I am not mad at this move. Saquon wanted his money, and we need to rebuild. Saquon is a luxury piece that is meant for teams competing right now. We are building to compete later.

[aneesabashir]

Nuanced take from Rich. Didn't expect anything else. Wish we had more like him in sports media

[gmen]

It was best for both saquon and the giants to part ways. The giants are not a running back away and im glad we are finally putting our resources into the trenches.

There is no real Giants fan that thought it would be a good idea to re-sign him at the money he wanted. There is no Giants fan, who grew up spoonfed Parcells and Belichick decades before their principles became championship norms, that considers a day where you net 2 OL and a pass rusher a bad day.

Sucks as a Giants fan but it makes sense for Saquon, the Giants, and the Eagles.

Saquon gets his money and will compete for a title for realistically the first time in his career.

That contract would have made the Giants worse than they have been. If the Giants spend wisely with that money saved it ultimately helps them. We're hoping they build a good roster now

The Eagles year in and year out are SB contenders, a player or two away. Saquon gets them closer, that contract makes sense for a team that is 5 guys off, not a team that has 5 guys

Yes. It will absolutely sting when he goes for 220 and 2 TDs against the Giants and then hoists a Lombardi. But regardless, Giants still have to worry about the Giants and build a respectable roster

[tobiaswinter]

It's the front office fault, not Saquon's!

[jerseyboy]

Good business decision on his part. We let him down. Good luck young man.

[RobHunziger]

It was best for both parties. Giants got 2 OL and elite pass rusher. Plus a back that will do 75 percent of what saquan did. Saquan is on a team now where he can shine.

[JeepinJLU]

@richeisen, Thank you for always setting the record straight. I appreciate you and your show.

[eddie]

Who's upset? Not me. I am happy for Saquon, he deserves every penny. Glad he's going home to Pennsylvania too. Our GM is making smart moves; fortifying the trenches on both sides of the ball. I am more bummed we lost Xavier McKinney. Glad he collected his bag too though.

[BrianJPB]

Why do people in the media completely not understand fandom. I love barkley but he went to our arch rival. So yes, he is dead to us... I can't wish him the best, its not like he went to the Texans... Wishing him great success is actively hoping for your own teams failure.

[joe-edward]

Rich, if you ever lose it in media, you got a BRIGHT future in Union Leadership. The Teamsters need you!

[careyw]

The whole point is not that he left. But who he went to. Not like wrestling when rival get along for a moment . Not probably for the remainder of the career. 💯

[bwill]

Bro giants were never good with Barkley..this fake love is ridiculous.

[TheJuice]

Rich pulled the "git good" at the end lol.

[manservantchris]

It's not personal, it's just business.

[karlrohde]

As a Giants fan, I want Saquon to succeed. I hope he wins a Superbowl with his third team.

[robertciabattoni]

Saquon is from Allentown PA just outside of Philly & he went to Penn State. He got the got the best contract of his life, gets to go home & to one the best O-lines in the game. It was just common sense 🤷🏻‍♂️🦅

[patrickkirkham]

For all the Giants fans that are trying to crap on Saquon for not staying with their team….
You should all look back to when your team gave all of you season ticket holders a MEDIUM fountain drink to show their appreciation of the fans…. I’m guessing that they treat the players accordingly and Saquon deserves to get paid

[rickastley]

The idea that the Panthers fans are more on board with the moves than Giants fans is insane. Most Giants fans aren’t thrilled he went to Philly but would’ve been losing their minds if they resigned him at that price.
