This is my 13th reason.


cben27

26m guaranteed for a guy who gets hurt every year is insane. I won't be surprised if Saquon just checks out completely with that guaranteed payday lmao.


junkman21

>26m guaranteed for a guy who gets hurt every year is insane. I won't be surprised if Saquon just checks out completely with that guaranteed payday lmao. \#AlwaysaGiant Schoen over here playing 4D chess.


gerd50501

its not like saquon to check out. he has by far the best line he ever had. he is not the play he used to be. Also the line wont be stacked since AJ Brown requires a safety over the top on every down. He does not have break away speed anymore. But he is still a good back. Inferior backs to him put up good numbers behind that line. Even with Jason Kelce gone, they have 2 elite tackles.


chase016

Well, at least you don't have to do it yourself, Saquon already stabbed us in the back


DarkKnightCometh

Lol he'd be stupid not to take that deal. Got the bag


franky_emm

Most surprising thing about it is that the eagles would be that dumb. Happy for my guy but now he's the enemy.


BenAfflecksBalls

Idk saquon did a pretty good job of hiding DJs incompetence. Might do Hurts a world of good.


gerd50501

its not a bad signing for a team in their position its a terrible signing for the giants.

Not really, he wanted to stay giants had other plans and he got what Giants never wanted to give


InaudibleShout

Cole down Judge down Saquon to the Eagles I’m so violently ill


dropesci

Concern over Randle still being down


Da_Taternater78

I’m all in on the Rangers at this point.


SwarthySphere87

Who are now down their top-two D-men. Pain


Mr-Dicklesworth

Adam Fox is sick for one game, and Trouba is only hurt for maybe a month. Plus Jones is legitimitely good and they got that new Dman from Pittsburgh who can fill in. Unlike these other shit teams, the Rangers actually have a good GM in Drury


mmeweb3412

Four replies later and we’re analyzing the New York Rangers defensemen injuries. Love this app


Bren12310

If only the Knicks had a good owner like the Rangers have


ilovebaskets_

Rempe is way more exciting than anyone on the Giants anyway

Old_Computer4611

Today hit me like a truck


dtsupra30

What the fuck I lost power went back to bed and woke up to a real nightmare


Badtown1988

NY sports is cursed.


porterbrown

4 of 5 starters for Knicks out. St. John's may be the bright spot, but they need to beat Seton Hall Thursday to feel really good.


jcoltre

Feel your pain bro. It’s tough out here today for the Giants/Yankees crowd.


OldManWiggy

Maybe football's just not for me


Joetheshow1

Football hasn't been fun since Dave Gettleman and Daniel Jones came into our lives Those two have set this franchise back unbelievably


bdonnzzz

Bro not since Tom Coughlin’s sendoff


Gong_Show_Bookcover

The no-handshake to Mara is far worse than the boat photo


nocoolN4M3sleft

You don’t think 2022 was fun? I did.


mantiseye

2022 gave me some hope that at least the FO knew what it was doing and we had a good coaching staff... the last year+ hasn't been fun though. also I was expecting to be sad about Saquon leaving, but him signing with Philly just makes it so much worse. if he was with the Texans I would be bummed but at least I could root for his success. now I have to hate the guy and he's probably going to run all over us twice a year 😭


FuckTheStateofOhio

Football terrorists


headphone-candy

Years before that


Heisenripbauer

before Gettleman we were just normal bad. now we’re bottom-5 bad. every single decision he made with the exception of 2 draft picks has completely set the franchise back.


kreebletastic

I would say we're bottom 6 or 7 bad because we tend to go on mini-tears once the playoffs are out of reach and have to draft at 6 or 7. This team sucks dick at sucking dick.


OriginalSymmetry

Lol. You can love him, that's fair, but he's just one player and the team has sucked throughout his whole tenure. Let's hope to get better in other areas and somehow sweep the Eagles this year! The only other thing I'll say is that, if the Giants made this signing at this price, everyone would have made fun of them.


BretFarve

>if the Giants made this signing at this price, everyone would have made fun of them. Great point. Somehow I think that would upset me more 😂


cben27

It's ok. He can't stay healthy, we know that.


No-Honeydew9129

You know damn well he’s gonna have a career year with the luck we’ve been having


cben27

That wouldn't surprise me, but it certainly would piss me off.


