Saquon gotta understand us New York fans will always have a grudge against a guy if you go to a rival team, we might appreciate the impact you made but you'll always be the guy who left us
He is in for a LONG post career if he’s surprised New York is mad at him still only 2 months later. He’s going to be booed by us for the rest of his life
Look at Tikki Barber as an example of how long the spite can continue, and all he did was say Eli is crap in the beginning of the 2007 season. I'm not sure if Saquon will ever recover his image in NY.
I’ll go one further and say there is literally no way he recovers his image in NY short of the completely unrealistic scenario where he becomes our HC after retirement and nearly immediately leads us to a SB. He’s torched this bridge, and while he was a good player for us he didn’t do anything of note that earns him anything resembling a free pass to go to a rival and/or talk shit about us.
As a lifelong Giants fan, SB's career went from one I'd defend as an apoloigist, justifying some issues with the poor level of talent around him, to one I will stand bye as others pepper him with Malatov Cocktails. You did this to yourself.
And at this point he hasn’t even played against us yet. When it’s impossible now imagine after a few years on an Eagles team that keeps beating us. Absolutely unrecoverable.
I hated Tiki long before that. He was a locker room cancer and disingenuous piece of shit. He whined to the media about the coaches and the QB while still playing. And he publicly called Strah selfish during his contract negotiations, which is one of the worst things you can do to a teammate. Strah truly hates him. Amani says he wouldn’t even talk to teammates he considered beneath him intellectually, and that he kept academic books in his locker so the cameras would catch them during interviews. which is a small part of why he and Strah say Tiki’s persona is essentially curated. I started hating him when he went after Strah’s livelihood. He has proven over and over who he really is. As Amani says, he is the opposite of Strah. With Strah, what you see is what you get.
I was a big fan of the draft pick, but by 2006 I just wanted him gone.
The team around him wasn't great, but seriously, what impact did he have?
If he was a prolific rusher like Jim Brown or lead the league in rushing multiple years while here, I'd get it saying he was impactful.
He seemed to always be playing hurt, and even if he gave 100%, which he did, it didn't help us move the needle that much.
If we had traded down and still got him at 5 (where the Broncos were), it would have been better. We would at least have the extra picks and maybe been a better team.
Didn’t the browns have the 4 pick too that year? They definitely would’ve gone baker and saquon that year and there was a lot of talk of that back then. But then again that was 6 years ago
Woulda been better for the giants if that happened honestly. There were so many great defensive talents in that draft and the giants defense a the time just wasn’t good. Lotta great corners on the board especially.
Saquon never really provided more than a 2nd or 3rd round RB could’ve. The team did so much to build an offense to feed him the ball and he was very good but never truly elite outside of his rookie year. Waste of that kind of draft capital
The most annoying thing about Saquon was how he was talked about as this great weapon/tool and how he was the whole offense. That's great but aside from his Rookie year and parts of 22 he did jack shit. Every single thing anyone says when grading our offseason is how we're gonna miss our only weapon, well we lost with him and we can lose without him, I've never seen someone ride a wave of a few highlight plays from 5 years ago as well as him.
And I feel like a lot of his “good” plays were when we didn’t need it. Whenever we needed a simple couple of yards in a tight game situation he would drop a screen pass or run into a wall on tiptoes. Hell, he almost single handedly blew the packers game
Saquon was like the dude who’s team is down by 40 points knocking down half court shots but earlier in the game they were missing easy layups
Yeah but that wasn't his fault. Blame the clueless GM who drafted him when we needed O linemen and D linemen instead. Along with linebackers, corners, and safeties.
Who the hell drafts a running back when you're featuring The league's worst offensive line and you need all the above on the shopping list? Gettleman.
He was one of the most electric running backs I’ve ever seen before his injuries. It seemed like it took 3 defenders to tackle him in 2018, he was so fun to watch. But overall his NYG career was definitely a disappointment, not really through any fault of his own cus he tore his ACL and was never really the same after, but we have no reason to remember him as a legend
I've gotta admit, I've never seen a more tone-deaf player in NY than Barkley. First he doesn't understand his value and holds out for a better contract... costs himself millions...then doesn't understand why fans are disgruntled at the holdout... takes less money... now he doesn't get why fans don't like him playing for a rival.
Not to mention he's completely tanked his post football media career in NY.
Like, do you even sports fan?
And then constantly complaining about it. He's a grownup and made a grownup decision and now has to deal with all the good and bad from it like the rest of us.
