We can rebuild him. The first bionic man. A little too old for me, but loved the reruns. As far as Barkley, hard pass. 1

Hasn’t anyone learned from AZ, Dallas, Jets, etc? You don’t pay a RB big money. You can get away with it while your QB is on a rookie deal, but you can’t spend big on a RB when you’ve got a top end WR, franchise QB, and OT’s to pay. If we give up a second for Barkley, and he comes here and had a big year, he will demand a big contract next year that we can’t afford, essentially making him a 1 year rental. If he doesn’t have a big year, well maybe he can sign for less, but that sounds like we wasted a second round pick then. Why not just draft someone in the first or second like who isn’t hurt and will be on a rookie deal for 4 years as well? Or sign one of the many good FA RBs where we get them without trading a 2nd and also won’t be a huge cap hit to have him here more than one year. 1

The Giants are debating on whether to pick up his 5th year option or not or whether to extend him to a long term deal. Would you guys inquire about him if you were Brandon Beane? Think a 2nd would get it done? you had me at "He's missed 17 games over 2 seasons".... 2
Playoffs? Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I’d give up a 2nd in a heartbeat for Saquon. It’s the paying him part that would make me pass.
Buffalo03 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I think it would take pick 30 to get Saquon at the very least plus another pick. Looking at spotrac, this is the last year of his rookie deal and it looks like his 5th year option is gonna be $7 million. This year in 2021 he has a $10 million cap hit which could be lowered by making more of his salary into a signing bonus. $7 million on his 5th year, is actually not bad. The Salary cap should be significantly higher the next few years although Allen will be taking up a lot of it. It's not too crazy to think about. I think I would wait to see what happens on draft day and how the board falls. If it falls a little out of favor, then I would call the Giants and see if Beane can work something out for pick 30. If not, then just trade down or take whoever we need to but I wouldn't give up pick 30 before draft day
US Egg Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I'm not wild about Saquon. Edited March 14, 2021 by I am the egg man

Putin Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Second overall pick on a RB when you needed a QB and was in a position get one , one was an MVP last year and the other one was a runner up this year !!
Jerboski Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 11 hours ago, BuffaloBills1998 said: Is his contract up? I thought he still had 1 more year Well as stupid of an offer as it sounds, he is coming off an ACL injury and from the looks of it the giants may be in rebuild mode, they don’t have a QB worth a damn on their roster and they don’t have much weapons on offense or defense. Maybe just Maybe Barkley might ask to be traded to a contender instead of wasting the prime of his career on a rebuilding franchise with no QB They aren’t trading him for a second... 1 1

Buffalo03 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 1300 yards, 11TDs and 91 receptions his rookie year. I would love a back like that on this team

Because of the rules. Like the Bills with Josh Allen, the Giants have to decide to use the 5th year option by May of this year. Edited March 14, 2021 by auburnbillsbacker 1
