As Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley leads his team to Sunday’s Super Bowl game, the New York Giants remain a punching bag for at least one more game for letting him go.

One of the biggest gambles for New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has taken during his 3+ years as the organization's chief decision maker was to let running back Saquon Barkley test the open market last offseason rather than go back to the negotiating table.

Barkley spent the first six seasons of his professional career with the Giants but was unable to come to an agreement on a long-term contract. He negotiated for two years with general manager Joe Schoen but in the end, the Giants GM let him walk over roughly $2 million.
