Tony Pollard, Josh Jacobs, and Saquon Barkley — all received that designation from their teams. Pollard received the non-exclusive franchise tag from the Dallas Cowboys after making his first career Pro Bowl.

Saquon Barkley spent six years with the Giants and won one playoff game. He's now in the Super Bowl with the Eagles, Big Blue's bitter rivals.

While the Yankees went on to long-term success and what stands at 27 th World Series championships, the Red Sox endured the Curse of the Bambino and didn’t win a World Series title for 86 years.

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.

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

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.

Former New York Giants GM Dave Gettleman is “thrilled” for Saquon Barkley and wants the world to remember that he got it right in 2018.

NEW ORLEANS — Saquon Barkley doesn’t have a lot of love for the Giants general manager who let him walk out the door. He does for the one who drafted him.

From his hospital room at Memorial Sloan Kettering a week and a half ago, Hamish Fenton made a decision that he knows won’t be popular with many of his fellow Giants fans. He will root for the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl LIX. He will root for Saquon Barkley.
