EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants are missing Saquon Barkley more than just on the field during this miserable 3-13 season. It's in the locker room where some believe there may be the biggest void.
The Giants let Barkley walk as a free agent this offseason, much to owner John Mara's chagrin. All he did was become the ninth player in NFL history to top 2,000 yards rushing in a season, while doing it for the rival Philadelphia Eagles.
New York, meanwhile, had some leaders calling their effort "soft" by Week 12 and were unconvinced everybody was giving 100%.