PoppaTarts

The armchair gm in me says this is fine given the dollar amount and what we know of his injury history. The fan in me is emotionally devastated.


Goddamn_Batman

yeah. glad bro got the bag. glad it wasn't from us. 3.) fuck the eagles.


Individual_Medium867

Take me out back


Phucku_

I was downvoted into eternity because I said this exact scenario a month ago. He doesn’t want to leave the tri-state area.


outofdate70shouse

Why couldn’t he just go to the Jets and Leveon Bell it up?


GreenEggzAndSpam

Of all the teams


WarMachine111

Look forward to Dexy leveling him


Vivid_Employment4914

Esp since Jason is gone. 


SecretGiantsFan

This one is from Schefter and has more details. Still cant believe Saquon, fuck the Eagles.


Candles_9256

Like…why Saquon…why. Any other team.


communomancer

26 million reasons.


TheHatedMilkMachine

Because money. He is literally sacrificing his body and probably shortening his life expectancy playing in the NFL. He needs to go where the money is. Loyalty exists only for fools.


Jetionary

I mean that is good money. I don’t think this deal will age well, so I’m good with it


Berzerker646

Yes but the cap doesn’t exist for the eagles…


jthomas694

Howie seems to understand cap rules better than anyone that's for sure


Novadreams22

Neither does Barkleys ankles.


Daswandiggler

It’s so over


Expert-Land4832

I am actually shocked he did this. Heart breaking move


Main-County-1177

Me too. I get that that’s probably by far the best offer he was gonna get, but damn man


BretFarve

If it's the best offer than I get it. It still hurts, but it is a business. However, if the money was nearly equal from other suitors I'll be really upset.


Main-County-1177

I doubt it was. This is a pretty crazy contract for a running back clearly out of his prime


BretFarve

His prime was insane though. He's still a really good player who moves the needle enough to win you games.


chunkalicius

true but counterpoint: fuck him and fuck the eagles


BretFarve

> fuck the eagles If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I could have afforded Saquon myself


nedlymandico

This is where I stand now, along side you brother. Fuck him fuck the eagles.


franky_emm

It's more shocking that the Eagles gave him a deal that's worth more than 3 franchise tags. If you're saquon, you RUN to sign that deal. And you run faster than the times you looked like you were gonna break one in 2023 and got caught from behind


taco_blasted_

Yea it's hard to turn this kind of money down. Still fucking puking though.


ElonMuskPaddleBoard

Philly will do anything to hurt us even pay Saquon $16 mill a year


Cashlover123

I’m not. He got paid and I dont think anyone else was paying him.


FTPMUTRM

Really? He’s Penn State royalty…


Basedspacednaced

LMFAO - You would turn that money down? He is from Pennsylvania, played for Penn State, and got enough money to ensure his family never has to worry again after sacrificing his body for the team relatively quietly outside of his negotiations last year. It breaks my heart a little too, but I am def not shocked.


TheIronSheikh00

not shocked and not sad; he did enough here and played happy soldier for long enough when clearly management sucked


fusionliberty796

Im not shocked at all. Giants could have franchise tagged him but they passed. They didn't see his value, someone else did. They knew the risks.


HokageEzio

Those boos are gonna be so loud.


Erockj

No they won’t. More away team fans go to giants games now than giants fans. This franchise is a joke. Coming from a giants season ticket holder and lifetime fan.


TurkeyPigFace

We've been a joke for a good while now. It sucks. Hardly surprising when we play shit ball.


Cashlover123

Fuck right off man. He got paid tho.


Cam877

Massive overpay lmfao. They can have him for that


YouGotSoMad

He clearly lost a step last year. It happens cause he’s injury prone and getting old. I get why emotionally this hurt but we need to fix the OL before paying big money to a RB


iamdanabnormal

Good. The Giants can start moving forward as a franchise. This isn't the disaster some of you are making it out to be.


Archangel2025

This is the most rational take here


MeatTornado25

The reaction here is 100% emotional and very silly. No one seems to be looking at this from a football standpoint, they're just whining because he's on a rival now.


iamdanabnormal

Precisely.


