GET UP | Will Barkley return to Giants in 2024 or play on a new team next season? – Graziano disscus

GET UP | Will Saquon Barkley return to Giants in 2024 or play on a new team next season? – Dan Graziano & Domonique Foxworth debate

High and tight offse burning questions for the group Graziano let’s start with a big one which team is saquan Barkley going to play for in 2024 New York Giants boo they can franchise him again guys for $12 million do we expect that I do I do expect that they franchised him last

Year he wanted a new contract their answer was basically no and I think they’ll do it again and maybe there’s a a solution they can come to but they didn’t find it last year uh and he didn’t exactly hold out and make their life difficult so I don’t know why they

Would think they couldn’t get away with it the fact that he went such good should such good soldier for them a year ago the fact that the locker room is already starting to come out you’re hearing comments Kon Tibido and others you should have paid him that’s the one

Thing that’s the one thing right cuz if the locker room and they are very much behind him and if ownership says hey look this is too important we got to pay this guy because I don’t think the front office which comes from Buffalo where they never paid a running back is eager

To pay a running back a big salary I I just don’t think they are but but is it the alternative then to just let him go try and find the bigger contract somewhere else sure but why you don’t have to that’s why they invented the franchise Tech lock lock is actually

That’s not why how they use it it sort of is yeah yeah you’re right that that’s what they do with it the locker room issue is a smaller problem it’s rare that that becomes a big problem in football it’s not like basketball all the players recognize they have a short

Opportunity so even if they’re annoyed tibo’s still going to ball out to the best of his ability I don’t think they care about it it’s unfair and it sucks for running backs in particular but especially saquon cuz he’s one of the best we’ve seen where my point is if

Ownership starts to care what the locker room thinks and makes a ruling right then all of a sudden that could if there’s a team we could put him on taking the Giants out of it if there was a team we could put him on that he would immediately make them a Super Bowl

Contender which team would that be Houston Texans Houston Texans now see that’s fantastic I love that thank you here all day I’m going Dallas Cowboys oh I like that one better well of course but he they needed it last year they need it this year know he’s a dual threat he’s impactful he

Knows the division extremely well like all the things that you want to happen this guy’s been playing it and he produces that’s he’s exactly what they need right he’s literally exactly what they don’t have exactly I mean the the best version of their offense was when

They had a real running back that they felt like they could rely on all all the time no disrespect to per coming off an injury but he was at his best when he had another counter so it’d be nice to see there but I think would Hawke

Mentioned a team that’s less fun to talk about would be nice too to see a young quarterback paired with uh that type of running back but honestly any team there’s not a team that is on like I think the Baltimore was thought of as a

Team that he could go to at some point if they hand it to the running back he’d be a great addition there also and I think if you got sequan you won’t forget to do that all right offseason burning questions let’s go to Buffalo that’s a team that finally got a running game

Together last year and it made a difference do they need to get Josh Allen more help in Buffalo hawk more help than than what James Cook who can do it in the pass game and the running game Stefon Diggs who has been a top three receiver over the last five

Seasons excuse me excuse me top five receiver over when Five Seasons Five Season the last time he had 100 yards in a game this year was week six I I mean you again I think number play Stephon dig is still a number one receiver I think I think part of part of his

Decline was the the change in the style of offense I think Steph is still a number one receiver he kept the coordinator yeah I I understand Maybe and his value out there is still attracting attention so I I don’t know that he that Josh Allen needs more help

But I do think that you can never have too much help when you got to get past uh Patrick Mahomes were they but their defense is so depleted if you have an option between helping Josh Allen or improving that defense you got to get numbers for the defense and you can’t

Get too much help when you’re paying the quarterback what you’re paying him so I mean the reality is when you are a top play quarterback you have to do more with less and Stefon dig is more than what you get less he hasn’t he’s an incredible receiver yes he had a down

Season but skill for skill bar for bar Stefon Diggs is still Stefon Diggs please do not get that misunderstand even if he is I think Dad I I I you saw they drafted concade last year like I I I I know Brandon Bean is always after wide receiver upgrades it’s been a big

Thing for him since he’s been the GM there Gabe Davis doesn’t seem to have really worked out as a consistent threat so I do think they add he’s up 100 I agree I agree with Gage you got to go get another one you you got to you got

To get you got to get a a complimentary receiver on the other side of the field especially if as you get to the playoff time and you want Allen to use his legs you have to be able to push people off of you and Brady does a great job with

Cook and all that but at some point defense are going to climb down you’re going to have to have it help isn’t just um running backs and receivers help is also defense and I think back to the first round of that Ravens game against Houston the Ravens were bad kind of

