Brian Daboll said Saquon Barkley's contract situation is between Saquon and the organization, so he's going to reserve comment until that plays out.
Barkley has not signed the franchise tag, so he won't be here for voluntary OTAs.

First play of 7 on 7: Daniel Jones hits Darren Waller deep down right sideline for big gain over slot CB Darnay Holmes. This is what gets you excited about the Giants offense this season. Waller a different type of weapon than they’ve had. #giants
By definition anyone who gets cut is the 90th best player on our current roster. Do you really care about players 81-90?
I don't think there is an actual definition for the status of a player who gets cut. I could see them cutting a player from a really deep position group before they cut someone from a shallow group, even though the guy cut might be a better player. I just love the red herrings on this site. Did I say anywhere that I care about the players from 81-90?

Very encouraging to see Sterling Shepard take some walk-through reps with the team. Shep told me at the end of last season that he was ahead o schedule in his rehab from a torn ACL.
not messing around....JMS already the #1 center. Unusual to see that at in OTAs as usually coaches want players "to earn it."

I'm not surprised JMS is starting. In that video posted on twitter of the draft room, when Daboll was discussing Hyatt v JMS, he said (paraphrased) we either get the guy who starts at center or the guy who's fast.

BOBBY OKEREKE: I love Micah McFadden. I think he's a technician, great player, smart guy. Obviously Jarrad Davis is a great leader. And Darrian Beavers is a guy who has a lot of potential.
