Giants ‘Hard Knocks’ trailer teases major Saquon Barkley moment
NY Post
The first glimpse of the Giants on HBO’s new offseason edition of “Hard Knocks” has arrived, and with it what appears to be a critical exchange between the team’s front office and now-former Giants running back Saquon Barkley.
In the 80-second trailer for the NFL docuseries that dropped Tuesday, general manager Joe Schoen was sitting in his office on the phone with Barkley, who eventually departed in free agency for the loathed rival Eagles.
“Saquon, can you give me your word on that or are you not going to give us a chance?” Schoen asked.
Although the context of the entire conversation is unclear, HBO cameras started following the Giants in January and captured many pivotal moments this offseason, including the NFL Scouting Combine, the 2024 NFL Draft and of course, free agency.
Barkley, the Giants’ top pick in 2018, agreed to a three-year, $37.5 million contract with the Eagles in March.
“I’m just ready to get the business side off of it,” Barkley said during his introductory press conference in Philadelphia. “The last two years, so many people would come up to talk to me about me getting [franchise-] tagged or talk about contracts. Now all that’s done. The business side is done. We can keep the main thing the main thing — and that’s winning football games.”
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
