Did the New York Giants accurately value Saquon Barkley in their plan for building the roster for 2024?
That’s one of the major questions that has hung over the Giants since the end of the 2023 season.
GM Joe Schoen acknowledged on the first episode of ‘Hard Knocks’ that running back was a need for the team with Barkley entering free agency. But he added that it was pushed down in importance with the additional needs of pass rusher, wide receiver, and cornerback.
Schoen also stated his belief that no other teams in the NFL would value Barkley enough to trade for him and also sign him to the contract he wanted.
