New Giants GM Open to Trading Saquon Barkley

Former Bills front office staffer Joe Schoen took over as Giants general manager in January. As he seeks to get the proud franchise out of a serious rut—including a five-year playoff drought—all options are on the table, including a trade involving former No. 2 pick Saquon Barkley.

The superstar running back is one of the most electric players in the league when healthy, but he’s struggled to stay on the field and hasn’t truly elevated the floundering Giants offense when active.

New York is currently projected to be $12 million over the salary cap in 2022, a major issue for Schoen given how the team has struggled with that roster. He doesn’t sound afraid to make a big splash to reshape the team, even if it involves dealing a popular player like Barkley.