Offensively but the help that they received was the defense holding it together until they could get to halftime and we saw it again in the Chiefs game the help that that um Lamar received although he couldn’t capitalize on it was that defense keeping them in

The game the whole time I think the help that Josh Allen needs is less pressure on him which can come from I do agree with that but but you got guys coming back from injury on that side of the ball too yeah but the Von Miller thing

Hasn’t worked out I I I’m not going to be surprised to see them in that market either yeah I think that’s a greater need than anything else but we can talk more about Stefan digs look I think he gets the credit I I think no one besides

Josh Allen gets more credit for Josh Allen becoming Allen then stepan digs does but the time comes for everyone how depending on how we’re defining a number one receiver you know is he a top is he a top 10 receiver in the league a top 15

Receiver in the league anymore I I mean that that that would be the question I would ask I I still think he’s a top 10 receiver but to your point if the production they got with Joe Brady as a unit was Far and Beyond what they were getting previously in this season

Because the offense is being called differently so you can have the conversation of well now that this is our new identity offensively do we need a Stefon Diggs the way that we’ve needed him in the past that’s a legit thing but as as far as ability and what can bring

To the table he is still a top 10 receiver but maybe he needs to be in a different scenario so that they can get the most out of his I think about Philly you know AJ and and Devonte Smith like there has to be a you know a Batman and

Rob there’s got to be some help I’m just telling you because you can take one guy out the the tight end is not going to scare you that much okay let me leave that one there cuz one more burning question here and this is one Nick that

Is near and dear to my heart are the Jets a playoff team with Aaron roders back and healthy next year n homie a homie n homie I hate I hate to to break your heart but uh Aron Rogers is not going to be better than he was uh

Last year or than he was his final year in Green Bay like Father time he wasn’t anything last year right but Father Time catches up to all of us and achilles while he may have the best rehab in the history three it’s still going to be a

Diminished version of it and they still have holes that they need to address and they need to answer at defense is probably not probably defense is statistically less consistent to return as offense and they managed to put together two back-to-back seasons of really great defense the defense being

As good as it’s been is uh a lot to ask even though they’re still going to be good you’re expecting this team that still has issues with at probably the second most important thing to have if you want to have protect productive offense is uh offensive line they still

Got those problems there so I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves if we believe that just adding this version of Aaron Rogers puts them in the play well yeah we don’t know what version of Aaron Rogers this is right there’s no way to know there is no there’s no history of a

40-year-old coming back from this injury but let me I’m going to disagree I I I think I think they are I think they will become and I think they do need help on offensive line wise but if there’s one thing that Aaron can do and figure out

It’s the timing of his routes to get the ball out of his hand and not take unnecessary series shots he will find a way to do that and he’s got a long time I mean from a rehab perspective he’ll have a long time I know he was trying to

Rush it back but they will be with the defense they have the running backs they have they just got to get their line to go play we’re talking about Kirk hins playing next year Aaron Rogers had the same injury months earlier so in theory

He should be as ready to go as could be absolutely can I’m asking an offensive lineman can you build an offensive line in one off season right now they basically need four parts yeah I mean you look at what Kansas City did after after after that what what fac what they

Faced now you’re going to have to draft right but the the other part of that is the quarterback can help your offensive line look much better than they are by timing of routes right the way you call plays can benefit your offensive line it doesn’t have to be back there where

You’re holding the ball patting the ball and doing those things timing helps all offensive lines you just got to figure that part out that’s not how Aaron Rogers plays and that’s not how he played in the four plays that he played last year that’s the four plays let’s

Not let’s not dive into the he does hold the ball but I’m saying is he doesn’t take unnecessary shots he does a decent job I had a conversation with with Jeff earlier about offensive line play and how difficult it is to find good offensive lineman now now all of a

Sudden you can find four in one off you get them on Craigslist but I I I think that when you look at the Jets being in the playoffs is not the barometer like that’s easy I think they’re a playoff team they were seven and 10 this year with the worst quarterback play we’ve

Seen in years so I think Aaron roders since the year before I think Aaron roders can flip four games abolutely but as it pertains to the playoffs that’s not the goal with Aaron Rogers it’s being a Super Bowl team and that they are not all right we will take a short

Break on that thought much much more to say to be said up against the hour the d& For good Spe for Your team has destroyed a tower enemy has defeated you have compl an enemy an eny has been defeated enemy double kill Ulate Spee Watch that me Speee for speee fore speech spe deated You have defeated an enemy an enemy has been defeated foreign Spee On on Victory