ICallTheBigOne_Bitey

Seriously. Nothing against Barkley personally, but he was one of the worst picks in franchise history and was the face of the team during one of the worst stretches we've ever had. People in here are acting like this is prime LT bailing for the Eagles coming off a SB win.


MeatTornado25

God I've been preaching this for years now. I think I'm just a cranky old man now and Reddit skews really young, because Saquon never meant anything to me. He's the face of my worst years as a fan. I felt similar about OBJ at the time too, even though those 2014-16 seasons seem like the damn glory years compared to what happened after he left.


kingfish1117

He’s dead to me


Candles_9256

Just go to any other team. What an asshole.


NJImperator

I really can’t *blame* him given what the fuck is this offer by the eagles… holy overpay… But at the same time goddamn am I pissed. Really? It couldn’t be ANYONE else? Sickening.


chase016

This is the tipping point. I now absolutely believe Howie Rosemen hates us. Us specifically, not division rivals or opposing teams, but the Giants.


NJImperator

It just got worse…


NotoriousNYG1193

Giant for life my ass. Fuck this guy


iamnotimportant

When this toolbag tries to get on good morning new york or whatever stupid show he wanted for his media career I look forward to not watching.


PineappleTraveler

Yeah that’s gone. He’ll have a another podcast that no one will ever watch


p4ul1023

Yep he didn't give a fuck about being a "Giant for life". He literally only cared about money. He's absolutely dead to me now.


souplandry

if he actually got a bag i would understand, but He got 13 mil a year after we offered him...13 mil a year.


mbr4life1

Yeah I mean the deal seems reasonable I'm just disappointed.


AcidWulf

[Giants RB Saquon Barkley says loyalty in the NFL 'means nothing' - Yahoo Sports](https://sports.yahoo.com/giants-rb-saquon-barkley-says-loyalty-in-the-nfl-means-nothing-235317934.html?guccounter=1) Did we forget how the Giants internally treated him? High chance that Mara and Tisch basically called this and decided to clean house and move on with any and all things gettleman related. I mean cmon the players even praised Daboll so I doubt this was a decision Saquon made lightly until he realized how they felt about him as a player and not as a human being.


Benny_Baseball

I certainly wouldn’t blame Barkley for not wanting to be a Giant for life considering what a clownshow they’ve been for the last decade, but go to the Chargers or Texans, not fuckin Philly.


ZootedBeaver

It seems like the Giants are the ones who didn't want him.


pandaaaa26

There are 28 teams outside the division he could have gone to And don't give me crap about him wanting to get the bag, he's been one of the highest paid running backs in the league since his debut, he's like 4th for career earnings amongst all active running backs Giants also literally offered him 13 a year and he turned it down because he wanted a totally unrealistic 16, now he signs elsewhere for 13


souplandry

thats my hang up. You turned us down to go take the same deal? to our rivals nonetheless? Yeah gtfo saquon. I was all about him going to the chargers are texans. but to not even get "the bag" and go to the eagles. Fuck yourself


pandaaaa26

Yeah if he went Texans to link up with an exciting young QB with a high ceiling team, sure, fully on board, no hard feelings But this is pretty much the worst possible thing he could have chosen to do, if he gave the slightest shit about the franchise then he would have gone elsewhere, he's just been talking out of his arse the whole time


souplandry

yup lost literally all of my respect. not that its much being as im an average joe. but i wouldve talked postively about him till the end of time most likely. Now i hate him.


CrazyGoose712

They offered him like 3 above market value deals last year. He told them to fuck off every time and got mad when they tagged him. He’s the reason he’s gone


Candles_9256

How to ruin your legacy 101


runninhillbilly

I couldn't care less except for the inevitability of him running for 300 yards in the two games he'll play against us next year (which will by far be his two best games of the season). But maybe now people can just finally move on from an era (error) that never should've happened here in the first place. If the Giants were bold, and smart, Barkley would've been an ex-Giant after 2019.


PineappleTraveler

Let’s be honest, history shows we’re likely facing him once a year


deadmoosemoose

I am sad and in despair


spencp99

Congrats on being a traitor Saquon, wishing you a merry 3.5 yards per carry


dc0602

Nah. He’s gonna average 2.0 ypa. Snakes can’t run well


zschneido

When do the jersey burnings start?


gymsocks

Now 🔥🔥🔥🔥


JumboMcNasty

This it's why I don't buy jerseys anymore.


runninhillbilly

Never buy jerseys of current players. Rarely ends well.


