in the second half and quite frankly was basically lightning and white lightning with him and Jones RUNNING most of the time..

2023 he was back to earth and dinged by week 5 again..

We are not losing an ascending player. He might have some gaudy stats with Philly but I somehow doubt that. He will get dinged, as he always does and he will be no better than Swift or any other back the Eagles have been playing lately..
