Saquon Barkley. You already know what’s going to be talked about with him this offseason. Since being drafted by the NY Giants in 2018, Barkley’s become the face of the franchise.
He shared the spotlight in his rookie year with Odell Beckham Jr, but once the star receiver was shipped out of town, the Giants became Barkley’s team. Since then, Barkley’s Giants career has seen more lows than highs in terms of team success. In 2022, the Giants finally made the postseason and won their first playoff game in over a decade, a game which Barkley had two touchdowns in.
Saquon has always expressed his desire to be a Giant for eternity. He has made that very evident in multiple media appearances. Both parties have important decisions to make as they prepare for the second straight offseason of contract talks.
This week, there has been a lot of discussion about Barkley’s potential farewell to the Giants on Sunday. If this is the case, the Giants will be losing one of their best players as well as a significant member of the community. Countless children wear “Barkley” on the back of their jerseys, imitating his incredible spin routines in an attempt to resemble their hero.
His effect on the fan base will undoubtedly come up when talks with the Giants starLombardi Trophyt. Barkley hopes that his Giants legacy will be. First and foremost, of course, he wants to bring another into the building. But it’s important to acknowledge how much Barkley means to the Giants fanbase.