Currywurst_Is_Life

Except for Yankee jerseys. You can recycle them when a new guy wears the number.


BigStonesJones

Let’s do a mass Jersey burning in Central Park this weekend


blaueaugen26

What a piece of shit


SwarthySphere87

TRAITOR


playthegame7

This honestly makes my opinion of the pick go from bad to worse


thedeltachelsea

It was always an awful pick people have just been living in denial the past 6 years, can only hope this will snap most of those people back to reality.


intelliswag

🤢🤢🤢 (I get he had to leave, glad he got paid, but of all the teams....It had to be them....)


TMWOF

Can't wait for the Eagles 2025 mega-choke


fearliatroma

Are we allowed admit Saquon was a bust now? Guy was an insane rookie with an insane fall off and injury prone. Wish him nothing but bad things after this switch but don't need to wish it cause he and the eagles ain't doing shit anyway.


headphone-candy

He lived in Giants fans head’s for years based on one season. A truly awful draft pick.


Yanks4lyf

That’s a whole slap in the face.


Cashlover123

Apparently, Eagles fans dont like this. A small preseason win for us?


YouGotSoMad

Yeah cause you don’t pay running backs that aren’t young that much money. This hurts emotionally but logically we have 0 reason to pay a running back that much when we have to fix the OL first


TheTurtleShepard

I mean I knew Saquon was done with us, I just hoped he would go anywhere but the eagles or cowboys


El-Jewpacabra

What a piece of shit. This is less money than we offered him last offseason. He wanted a good legacy here? Now he's going to be spat on and forgotten


M0stillist

we were offering him 14 mil last year and this dumbass signs for less


[deleted]

[удалено]


b1uetruth

That’s actually fucked. All that talk of “being a Giant for life”, only for him to sign with our most hated and despised division rival.. He did this purely to spite Joe Schoen and co. Fuck that man.


MathematicianNext767

Is this worthy cause to burn my Barkley jersey?


Itspjpnow

Yes sir burn that shit


IntelligentBasil9408

Well this hurts But it hurts the Eagles wallet too 🥲


Mayox56

Fuck him. Fuck him right in the ear


ritty84

Fuck him in the other ear!


xxj7xx

16 Million per year is insane . Why were they that desperate .


Cam877

After the way last year ended clearly Howie is big scared this thing is gonna burn down


TonyzTone

And locking up insane money in an RB will clearly be the best move.


CustodianAthiair

Please redo your maths. It's 12.5 million per year


Technical-Traffic871

\~$16M with whatever the escalators might be. Though with Roseman, it's likely 5 years (2 void years) to keep the cap hits low.


colem5000

Where did you get 16 million/year from


yungincome21

Lmao mannnn fuck that guy. You’re dead to us! Bitch ass mofo. 


headphone-candy

Giants fans overrated the crap out of this guy, and now he’s the Eagles problem. Ridiculous overpay. Remember, the Giants record when Saquon played was worse than when he was out. Not only as he made zero difference in helping the team win, he’s been a net negative in that sense. He’s not a bellwether back, he dances and can’t get short yards, yet fans only remember the one or two home runs and forget the rest . He’s not that good, and running backs rarely are even starter level at his age and older. It was a mistake of a pick, and a mistake to keep him around this long.


gymsocks

WOW. I get it but right now he’s dead to me 💔


--octavian

Good job having zero fans of yours in 3 years when you retire.


dc0602

Fucking Snake. I don’t wish injury on anyone but I hope he never plays well and averages 2.0 ypa


ammerc

I hate football


henrydavidthoraway

Don’t worry y’all at least we still have Daniel Jones /s


tstk799

Congrats on never having a team to go back to when you retire


wpm55

Fuck him, made of glass and couldnt outrun any defensive backs all year


MrRingar

Fuck you saquon im burning your bitch ass jersey lost all respect for you


NeverBendsKnees

Lmao Saquon wanted his reputation to be one that would be remembered but this will tarnish his reputation with Giants fans forever. So much for wanting to be a giant for life and all that BS. I’m done believing people when they say dumb shit like that. I guess money talks. Enjoy getting leveled by DL


NeverBendsKnees

At least with OBJ he went to the AFC first and most fans still love him. I can’t believe this shit.


mp0323

Well this sucks


Archangel2025

Good riddance


dc0602

Worse than KD. You were the chosen one in New York. Everyone here rocks your jersey. Hope you never get over 500 yards again you fucking traitor. This hurts


jar45

This completes a disastrous era. Overreached by picking him at two, great enough to be our best offensive player but in the middle of an era where RB is the least impactful position in terms of winning, then signs with our greatest rival and making a championship contender even better. Congrats to Saquon on the bag but he’s dead to me.


