Saquon vs. Pollard

.

Wouldn't agree.

No and No! He's done. Stick a fork in him.

but how do you know if he will be available? Cowboys may want to keep him. Agree on SB though. If JS was smart enough to decline DJ’s 5th year he is not going to put out big money for SB IMHO

thats what I think too. either way not good to invest too much money at RB. rather spend that money on the best interior olinemen

Are they cutting Zeke and taking an $11 million dead cap hit?

But I think the right move is to bring him back- and I’d be fine with 16-17mil a year.

This offense runs through #26- but it’s clear they are a bit too reliant on him. And defenses know that- they are keying on the run game and flying downhill. A lot harder to run the ball when the defense doesn’t have to worry about getting beat through the air.

#1 priority this off-season has to be addressing the WR position. Open things up for #26.

I’d also target a RB in R3/4. They need a guy who can take pressure off Saquon- 31 carries vs Chicago, 35 vs Houston…that’s far too many. But the drop off from Saquon to Breida/Brightwell is too significant. They need a guy like Pollard was for Elliott his first few years- or Hunt for Chubb, etc.

As great as Saquon is (I still think he is), the NFL is a 2 RB league. If they can get him closer to 17-18 carries per game and 60- 65% of snaps, he’ll be a much more effective runner and his burst will be more consistent

The guy hit 21mph on a run vs Houston- trust me it’s still there.

Good post

The point is, you don't committ high picks and large contracts to that position.

Draft a late round RB every year and hope one surprises. That is the ticket.

All the responses are the same. Unless you guys are going to actually define what “big contract” equates to in actual dollars then what’s the point?

Saying you’d never sign a RB to a second contract is group think and provides nothing to discuss. It also completely ignores how cheap the position is now.

The Giants should he talking to Barkley about an extension and A
Schoen should have a threshold he doesn’t go over. I don’t want a GM that says no to something without even exploring options.

Do you not remember saqouns rookie year? Pre ACL he was the most exciting rb the league has seen since BS. I think the pick was the right play. But he looks toast right now - sucks to see.

Saquon to a higher paid contract.

But he is a good example of the RB supply the exists and is available in the pros and college. And that's the reason.

be a less expensive option I would think? I'm thinking the draft we can address this issue, no way in hell would I invest a lot of money in Barkley. 10 Mil a year for 3 years is the max amount.
