Itās been a while since the New York Giants were a truly competitive team. Despite playing in one of the NFLās least competitive divisions, they havenāt even made the playoffs since 2016 and havenāt won a playoff game since 2011.
The Giants are hoping to put those woes behind him with the Brian Daboll era. But that also means that GM Joe Schoen will need to do plenty of roster moves, some of which may not be welcomed by the fanbase.
For starters, thereās a strong chance that the Giants will need to part ways with Saquon Barkley, whoās entering the fifth year of his rookie contract and has north of $7 million guaranteed.
NFL Rumors: Giants GMJoe Schoen Doesnāt Rule Out Trading Saquon Barkley
āWeāre still working through that, but Iām open to everything,ā Schoen said, per ESPN. āLike whether itās trading player for player; Iāll listen to anybody. If itās trading a couple players ā Iām not going to say the entire roster, [that] weāre open for business on the entire roster. But if anyone is going to call and theyāre interested in any of our players. Iām certainly going to listen.ā
āAgain, weāre in a situation where unfortunately we have to get under the salary cap,ā Schoen added. āWeāre not in very good salary-cap health. Again, Iām not going to say yes to every deal, but Iām definitely going to listen and be open to the situations that are best for the New York Giants.ā
Barkley has been one of the few game-changing running backs in the NFL since entering the league out of Penn State in 2018. Nonetheless, his injury proneness has raised big questions about his future. While undeniably the best player on their roster, Barkley is also likely their most valuable trade chip at the moment.