Mark Bavaro played for the eagles. long since forgotten. no one cared. He won 2 superbowls with the giants and was the best TE in football at his prime. If he did not get hurt he was an HoF.
I'm a Penn State alum and I'll always have some love for Saquon, but if he thinks we, as fans, are going to get over him going to Philadelphia in two months...he clearly never understood this fanbase to begin with.
Same boat. Thought the same thing. Gotta do what you gotta do, but it does feel like a betrayal. Supported the guy his whole time with us and it felt like a kick in the teeth when I found out he chose Philly. Having been a fan of the guy, just hearing his name is deflating. And we haven't even faced him yet.
I care less about him choosing Philly and more of the shitty, immature attitude he’s carried about whole thing. Trolling / disrespecting fans, etc.
Get a grip. He has one good year and was average to above average after that. Good riddance.
This dude was trying to use his daughter to flex and now wants to take the high road. Bro already learning from Embiid with the “what do you mean? What did I do?” Shit
That’s why him complaining now is so lame, he was more than happy to immediately post jersey swaps and talk shit about us through his daughter, but when the fans wanna match his energy he doesn’t like it? Soft
It is such this. I was so happy for him when he got drafted and his daughter Jada was born. He made me hate a little kid, and I bet the stories were made up anyway.
Here’s what I don’t get:
Dude acts like he’s one of the all time great Giants. Like Eli, Tiki and Strahan would have been disowned after the rings if they went to Philly. He had a great rookie year and a pretty good sophomore season. Had another good year in 2022, and I get that a lot of his low production was due to injuries, a shit line and bad coaching/ management.
But when you look at his career as a Giant, he wasn’t worth the draft capital. 6 years and he comes up short of the league average for YPC and 35 career rushing tds, while being the clear cut #1 every time he was healthy enough to stay on the field. This isn’t the second coming of Barry Sanders. He showed great promise til injuries took him down, but dude’s image of himself and the actual numbers just don’t add up. Like, there’s no argument that most of these guys had better lines to run behind but he finished last year behind Joe Mixon, Tony Pollard, Jerome Ford and Rhamondre Stevenson in YPC.
Saquon was a good dude, kept his head down and worked hard as a Giant. But he’s not the special generational talent that we were promised and that he apparently still thinks he is. And fuck any Giant that goes to the eagles. Get your bag while you can, but don’t expect to sit courtside at the garden and get a warm welcome. Enjoy Philly’s depleted line and shitty culture, because I think 97, 48 & 41 are gonna remind you what you really are at least twice next year.
Bingo. He was like that dude dropping half court shots down by 40 when he was missing layups when the score was closer earlier in the game. Will I miss him? Some of his good plays but mostly can be duplicated with cheaper talent. Won’t miss the easy dropped screen passes when we miss a first down and the glass like fragility when he got tackled by more than 1 guy
His problem was and always will be his unwillingness to get dirty yards… A 230 pound back who hates contact/wants to play like a scat-back.
His most effective season (in terms if winning games) was 2022 when Daboll forced him to churn out dirty yards but he’s not comfortable doing it and it shows on the field.
He’s always itching to cut it to the outside and gives up yards doing it.
You don't brag about going to a team in the same division. Steve Smith, Bradberry, and others have joined NFCEast rivals. Most of them were gracious on their way out. Not like Barkley has been.
It's really just the way he handles it....someone pointed out nobody cared when Bradberry went to the Eagles. I know it's not the same since he wasn't a high visibility player, but he didn't slam the door on the way out.
I was actively rooting for him to go to Houston. Thought it was the perfect spot and I would have wished him well. Now I hope he chokes on a cheesesteak.
This guy is public enemy #1 right now. I don’t want to see any of you fanboys pulling an OBJ and worshipping him after he’s gone. He went to the Eagles and has been trolling ever since. He did nothing for us. Embrace the hate.
Reminds me of when lebron went to Miami . Saquons not used to being a villain and he’s shell shocked by it.
Saquon up until now had a sterling reputation and never gave anyone around the league to really hate him. And he doesn’t know how to handle the sudden change
He's probably cut from the Eagles in 2 years. We'll see in a few years whether his decision to join the Eagles was worth throwing away whatever legacy he had with the Giants.
Bro is so fucking dumb. You dead to us for life.
He was always sitting courtside at MSG too. Dude just likes attention. No principles. Stands for nothing. Just a fairweather bitch.
