WBG84 @WBG84 "The headliner of the running back free agent class is New York Giants star Saquon Barkley, who has targeted the Texans as his top potential destination and has been communicating with Stroud, per league sources." - @AaronWilson_NFL #NYGiants #Texans |
More like this.
Bingo. Just have to hope we can reap as much in the Compensatory Pick formula to offset what we would have gotten for him in an in-season trade. Fat chance, though.
Yep. And we wouldn‘t have needed to trade up for our QB.
I get they don‘t want to piss players off but if he walks?
LOL at front office.
Talented? The Texans were 3-13-1 in 2022. Just shows you no team is that far, doesn't it?
You won’t be losing any sleep because — without Saquon Barkley — the Giants offense will be going into complete snooze mode. Sleep well.
"Saquon Barkley has said he does not want to be traded, and Brian Daboll attempted to squash trade overtures last week by saying a deal was “not happening.” But teams are still checking in. Clubs have continued to contact the Giants on Barkley, Jeff Howe of The Athletic tweets. Once again, the Giants rebuffed inquiries, with CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson confirming teams have received no’s on Barkley inquiries."

They filled the cupboards with their last draft.

Because the Giants didn’t want it to seem like they were raising the white flag on a fort which admittedly had already been breached on all four walls.

Not trading Barkley at the deadline - many times, actually - has been as idiotic as trading for LW when we were a losing team going nowhere.
I'm begging for Team Barkley to get out of town with a deal, so Schoen doesn't make another colossal mistake.
Daboll wasn't surviving if this team went into the tank even more after starting 2-8.
The moves made for 2023 in retrospect delayed it again.
The rebuild starts when Jones & Barkley have moved on.
Yes we can draft a player which I hope we do, but I still think a veteran is going to need to be signed.
Doesn't seem to matter to so many here. Addition by subtraction!
Except it is just subtraction.

There are tons of decent RBs in free agency. Same with guards.

If Daboll went to Schoen and Mara and said they might not win another game trading Barkley but can get a second and thtat's best for the team, why would that jeopardize his job?
The owner didn't fire DAVE GETTLEMAN despite it being obvious he sucked three months into his job. He could have some backbone on Daboll.

Maybe they felt the 3rd or 4th rounder coming back (if it was that) wasn't enough? And weren't the Giants mathematically alive for a playoff spot at the trade deadline? I guess that's not a factor.

passing on trading him after passing on extending him was moronic. there is a very tiny window for any kind of sensible outcome.
This team has reset shit so many times I lost count. The problem is all the picks they accrue don't amount to fuck all.

Daboll was not getting fired.
But at least we had Tommy Cutlets and Tyrod Taylor. We were definitely gonna win it all. Our OL was so awesome.

Because they still want him, believing they could and will build an O line to use him fully, AND, they hope they can make the money work.
Didn't need the reminder but thanks.
So I guess we don't care about the important questions like what was offered for Barkley...and whether a mid round pick is worth it. Sounds like they want to keep him here and value his 24 season more than the mid round pick. But who knows.
Seems pretty clear to me. They dumped Williams. They obviously were thinking long term at least on some level when they made that deal.
Maybe they didn't move Barkley because Mara forced them to keep him. Go ahead and say it lol.
Now, they have a good chance to get nothing. I've been on the "trade Saquon" bandwagon for since the trade deadline in 2022.
As posted above, the worst thing for the Giants was the fool's gold of 2022.
The worst thing to happen was Andrew Thomas and BArkley going down to injury at about the same time last year when the toughest part of the schedule was looming. They team wins the Bills and Jets game if those guys are playing. INstead they are 1-6 or whatever and the season was lost. 3-4 and we're alive. Granted, they probably still go 8-9.
Winning 10 games and a playoff game was good. It stopped a brutal run of bad seasons. It also bodes well for the future or at least indicates that this regime can get things done on some level.
Kill me for it I don't care. I like good seasons.

If they could have gotten a 3rd, I'd have been happy.
That is completely unrealistic. 2nd or 3rd rounder? The locker room would have fucking murdered you.

It's delayed the rebuild and caused the Giants to waste time and resources spent better elsewhere. So it was only a temporary high that may ultimately contribute to another regime change.
That's just nuts.
The team finished 6-11 and has the 6th pick in the draft.
You are saying you would rather have had Barkley for November and December rather than an extra pick this year. That's nuts.
That is completely unrealistic. 2nd or 3rd rounder? The locker room would have fucking murdered you.
It would have been a difficult sell, but Barkley's trade value was never higher than in October 2022. He had a stellar first half and then had a bad second half.
The Giants may have gotten a late 1st round pick for him in October 2022.
This isn't me saying this in hindsight. I said it at the time.

Maybe so. What other moves? They decided against drafting better players because they won in 22? The only move they made that comes back to possibly bite us is the DJ deal. Fine, you don't have to kick Jones around anymore and his end of days contract that keeps so many up at night.
News for you all ,if they sucked in 22, they'd still suck today and we wouldn't have at least enjoyed one good season.
Ill take the good season.

Fair enough. A first rounder, yes amazing but you aren't doing that if you're the GM/HC.
Why can't this team just draft better players and sign better players in FA and why are we blaming the good players here. So fucking tired of it. Blame the good ones. Never mind the bollocks.
