DawgX Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Feels like a big overpay, but I could see Barkley having a huge year in Philadelphia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was hoping to get him more for the 12-14 million range. It seems like contracts in general are a bit bigger than I expected, but maybe that's due to the big spike the cap took this year.

If he would have accepted 12-14 million a year, he'd be a Giant right now. That was the Giants offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folesadelphia Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Giants fans should actually be happy... They'll get a comp pick for this and now the Eagles are paying a bad contract to a RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somewhere he said he wanted to stay a Giant, but that's usually what guys say. Not sure he'll get that 17 million, but I guess we'll see.

He was the only reason to watch the Giants for a good 3-4 years and is an awesome guy, so that's tough to take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'm not sure what RBs are getting paid today really constitute "bad contracts" TBH. Like Gabe Davis got 3/39 today and Saquon got 3/37.75. Would you really rather have Gabe Davis than Saquon Barkley on your roster, just from a team building perspective, given that they cost about the same. This mostly just seems like teams committing a medium amount of money to exploit a market inefficiency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 At peace with this and I don't hate Saquon for it. He'll put up big numbers there because it's the Eagles, but the Giants needed to spend the $ elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Well, as a Saquon truther, I’ve always said he just needs the OL. now we maybe find that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wentz you dog you Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) 30 minutes ago, AZ_Eaglesfan said: If this was at similar money to the Pollard/Swift deals I'd be happy, but at this price point he literally has to be elite to make it worth it. I just don't think his health will hold up for that to be the case so I doubt this one ends well. Lol.... Barkley is a 1000x better running back than Pollard and Swift hence why he was paid more. Pittman just got 23 mill (I know he's a WR but it still is unreasonable to me to pay a position way more just because it is a position)... It's not unreasonable to pay a RB 13 mill a year when he is a top of the line caliber player at that position who is a true home run threat any time he gets the ball. Plus Barkley can pick up a blitz and catch the ball Edited March 11 by Wentz you dog you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