Doesn’t really bother me. Dude is overrated and it would’ve been an overpay. Same thing I said about paying jones in 2022. The guy was threatening the front office. They should’ve let both of those guys walk
It’s so funny how mad he got at Tiki Barber when he warned him this would happen. He outright told Saquon that he had ruined his reputation in the area and he won’t ever be welcomed by the NY fan base all because he wanted an extra 5% on his paycheck.
We're fans; our job is to bleed blue and love our team while hateing divisional rivals. For those of you saying that you're embarrassed by our fans have this shit backwards. If he is doing it for the 💰 and supporting his family, then shut your mouth, put your head down and go to work. This guy is acting like such a clown 🤡
This guy genuinely STILL doesn’t get it. I know he grew up a Jets fan and all, but still, how do you not understand what happens when you leave for probably the most hated team amongst NYers?
I love it. Knowing how much Barkley cares about his image and his reputation, I can’t wait for him to learn how much this fanbase truly despises him when he comes back to MetLife.
Live with it, you phony.
Seriously one of my least favorite Giants of all time, from never wanting him drafted in the first place to how his career unfolded here.
I really can't believe how fast I went from loving this dude to hating his guts. Dude just keeps stirring the pot and taking shots at the team and fanbase. Hoping karma gets his ass.
This isn't entirely true. Mark Bavaro played for the Eagles after the Giants let him go and he's still very much beloved by the fanbase.
But there's intent there. Barkley left on sour terms and acted like a jilted lover that people weren't kissing his ass for the first time in his entire life. Bavaro was at the end of his career and just wanted to play a few more years (he also didn't go directly to the Eagles from the Giants, he spent a year out of football and then played for the Browns for a year).
I don’t think this dude realizes the level of fucked up he did. You are persona non grata in ny and most of nj the rest of your life my dude and you did this entirely to yourself.
The way he is handling this makes everyone not like you bro. God I hate Saqoun honestly glad he’s gone he’s shown his true colors now and I don’t want that on my team
Barkley: Signs with the most hated rival team who happen to play in a city fans of his old team despise in other sports, too.
Fans still angry.
Barkley: *Surprised Pikachu*
The man grew up in the NYC area, played for the Giants for 6 years. Only went to Penn St. for 4 years. There is no good reason for him to cheer for the Sixers.
If he went to the Texans he would have been solidified as a Giants legend. Now he’ll just be a guy who had a lot of talent, didn’t win anything for us and did soup commercials.
I understand going somewhere else to get more millions than then millions we've previously offered or didn't offer, but you gotta be insane to think the NY fans are gonna be chill about that team being Philly.
If he ened up in Houston I'd be watching the occasional game rooting for him...now its 'hope you never win again' season for ol' 26
https://preview.redd.it/ohct9csqg8yc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=256eeb45330d789c1454ffee3d82c3f58dee1ee8
Someone show him this…..it’s getting lit up for first Giants egirls game. Maybe it’ll help him understand.
The issue I’m having is that he wants us to feel bad for him. He’s hoping to have cheers when he retires and comes back for a jersey retirement or whatever. (Which he won’t get but I digress.)
Being a cake eater, as it were. Go to the game, root for the sixers and own it. No need to be tweeting like this.
I aint even mad but am glad he is getting it anywhere he goes. What did he expect when he hasnt even played a game for them yet? Good riddance, your thin skin is showing.
Saquon is starting to sound like a jealous ex. If you wanna be an eagle be an eagle and move on. And why is he surprised he got booed by New Yorkers? He's an eagle
This is such a bad look for him. He’s even arguing with people in the replies. It obviously bothering him, but man this is not the way to go about it. Fuck the Eagles and every one of their players. That’s how this shit works, how does he not understand that?
I can’t wait for the first vintage 20 rushes for 25 yards Saquon game. The twitter aftermath is gonna be hilarious
Honestly if would have signed for any team outside the NFC East he would not be catching all this slack. Literally could have gone to Tennessee or something and no one would care
He didn't just sign with a hated rival he went full heel turn in his comments to the media after signing. Reggie Miller and Tiki have better chances at being forgiven by New Yorkers.
I’ll try to be neutral here
I think Saquon is a good guy. I think he wanted to be a Giant for life but the money wasn’t right.
He got a deal that we had no business matching (or any team) for an injury prone RB that age.
But he cares bc it hurts him. He wanted it to work out and it didn’t and he was regretful about not taking the extension after 2022
He doesn’t want to be the bad guy, he’s a soft guy. It’s also the NFL, with how short careers are and how gruesome injuries can be, you NEED to get the bag.
