The former NFL recipient, Brandon Marshall, says that the giants deserve criticism for Saquon Barkley

The New York Giants do not seem to escape criticism for letting the Ballon Saquon Barkley bearer go to a free agency to sign with their division rivals, the Eagles of Philadelphia, last season.

The criticism was even more amplified, because Barkley is in the middle of one of the best seasons by a bearer of recent memory. He led the league in the yards on the ground with 2,005 yards and marked 13 affected. He added 278 yards and two affected on 33 receptions.

The superb season of Barkley continued well in the playoffs. In three games, the 27 -year -old rushed to 442 yards and five affected, helping to lead Philadelphia to the Super Bowl.

Former NFL recipient Brandon Marshall, participated in five games for the Giants in 2017, joined these criticisms. He thinks that the Giants’ front office deserves each word of criticism it has received.

“This is what accompanies him,” said Marshall during an interview with Digital Fox News. “These are the big leagues. The Tisch family (and Mara) has been phenomenal for me. … I think they can kiss a little change and get a little over time in certain regions. But I am a big fan of the giants.

“That being said, that’s absolutely what comes with it.

The Giants selected Barkley with the second overall choice of NFL 2018 NFL draft. He spent six seasons in New York and ranks fourth in the yards on the ground of the franchise (5,211) and sixth of the precipitated touch (35).

The giants finished with a record of 25-48-1 with Barkley on the list. During the six years of Barkley in blue, the Front Office had trouble building the list, in particular the offensive line, around him. The team had only one winning season (2022) and an appearance in the playoffs during their stay with the team.

“Unfortunately, they were unable to surround SAQUON with the right offensive line, with the right coordinators, with the right receivers,” said Marshall.

“You insert (head coach) Brian Daboll, whom I like to death, but it was far too late. Then, the whole market around the Back carrier look at the position of ball carrier, how we have to watch the game of race. “

The director general of the Giants, Joe Schoen, finally decided to let Barkley walk in a free agency, not wanting to spend more than $ 12 million to keep him on the list despite the insistence of Barkley to what he wanted to be a giant for life.

The Eagles and Barkley have agreed with a $ 37.75 million contract over three years, with 26 million dollars guaranteed, $ 1 million more than the last offer that the Giants presented to Barkley when they tried to sign it during the 2023 offseason.

The giants, on the other hand, allocated the money to upgrading the offensive line, signing goalkeeper Jon Runyan and the fight Jermaine Elumenor.

Elumenor has signed a $ 14 million contract over two years. Runyan is on a $ 30 million contract over three years.

Schoen also exchanged against Edge Brian Burns and extended his contract. The outdoor secondary now earns an average of $ 28.2 million a year.

During the first season of the Giants without Barkley, they finished with a 3-14 file. However, the racing game was one of the light points, with an average of 4.2 yards per race and 104.9 yards per match thanks to the emergence of the choice of fifth round Tyrone Jr.

Tracy finished third on the ground yards for a recruit (839) and the touchdown (5). The former college receiver also shone in the game of passes, recording 38 catches, 284 yards and a touchdown.
