Another drama queen that says he's all about the team but isn't.  
robbieballs2003 : 2/25/2024 11:33 am : link
He has a really short memory of how the Giants stood by him when he fucked the team over with his ATV accident. The Giants could have went after his money but didn't.

This guy is… interesting  
Dave in PA : 2/25/2024 11:40 am : link
let him go be appreciated elsewhere
 
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 2/25/2024 11:43 am : link
Maybe he tried out a new bar for the first time last night and he’s longing for his usual watering hole where they buy him back rounds?
Buh

To sign a couple of free agent guards.
It's been pretty obvious since late last season  
Gruber : 2/25/2024 12:07 pm : link
that McKinney will go to the highest bidder.
And once he signs, he'll come out with some BS about how it wasn't about the money.
They've lost with him  
Sean : 2/25/2024 12:10 pm : link
They can lose without him. This guy seems like trouble.
I love player tweet threads

God forbid he walks

like Xavier needs a hug.

He'd never be on a Bill Parcells team. Too emotionally soft.

But that's the NFL today.
Never go where you are tolerated

Only go where the money is highest.

So much for once a Giant always a Giant

is this putz smashed his hand in the middle of a playoff season doing something he was contractually prohibited from doing. And the team stood by him when everyone was calling for his head.
Not exact  
Sammo85 : 2/25/2024 12:38 pm : link
But a good hint early parameters of what he sees his value as and what Giants do aren’t close to the ballpark.

perhaps it is because I want him to stay but..  
AROCK1000 : 2/25/2024 12:40 pm : link

I’d be fine letting him walk  
Mike from Ohio : 2/25/2024 12:51 pm : link
He is a good player, but between the ATV accident and these emo tweets, he doesn’t feel like a guy you build a winning culture around.

Give him a team-friendly offer and if he turns it down get his facility pass and wish him well.
He’s a good player  
M.S. : 2/25/2024 12:57 pm : link

Giants will get a 3rd around comp.

Next.

Only if they don't sign someone of similar value.
Do not want this type of person on the team  
kelsto811 : 2/25/2024 1:08 pm : link
The cryptic tweets via social media that obviously are related to his situation, would rather a person who keeps it in-house.

Unbelievable.

Xavier can go elsewhere as far as I’m concerned.
We need o line help more than safety help

Disease of Me  
Sean : 2/25/2024 1:19 pm : link
Everyone wants to get paid. Where is the winning? The first playoff win in a decade which was followed by a 38-7 loss to a division rival. Since then:

-Jones paid
-Lawrence paid
-Thomas paid
-Barkley wants to be paid long term
-McKinney wants to be paid long term

I do think Lawrence & Thomas can be pillars on a winning team. McKinney I have a lot of concerns. I didn't like how he criticized both Judge and Martindale publicly and now he's noisy on twitter. Not to mention the ATV accident.
Maybe this message was meant for DJ.

He's a very good young player - and seems to be a leader

These are the guys we need to keep. Can't just let everyone go because they deserve more money
That tweet makes him sound like a pussy, tbh.

Not surprising in the least, either.

Go ride another ATV, dipshit.

And instead of being apologetic, he refused to own up to it and refused to answer questions about it. Fucking asshole.
This seems like a nothingburger

A leader? Are you kidding me? He comes off as the exact opposite.

mpinmaine : 2/25/2024 1:51 pm : link
Middle finger to the Giants.
He is a guy I wanted back but now I don't care either way.
OBJ and Toney Jr if you ask me,
Next thing he will sign and shortly later say more shit about NYG and or try to get a trade forced or something like this..
Thse guys are making me sick all over the nfl.

Our offer should be this..nothing.

Indeed, the entire country is like this (or at least these generations)... Soft as a Mr Softie cone on an August afternoon in NYC
ya'll read way too much into Social Media thoughts  
blueblood : 2/25/2024 1:58 pm : link
1) you have zero idea what he is talking about. Could be football related. Might not be.

2) Players are smart and work fans to create narratives and add pressure onto teams as much as teams do..

3) Negotiations can get tough. Player says Im worth this much and why. Team says well your worth this much because of this... This issue.. what we see you dont do.. Player says Im worth as much as this guy.. team says.. oh yeah well that guy got 8 ints.. how may did you get??? that player had 100 tackles.. how many did you have ?

That can make someone feel unappreciated...

Remember when Strahan and then Osi were out the door and not coming back?

Can you imagine what that would have been like if Social Media was a thing then,, yeeesh

I kind of agree with you. But the need for these guys to say absolutely whatever is on their minds in an incomprehensible manner is just begging to be ridiculed.

Hell people seem to use this place to do the same thing except its always about the same topic.

JPP did they same thing. Short memories on these players. Giants are a good organization.

JPP was a great player but he went through the same shit with the fans and public perception. McKinney is making a habit of it now.

AcidTest : 2/25/2024 2:26 pm : link
like to resign him, but think we'll be outbid by someone who pays him crazy money.

I do agree he should be less talkative and more appreciative of the fact that as Eric said the Giants stood by him after he did something he was contractually prohibited from doing.

I think we can survive without him.

I don't think you understand what a leader is....
Actually there is a lot  
jvm52106 : 2/25/2024 2:34 pm : link
There in that message. It's actually two completely different tracts- one is basically saying the Giants tolerate his behavior and the other says he wants to be appreciated.

So in essence he wants a team to accept his (crap), whatever that crap is period and to just be appreciative of his presence.

I say you talk a lot for a guy who hasn't been a leader of s shut down defense or winning organization. In fact you have been part of losing a lot a d in your one winning season you go and fuck yourself up while on a break..

Yeah, no big loss here. We can get a young cheap safety while filling actually areas of true need..

Because he has clearly stated numerous times about how he values himself and what he wants. Yes, you can look at this one tweet and argue it didn't mean anything. However, when you look at the big picture, you know what he is saying.
I think many here are missing  
Dave on the UWS : 2/25/2024 2:46 pm : link
the point. He’s started “negotiating” via social media. Schoen was not fond of that last year when Barkley made some comments.
As Eric pointed out, when this schmuck violated his contract and virtually ended his career at the bye last year, the organization stood bye him. He’s completely ignoring that fact and treating them with disrespect. (I.e. show me the money or else).
He would be an asset on the field, but if he’s going to be a “dick” screw him.
You did build a long term culture with attitudes like this.