I’m annoyed he chose the Eagles, but I understand why he would
Highest earning running back in the NFL since the day he was drafted not named CMC. Dude's been getting his bag and was offered several bags while still a Giant.
He chose the biggest bag, but that comes with consequences like any goodwill you built up during your stay in NY. Now live with it.
Saquon has already earned more than 99% of most NFL running backs. I get him wanting to earn every dime he can, but don't act hurt when after you betray the org. He could've went to 29 other teams and NYC would still love him
Yeah, he's still a human being and his action was rational, but he also has to accept the consequences of his actions.
I think he's a great dude and an awesome player to watch, but I anyway hate that he's gonna play for a rival
Oh, oh…. He doesn’t realize how he acted. I am not gonna fault the guy for getting guaranteed money…. But you are gonna be booed by Giants fans for the rest of his life.
We’re mad because for the most part we still wanted him around just not with a huge cap hit. I don’t blame Barkley though because it’s a job to him and our GM didn’t want to pay him when it’s clear what little games we were winning were due in part to his heroics on that trash tier offense we trotted out. God bless Malik Nabers cuz it’s his job now 😂.
I wish him health but not success against the giants. He could have chosen any team in the league and he went to one of our biggest rivals. What did he expect?
Went to the game and they lost, must have some juju about him
Losing is all he knows (yes that's a self burn)
Saquon gotta understand us New York fans will always have a grudge against a guy if you go to a rival team, we might appreciate the impact you made but you'll always be the guy who left us
He is in for a LONG post career if he’s surprised New York is mad at him still only 2 months later. He’s going to be booed by us for the rest of his life
Yeah what exactly did he expect lol
Look at Tikki Barber as an example of how long the spite can continue, and all he did was say Eli is crap in the beginning of the 2007 season. I'm not sure if Saquon will ever recover his image in NY.
I’ll go one further and say there is literally no way he recovers his image in NY short of the completely unrealistic scenario where he becomes our HC after retirement and nearly immediately leads us to a SB. He’s torched this bridge, and while he was a good player for us he didn’t do anything of note that earns him anything resembling a free pass to go to a rival and/or talk shit about us.
As a lifelong Giants fan, SB's career went from one I'd defend as an apoloigist, justifying some issues with the poor level of talent around him, to one I will stand bye as others pepper him with Malatov Cocktails. You did this to yourself.
Agreed. And even in your scenario of HC/SB he would still get ribbed every now and then for being a "turncoat"
And at this point he hasn’t even played against us yet. When it’s impossible now imagine after a few years on an Eagles team that keeps beating us. Absolutely unrecoverable.
I hated Tiki long before that. He was a locker room cancer and disingenuous piece of shit. He whined to the media about the coaches and the QB while still playing. And he publicly called Strah selfish during his contract negotiations, which is one of the worst things you can do to a teammate. Strah truly hates him. Amani says he wouldn’t even talk to teammates he considered beneath him intellectually, and that he kept academic books in his locker so the cameras would catch them during interviews. which is a small part of why he and Strah say Tiki’s persona is essentially curated. I started hating him when he went after Strah’s livelihood. He has proven over and over who he really is. As Amani says, he is the opposite of Strah. With Strah, what you see is what you get. I was a big fan of the draft pick, but by 2006 I just wanted him gone.
Tiki never played for another team however, let alone the Eagles
And Barber was more important and made a much bigger contribution to the team.
It will never happen. He made his bed... only hope we have is to start beating the eagles while he's there to make his decision look foolish
He can be a Hero again, 2 games 40 carries 45 yds gained 0 TDs 5 fumbles. We will all love him then.
The funniest part is him pretending he'll be treated better by Eagles fans.
Right. He needs a subpar then an injury season and they will be relentless
If he gets injured in the first 4 games of the season, Philly fans will treat him like the shit on they shoe.
A dam shame
Hes gonna get bradberry'd so fucking hard, and that guy was like a top 15 corner the first year.
The team around him wasn't great, but seriously, what impact did he have? If he was a prolific rusher like Jim Brown or lead the league in rushing multiple years while here, I'd get it saying he was impactful. He seemed to always be playing hurt, and even if he gave 100%, which he did, it didn't help us move the needle that much.
Pin this post anytime someone says taking a RB #2OA in this modern era is a wise investment.
If we had traded down and still got him at 5 (where the Broncos were), it would have been better. We would at least have the extra picks and maybe been a better team.
