Their OL is also pretty putrid right?
I think it needs some improvement but Singletary had a significantly better YPC than Barkley last year, plus there are going to be so many more scoring opportunities playing with a high quality QB. If Saquon signs with Houston, he's a top 5 pick for fantasy IMO.
Maybe he likes NY?
I think the Giants will offer him the most money for a variety of reasons ranging from their desperate need for him and to appease the lockeroom with respect to taking care of their own and for Schoen to try and alleviate some of the heat he's taking in the locker room for being a hard *** in negotiations.
I didn't consider that as an option, but yeah, if the Giants do offer the most money I could see him staying at that point. But agree with ya that I'd like to see him elsewhere. Even if it's not an obvious upgrade over NY, I think it's time for a change before he hits his decline.
Honestly, pretty much anywhere would be an upgrade. Been a lot of talk about the Texans. If the money works, would love to see that. Passing game where defenses couldn’t cheat and a coach that wants to run the ball and be balanced.
The Chargers were also mentioned above because Ryan Leaf of all people said that Harbaugh loves him. With Greg Roman on board as the OC, have to think there will be a commitment to the run. Whether that means Barkley or someone else, that's going to be a heck of a fantasy landing spot.
So he can watch Josh Allen run the ball all the time and split with some old guys like Fournette and Latavius?
I think either would be prime landing spots. Houston’s RB blocking may not have been great last year, but Singletary managed well and I’m sure they’ll beef up the line to help Stroud. And having a QB like Stroud with excellent receiving options in Collins/Dell is going to open a lot of running lanes. Plus Stroud is a big scrambler, so that could mean a lot of dumpoffs.
What? You did see how Saquon performed in NY the past two years right? With ZERO O-line, very little help from the other skill positions and Jones at QB.
The Chargers were dead last in run blocking, part of the reason (along with having a health ankle) I think Ekeler might be a steal this offseason.
As a titans fan I hate it.
To retire?
I'm not sure that's totally true. More that Barkley isn't an elite player in my opinion. The following all got paid after year 3, and panned out:
Is yards before contact solely an OL stat? Seems like having 2 non-explosive RBs like Singletary and Pierce would help lower that number.
Its not solely an OL stat, but its mostly an OL stat.

Normally paying an RB doesn’t make sense, but the time is right for Saquon Barkley to the #Eagles
They’ve been looking for an elite RB
Bottom line: Saquon will help this offense and not really impact the cap
@betPARX @_maniacmalloy
I mostly agree with the Giants there. There is a very small list of RBs worth that much, and they are all a lot better than Barkley.
But they gave Jones 40 million and EVERY other qb is better than he is.
They didn't have to pay either. 1 bad decision is better than 2.
Jones plus the contract is pretty super awful
Agreed, I was just addressing the "Every other QB is better than he is" part. If Jones were still on his rookie deal, he'd be fine. Not great, but fine.
What? You don't think Barkley is elite?? Sounds like he may be a bargain this year then.
Swift appears to have got $8 per year. IF that is true, then Barkley is worth $10 in this market.
of the off-season was Saquon to dallas...
