The season premiere of the HBO programme Hard Knockswent into detail about losing Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. This episode sparked the decades-long Eagles-Giants rivalry, with wide receiver A.J. Brown taking to Twitter to respond to the episode. However, the comments made in this episode were ultimately harmless and only served to spark competition between the two teams.
There were scenes in the season opener where the Giants executive office debated whether to bring Barkley back. They talked about how he fit into their future plans as well. The front staff didn’t think Barkley had much of a long-term future, according to Sports Illustrated. The running back was the subject of most of the behind-closed-door talks regarding the franchise tagging and dealing him for future assets.
Would you be comfortable parting with $3–$4 million in exchange for a fifth-round pick? Giants Assistant General Manager Brandon Brown stated.
Concerns were also expressed about Barkley’s mileage at this point in his career. Giants general manager Joe Schoen discussed how he previously had 900 carries at Penn State in addition to his NFL career, and how running backs typically start to fade at age 27.
This is the year for Daniel (Jones), according to Schoen, who was cited by MSN and other sites.. Additionally, Schoen discussed how paying a quarterback $40 million does not entitle him to “hand the ball off to a $12 million back.”

Brown noticed these remarks made during the episode. The now-deleted tweet from Brown’s account endorsing Barkley was published by Sports Illustrated..
Even though the Saquon video wasn’t about me, it really got me revved up. I will exert every effort to ensure that you receive yours, family. stated Brown.
Barkley ranked fourth all-time in the franchise’s history of rushing yards despite injuries and offensive line problems with the Giants.
On the pitch, Barkley hopes to disprove the franchise. Although he would need to maintain his health, he has an opportunity to have a successful season because the Eagles have the second-best offensive line in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus.