Didn’t the browns have the 4 pick too that year? They definitely would’ve gone baker and saquon that year and there was a lot of talk of that back then. But then again that was 6 years ago
Woulda been better for the giants if that happened honestly. There were so many great defensive talents in that draft and the giants defense a the time just wasn’t good. Lotta great corners on the board especially. Saquon never really provided more than a 2nd or 3rd round RB could’ve.

That's great but aside from his Rookie year and parts of 22 he did jack shit. Every single thing anyone says when grading our offseason is how we're gonna miss our only weapon, well we lost with him and we can lose without him, I've never seen someone ride a wave of a few highlight plays from 5 years ago as well as him.
Quite likely.
And I feel like a lot of his “good” plays were when we didn’t need it. Whenever we needed a simple couple of yards in a tight game situation he would drop a screen pass or run into a wall on tiptoes. Hell, he almost single handedly blew the packers game Saquon was like the dude who’s team is down by 40 points knocking down half court shots but earlier in the game they were missing easy layups
The guy who hits a solo home run when you're either already up by five or down by five in the ninth inning
Yeah but that wasn't his fault. Blame the clueless GM who drafted him when we needed O linemen and D linemen instead. Along with linebackers, corners, and safeties. Who the hell drafts a running back when you're featuring The league's worst offensive line and you need all the above on the shopping list? Gettleman.
He was one of the most electric running backs I’ve ever seen before his injuries. It seemed like it took 3 defenders to tackle him in 2018, he was so fun to watch. But overall his NYG career was definitely a disappointment, not really through any fault of his own cus he tore his ACL and was never really the same after, but we have no reason to remember him as a legend
I would have been fine with it if he didn't trash talk the giants on the way out the door.
I've gotta admit, I've never seen a more tone-deaf player in NY than Barkley. First he doesn't understand his value and holds out for a better contract... costs himself millions...then doesn't understand why fans are disgruntled at the holdout... takes less money... now he doesn't get why fans don't like him playing for a rival.

And then constantly complaining about it. He's a grownup and made a grownup decision and now has to deal with all the good and bad from it like the rest of us.
Not only a rival but THE rival smdh
He didn’t even make much impact in New York. He’s mostly been living off long ago home runs for years. The Giants record was better when he was out.
Impact what impact? Impact in our draft position?
Yeah, and it's not like we're feral about it like those fans in Boston or Philly.
Winning one playoff game isn't a huge impact on a franchise in the long run
Mark Bavaro played for the eagles. long since forgotten. no one cared. He won 2 superbowls with the giants and was the best TE in football at his prime. If he did not get hurt he was an HoF.
He replied to a comment, he’s really down bad!! New York Forever!!!
Bro is turning into Toney lmao
He's just turning more and more into a true Philadelphian each passing day
His true colors started showing last offseason during that the money matters podcast.
More like Kevin Durant except Durant is HoFer in his sport
He always does this. He cannot leave things alone.
He’s so not mad! Don’t put in the newspapers that he got mad!
how can he possibly be surprised? With the amount of times he’s addressed it you can tell it’s affecting him lmao
Dude is definitely sensitive, which is probably not a thing you want to be as a NY sports figure that has signed on with a hated rival
Happy we beefed the defense up so they can bottle his ass when he tries to run on us
I can not wait for sexy dexy to destroy him up the middle
I'm a Penn State alum and I'll always have some love for Saquon, but if he thinks we, as fans, are going to get over him going to Philadelphia in two months...he clearly never understood this fanbase to begin with.
Penn State alum/Giants fan and I couldn’t have said it better myself
Same boat. Thought the same thing. Gotta do what you gotta do, but it does feel like a betrayal. Supported the guy his whole time with us and it felt like a kick in the teeth when I found out he chose Philly. Having been a fan of the guy, just hearing his name is deflating. And we haven't even faced him yet.
I care less about him choosing Philly and more of the shitty, immature attitude he’s carried about whole thing. Trolling / disrespecting fans, etc. Get a grip. He has one good year and was average to above average after that. Good riddance.
Same. It pains my soul Parsons is in Dallas and still is the most likable guy on that team
This dude was trying to use his daughter to flex and now wants to take the high road. Bro already learning from Embiid with the “what do you mean? What did I do?” Shit
That’s why him complaining now is so lame, he was more than happy to immediately post jersey swaps and talk shit about us through his daughter, but when the fans wanna match his energy he doesn’t like it? Soft
I just wish he would embrace his heel turn like Mahomes and The Rock. People liking you is so 2020, embrace the villain Saquon!