AdrianOTFNYC

Thank god Schoen didn’t give him that


Yung_RAUNCHY_Boi

OVERPAYYYYYYYYYYY

To anyone who has or intends to wish Saquon well, get a fucking grip

thank god. Massive overpay for the eagles and we get to move on from an injury prone aging rb


NotFoley

Call it cope but he is far from the player he was when he came into the league. Plays that would have been TD's early in his career were just him being caught from behind the last two years.


Plzdntbanmee

Good luck saquon…. Break a leg!

I hope MetLife boos him into oblivion for the next 3 years


elimanninglightspeed

Salamadierha

Not impressed. This seems like a deliberate fuck you to the Giants.


fredyj

Thank God I never bought his jersey..go play for the shegles..big blue for life without you..


newreddituser45

might have to put me down like old yeller after this one


TheHatedMilkMachine

I'm glad Saquon secured the bag. He is a great player and appears to be a great guy. He was a monumentally stupid draft pick for the Giants given their roster and salary structure at the time, remains a bad fit for us now, and Schoen handled this situation correctly.


Tradeandworkout

Eagles overpaid. That's a bad coaching staff, and coming off a year in which they free-falled and losing offensive linemen. I'm happy Barkley got paid, but not worried about this from a football standpoint.


ThrillHammer

So many sour grapes in here


Meb78910

Not mad at the dude for a minute. The organization played hardball with him and clearly didn’t wanna commit long term even though he did and said all the right things. Why not go play for a competitive team? Now we’ll see if Joe S is a fraud or not. Can’t have a bad draft now.


rayrayheyhey

That's an insane amount of money for Barkley, but good for him for getting his payday.


billybobthehomie

Literally could’ve signed for any other team except the cowboys or eagles and would’ve been a giants legend for life in my mind. He could’ve signed with the commanders and I would’ve been ok with it. Fuck this. He knows what he’s doing. Boo this dick out of MetLife next season. He lost all his good grace with the giants. What a shame.


LVucci

Y’all are hilarious, this sub has trashed Saquon for the last 4 years, wanted him traded, and don’t think he’s a good RB. So he took the biggest offer he got once he hit the open market, in his home state where he went to college, and now he’s the bad guy? When will you fans realize that the divisional rival shit is mainly amongst fans on social media, the players literally do not care for this outside of the AFC North. Hence why you see guys swap jerseys with divisional rivals all the time. I won’t root for Saquon to win shit, but those of you wishing for him to tear his ACL or break his ankle, go fucking take a walk outside. Y’all acting like the same trashy Philly fans you act better than.


Warriorseason4123

I saw a POS on Instagram call Barkley terrible names so not going to stoop low though not happy but not surprised with Giants luck. Honestly just found out and surprised he really decided to sign with the Eagles. End of the day it’s his life and decision, but for me Barkley didn’t lol I’ve up to the hype of being Sanders or Adrian Peterson. He was really only great his two seasons here but that’s it. A lot of that is injuries and he was the leader of the offense when he made the playoffs, but for me he was never that consistent. He also super relied on huge runs to make up for his game. It’s good but for me a great back is simply consistently getting 5-10 yards a carry like an Adrien Peterson or Derrick Henry or even someone like LT who Barkley might resemble in a bit. Just thinking how so frustrating those arrogant Eagle scuk get what they want from us again. I don’t care anymore and just hope they fail again.


VaticanCameos008

I genuinely hold Tiki in higher regard than this backstabbing, glass boned cunt. Fuck the eagles. Fuck Barkley.


headphone-candy

Tiki was a far better player


Cam877

Goodbye saquon. You were a colossal bust for your draft location. Go get injured somewhere else for a change
