Saquon Barkley First Considered Texans In Free Agency

Mar 27, 2024 1:26 PM

Saquon Barkley made headlines when he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month.

However, Barkley admitted on the "New Heights" podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce that the Eagles weren't the first team he considered when he realized he'd be leaving the New York Giants.

"I'm gonna be honest here, that's what the show is for. The first team that had my real interest was Houston [Texans]," the running back said. "I got to communicate with C.J. [Stroud] and a couple of those boys. But this was before you could actually put offers on the table and talk to teams."

The Texans ended up acquiring Joe Mixon in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals and signing him to a contract extension.

Brian Daboll May Take Over Play-Calling Duties For Giants

Mar 27, 2024 8:11 AM

Brian Daboll admitted Tuesday that he's considering taking over play-calling duties for the New York Giants.

"It's something I'm looking into," Daboll said. "I think there's 20 head coaches at this point in time that call plays in the league (either offensively or defensively). … There might be a little bit more. I've been doing a bunch of research, but no decision has been made. I'm still going through that process, thinking about what we need to do."

The Giants struggled offensively in 2023. Since Daboll was hired in New York, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has primarily been the man calling the shots.

Daboll considering returning to his roots as a play-caller underscores the importance of the 2024 season. 

"Certainly," he said. "I did it for a long time. There's a lot of things that go into it. Part of the evaluation that I talked about, there are some other things that I'm looking into. I take my time and do what I think is best for the team."

Giants Ownership Gives OK To Draft Quarterback

Mar 26, 2024 8:19 AM

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll have the green light from ownership to draft a quarterback next month, if they so desire.

The Giants have the sixth overall pick in this year's draft. They signed Daniel Jones to a $160 million deal last offseason.

"If they fall in love with a quarterback and believe that it's worth pick No. 6 or moving up, I certainly would support that," owner John Mara said.

Schoen has already made it known that the team is at the very least looking at quarterbacks with the high pick.

"I know they're looking at the quarterbacks. You've seen that," Mara said. "They've gone to some of the pro day, we've had some of those guys in. I don't think they're even close to making a final determination yet as to which way we're going to go on that. Those discussions will happen over the next few weeks."

Giants Won't Use Franchise Tag On Saquon Barkley

Mar 5, 2024 2:20 PM

The New York Giants will not place the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley this offseason, which will allow him to become an unrestricted free agent.

A second straight tag for Barkley would cost $12.1 million, but it also wouldn't have been openly embraced. Barkley has been adamant over the past 18 months about not wanting to be tagged.

Barkley, 27, played last season on an adjusted franchise tag that netted him $10.1 million after the two sides failed to reach agreement on a long-term deal.

Barkley rushed for just 962 yards and six touchdowns for the Giants last season, missing three games with a high ankle sprain suffered in a Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Report: Giants Willing To Trade Up To Draft Quarterback

Mar 4, 2024 8:51 AM

Daniel Jones remains on the roster, but the New York Giants are still willing to trade up in this year's NFL Draft to select his possible successor, according to a report.

The Giants have the sixth overall pick, but three teams ahead of them in the draft order are also in the market for a quarterback.

"It's a good quarterback draft," general manager Joe Schoen said. "It's not just at the top. There's some guy that are mid-levels that I think will be good No. 2s. There's some guys that could be No. 3s in the draft. So yeah, I think it's a solid draft all over."

Giants, Saquon Barkley Have 'Good Meeting' At Combine

Mar 1, 2024 8:37 AM

The New York Giants had a "good (initial) meeting" with Saquon Barkley on Wednesday at the NFL Combine, according to a report.

The team remains open to multiple options with Barkley, pending an agreement on contract terms.

While a long-term deal is probably what both sides want, general manager Joe Schoen is willing to go to other means to keep Barkley. 

"I wouldn't say the franchise tag is off the table (for Barkley)," Schoen said.