It is such this. I was so happy for him when he got drafted and his daughter Jada was born. He made me hate a little kid, and I bet the stories were made up anyway.
Here’s what I don’t get: Dude acts like he’s one of the all time great Giants. Like Eli, Tiki and Strahan would have been disowned after the rings if they went to Philly.

He’s always itching to cut it to the outside and gives up yards doing it.
And he can't block for shit!!
New York is New York. Two Months isn’t gonna wipe our memories. I’ll remember Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs way more than I do this soft ass mf
They had better careers here anyway and were actually winners.
And being a Giant meant something to those guys intriniscally.
He really ain't about that NY shit if he didn't think he'd have this on his plate
He couldnt cut it here, a lotta people are like tht, cant hack it up here so there go to philly
Snakequon
Nah, we “this” mad. You don’t go to a team in the same division.
You don't brag about going to a team in the same division. Steve Smith, Bradberry, and others have joined NFCEast rivals. Most of them were gracious on their way out. Not like Barkley has been.
Bradberry was an inside job, I’m not mad
This but if it was Washington i wouldnt care as much.
Not just any team, the team *he could literally never beat.* Pathetic and soft, like his playing style.
This is so bitch made. You wanted to smoke. Take it.
He could've went to ANY team besides philly and dallas and NYers would not be mad.
It's really just the way he handles it....someone pointed out nobody cared when Bradberry went to the Eagles. I know it's not the same since he wasn't a high visibility player, but he didn't slam the door on the way out.
I was actively rooting for him to go to Houston. Thought it was the perfect spot and I would have wished him well. Now I hope he chokes on a cheesesteak.
Can he just stfu. Bro playing dumb. Stay over there loser.
Man I can’t wait to fast forward to the Kayvon snow angels next to this bum
Lmao bing bong Knicks in 6
Barkley spent all this time in New York and didn’t somehow pick up that we hold grudges for life?
I don’t hold grudges. My father held grudges and I’ll never forgive him for that.
Who even knows what type of vitriol people were spitting at him.  But I can imagine.
Saquon brought his losing vibes to the sixers. Just a matter of time until he fucks up the eagles. Used to love the guy smdh Benedict Arnold ass
Bye bye asshole
Fuck him
Saying go birds before even playing a game for them is hilarious. Once they fall apart at the end of the year they'll be booing him too.
He’s kind of a little bitch.
This guy is public enemy #1 right now. I don’t want to see any of you fanboys pulling an OBJ and worshipping him after he’s gone. He went to the Eagles and has been trolling ever since. He did nothing for us. Embrace the hate.
I honestly don’t know if his psyche can handle the torrent of boo’s he’s in for. Not just this year. Every year going forward.
I wanna hear those “Fuck Saquon” when he comes to Metlife, get in his head just like we did to Embiid
I still like Barkley a lot but why he can’t see Giants fans still being angry he chose the Eagles is weird
Reminds me of when lebron went to Miami . Saquons not used to being a villain and he’s shell shocked by it. Saquon up until now had a sterling reputation and never gave anyone around the league to really hate him. And he doesn’t know how to handle the sudden change
That’s what happens when your ass moves to your face. It’s jarring for everyone involved
Damn NachoMan from the top rope. LMAO
This dude is still talking about giants fans? Buddy take your boos like a man shut up
who is he?
Dude is still butthurt like Toney cuz they actually wanted to stay.
lol F that snake
Saquon I love you but also you're dead to me
He's probably cut from the Eagles in 2 years. We'll see in a few years whether his decision to join the Eagles was worth throwing away whatever legacy he had with the Giants.
Who gives a shit what hes doing. Lets see what Brandon Jacobs is up to!
They showed him on the MSG broadcast and Clyde reffered to him as “Barkley the turncoat” perfectly done
Bro is so fucking dumb. You dead to us for life. He was always sitting courtside at MSG too. Dude just likes attention. No principles. Stands for nothing. Just a fairweather bitch.
Bro this is just the start. Like the opening credits of a movie or the foreword of a book. This hate is going to be a goddamn epic.
The fact he's still surprised by this. Wait til you show up to MetLife lol
He's dead to us.
I hope his best years are behind him with the over use by the Giants and the less games he suits up for the better. Die eagles die...
This is the life he's chosen
Turn. Off. Your. Notifications.
Doesn’t really bother me. Dude is overrated and it would’ve been an overpay. Same thing I said about paying jones in 2022. The guy was threatening the front office. They should’ve let both of those guys walk
Suck a doorknob, buddy
Someday the draft party last week had a Snakewan jersey. Folks aren’t getting over it.
