The most controversial, and embarrassing, decision made by the New York Giants during the 2024 offseason was to let star running back Saquon Barkley test free agency — where he found an offer from the rival Philadelphia Eagles that he couldn’t refuse.
Barkley had a year that might have cemented him as the “gold jacket” player Dave Gettleman believed he drafted No. 2 overall in 2018. Barkley rushed for 2,005 yards - 101 short of breaking Eric Dickerson’s 40-year-old record, garnered MVP support and was the best player on an Eagles team that is still playing as we hit the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