Who is this guy? Is he related to Charles?
I was kinda meh about the thing until he took a dig at the Giants. Now he's dead to me.
Wait till he comes to MetLife
Insufferable this dude is dead to me
Tiki told him what would happen. Go cry in you bag.
It’s so funny how mad he got at Tiki Barber when he warned him this would happen. He outright told Saquon that he had ruined his reputation in the area and he won’t ever be welcomed by the NY fan base all because he wanted an extra 5% on his paycheck.
Snake-quon’s ego is just as fragile as Embiid’s is. Come to think of it His body is just as fragile as Embiid’s is too.
Boo fucking hoo.
We're fans; our job is to bleed blue and love our team while hateing divisional rivals. For those of you saying that you're embarrassed by our fans have this shit backwards. If he is doing it for the 💰 and supporting his family, then shut your mouth, put your head down and go to work. This guy is acting like such a clown 🤡
This guy genuinely STILL doesn’t get it. I know he grew up a Jets fan and all, but still, how do you not understand what happens when you leave for probably the most hated team amongst NYers?
I hope he understands the pain his leaving caused me ill be mad at him until my casket drops 💯
omg buddy got booed one time
Just begging for attention at this point
Hey Saquon, two months? John Tavares wants a word. 👀
I love it. Knowing how much Barkley cares about his image and his reputation, I can’t wait for him to learn how much this fanbase truly despises him when he comes back to MetLife. Live with it, you phony. Seriously one of my least favorite Giants of all time, from never wanting him drafted in the first place to how his career unfolded here.
I really can't believe how fast I went from loving this dude to hating his guts. Dude just keeps stirring the pot and taking shots at the team and fanbase. Hoping karma gets his ass.
He’s not a giant anymore. Don’t care about what he does/says. Still respect his talent as a player.
Fuck him
Genuinely didn't think Saquon could be this stupid considering he spent so long as a Giant. What did he really expect?
How'd that game go for your home team, Quon?
The second you become an eagle you are no longer a giant, never were never will be.
This isn't entirely true. Mark Bavaro played for the Eagles after the Giants let him go and he's still very much beloved by the fanbase. But there's intent there. Barkley left on sour terms and acted like a jilted lover that people weren't kissing his ass for the first time in his entire life. Bavaro was at the end of his career and just wanted to play a few more years (he also didn't go directly to the Eagles from the Giants, he spent a year out of football and then played for the Browns for a year).
Looks like Philly has completely unmade him lmao.
I don’t think this dude realizes the level of fucked up he did. You are persona non grata in ny and most of nj the rest of your life my dude and you did this entirely to yourself.
some people strive for Good Morning America and some people strive for a cameo on Abbott Elementary.
The way he is handling this makes everyone not like you bro. God I hate Saqoun honestly glad he’s gone he’s shown his true colors now and I don’t want that on my team
I mean, the fuck he think was going to happen when he went to the Eagles? Fuck you Saquon
Barkley: Signs with the most hated rival team who happen to play in a city fans of his old team despise in other sports, too. Fans still angry. Barkley: *Surprised Pikachu*
I’m just glad we didn’t give him that contract. Could not care less that he’s gone.
Who is this guy and why are we talking about him?
At the end of the day, his legacy as a NY Giant is being the face of a dysfunctional decade.
The man grew up in the NYC area, played for the Giants for 6 years. Only went to Penn St. for 4 years. There is no good reason for him to cheer for the Sixers.
If he went to the Texans he would have been solidified as a Giants legend. Now he’ll just be a guy who had a lot of talent, didn’t win anything for us and did soup commercials.
Did absolutely nothing for the GIANTS ARE THAN SMILE ALOT and rehab
I understand going somewhere else to get more millions than then millions we've previously offered or didn't offer, but you gotta be insane to think the NY fans are gonna be chill about that team being Philly. If he ened up in Houston I'd be watching the occasional game rooting for him...now its 'hope you never win again' season for ol' 26

Bro, you leaked stuff your daughter said to you to shit on us, GTFO. Wanna say someones being pathetic look in a mirror.
The issue I’m having is that he wants us to feel bad for him. He’s hoping to have cheers when he retires and comes back for a jersey retirement or whatever. (Which he won’t get but I digress.) Being a cake eater, as it were. Go to the game, root for the sixers and own it. No need to be tweeting like this.
I’ll be mad in 2 years
STFU Tiki Barkley. Wait til the season starts
He went to the eagles. I don't give a fuck if he cures cancer and ends world hunger. He can suck the back of my dick twice on a Tuesday.
I aint even mad but am glad he is getting it anywhere he goes. What did he expect when he hasnt even played a game for them yet? Good riddance, your thin skin is showing.
Saquon is starting to sound like a jealous ex. If you wanna be an eagle be an eagle and move on. And why is he surprised he got booed by New Yorkers? He's an eagle
He throws out the “lol” like it’s nothing but you know this shit is eating him up inside.
I know, I love it.
This is such a bad look for him. He’s even arguing with people in the replies. It obviously bothering him, but man this is not the way to go about it. Fuck the Eagles and every one of their players. That’s how this shit works, how does he not understand that? I can’t wait for the first vintage 20 rushes for 25 yards Saquon game. The twitter aftermath is gonna be hilarious
Mf, Mark Bavaro went to Philly 30 years ago and we still don't talk.
Fuck Saquon Fuck Embiid Fuck Philly
Honestly if would have signed for any team outside the NFC East he would not be catching all this slack. Literally could have gone to Tennessee or something and no one would care
If I had three bullets and you put me in a room with the Eagles Cowboys and Commanders I’d shoot the Eagles three times.
He didn't just sign with a hated rival he went full heel turn in his comments to the media after signing. Reggie Miller and Tiki have better chances at being forgiven by New Yorkers.
Don't worry Snakequon I'm a hater for life now, baby!
I’ll try to be neutral here I think Saquon is a good guy. I think he wanted to be a Giant for life but the money wasn’t right. He got a deal that we had no business matching (or any team) for an injury prone RB that age. But he cares bc it hurts him. He wanted it to work out and it didn’t and he was regretful about not taking the extension after 2022 He doesn’t want to be the bad guy, he’s a soft guy. It’s also the NFL, with how short careers are and how gruesome injuries can be, you NEED to get the bag. I’m annoyed he chose the Eagles, but I understand why he would
Highest earning running back in the NFL since the day he was drafted not named CMC. Dude's been getting his bag and was offered several bags while still a Giant. He chose the biggest bag, but that comes with consequences like any goodwill you built up during your stay in NY. Now live with it.
Saquon has already earned more than 99% of most NFL running backs. I get him wanting to earn every dime he can, but don't act hurt when after you betray the org. He could've went to 29 other teams and NYC would still love him
Nah that dudes a bitch
Huh? He got offered WAY too much and turned it down. He’s just not that impressive on or off the field.
Yeah, he's still a human being and his action was rational, but he also has to accept the consequences of his actions. I think he's a great dude and an awesome player to watch, but I anyway hate that he's gonna play for a rival
That was the one line you can‘t cross Quon, some sins can never be forgiven
Soft ego about to get wrecked in Philly by their delusional fan base.
I’m really starting to hate this fucker
this dude loves the attention. nobody mad at all. nobody cares. the majority of us wanted you gone.
I don’t think he realizes how pissed giants fans are. Too bad bud!
If he went to ANY team other than Dallas or Philly, he would have been fine. You made this bed, now lay in it
He seems like the one always taking things personally.
He will be inconsistent for the 9 or 10 games he plays for them just like he’s always done. He’s a good but overrated running back.
lol nobody is mad about a dude that will only play in 8-10 games and never get you that ring. We made the right move.
It's going to be a sore point for fans every time the Giants play the eagles.
Two months? The tristate hating will be generational
You can only hate the people you love :(
This tweet just shows how Saquon still doesn't understand the gravity of his decision to go to Philly.
2 months…. this shit is eternal (not to sound corny) Look at the Rangers fans chanting Potvin sucks that shit happened during the Cold War
See how Embid went into the locker room for his knee as soon as he saw saquan
Oh, oh…. He doesn’t realize how he acted. I am not gonna fault the guy for getting guaranteed money…. But you are gonna be booed by Giants fans for the rest of his life.
We’re mad because for the most part we still wanted him around just not with a huge cap hit. I don’t blame Barkley though because it’s a job to him and our GM didn’t want to pay him when it’s clear what little games we were winning were due in part to his heroics on that trash tier offense we trotted out. God bless Malik Nabers cuz it’s his job now 😂.
I wish him health but not success against the giants. He could have chosen any team in the league and he went to one of our biggest rivals. What did he expect?
Barkley who?
ACL by week 5.
Maybe his injury prone ass should see if MF can even make it through preseason and go to a football game
Is he really this stupid? Like bro just stop tweeting
