Rich Eisen on the NY Giants’ Letting Saquon Walk, Then Trading for Brian Burns | The Rich Eisen Show

I'd like to start with how yesterday's

show

ended with Saquan Barkley beating the Giants to the Philadelphia Eagles and, uh, first blush, first blush. I wonder what's up with that, like I said, Giants, this is the best free agency version of you. around you from time to time you find out and the Giant watched the face of his franchise since he was selected second overall by previous general manager Dave Gelman and his Goodwill Hunting accent selected him second overall from from Penn State and has been the face of the franchise and a fan favorite and Walter Pton Man of the Year candidate

walk

ing around the New York, New Jersey metropolitan area.

Community is the man he is, and despite a pair of season-long ACL ankle sprains, his rookie season was stellar. and his playoff season was stellar and the rest left wanting and now he's a Philadelphia Eagle and that sucks for the New York Giants fan base, but here we give the benefit of the doubt and I think the New York Giants signed. Saquin last year the way they tried, they tried to sign him long term last year and

then

since The Story Goes wanted Christian Mcaffrey, $16 million a year, he certainly wanted more than just a hair above the tag franchise, which is apparently what the Giants were offering, we had Joe Shane, the general manager on the

show

, saying that they tried it in the middle of the playing season two seasons ago they tried it during the non-playing season a year ago in This very moment they tried it they couldn't get it It was done, but the franchise tagged him, they gave him some incentives even though it was impossible to reach them and he didn't reach them, and I think they did it and the franchise tagged him and he gave up on Daniel Jones because Jones was willing to take what the Giants were still good at giving him even though I don't think he would have gotten it on the open market and Chris Brockman certainly doesn't think he would have gotten it on the open market even though the open market generally supports a little. more, but now we're seeing the quarterback market wobble a little bit here, you've got the franchise kids coming off first-year contracts, the first rookie contracts getting a ton of money, the quarterback elite is getting a lot of money.

First year contracts get a ton of money in year two, second contracts, the Burrows, the Herberts, Trevor Lawrence will get it too, folks, but that's for another conversation today. I think what the Giants did was try to play him for one more year. with sequins and see if Daniel Jones would be the man in the next two or three years and that didn't work out and they decided to do it because I think the Giants, from what I heard at the combine, were rumored to be done with Daniel Jones, they may They have to play with him this year but he's not the guy once he comes back from injury in their minds and they signed Saquin last year thinking we just had our playoff season let's see what we can do with him and it didn't work out. . and yesterday they took a turn because every story i read about saquin going to the eagles said the

giants

didn't even offer him a contract, they didn't even offer him anything new and now

saquon

is an eagle because the eagles are doing what the

giants

tried to do . last year just for a One-Shot deal and the ners did it with Mcaffrey because it seems like nowadays you want to give a young running back like Saquin or Mcaffrey or I guess like CRA this kind of money that is now going to go to a team who is already established at most of the other positions and is ready to take this guy who is entering his late 20s and Turbo Charge, which you have the ners already placed on the line on defense, were located in the receiver, they're slotted at tight end, they're slotted at fullback, right, yeah, they thought they were slotted at quarterback when they got Mcaffrey and sure enough, they got Mcaffrey.

It ends up being nice and they seem to be prepared with pie, so Mcaffrey turbocharge is what I have the Eagles at receiver, at quarterback without Kelce, we will see what they do at the line, but they are ready at the line. You know, Today Roseman will have defensive pass rushers even though Fletcher Cox is gone. Got Jordan Davis, they're ready everywhere, now you can add Saquin and maybe they can do what the ners did, which is speed things up and not let the last six weeks of the season destroy them, but hand it over to their new 26. the guy from Penn State and Lehi Valley is doing very well, so it makes sense for the Eagles to do it and the Giants seem to have turned a corner, which is hard for Giants fans to swallow because they could have told you at see Daniel Jones last year that Daniel Jones' stuff was an outlier, the Giants, although they are in charge of building a roster and they saw what Daniel Jones did to the Vikings and they saw what Saquin did and they said we can Well, let's take this to the next level, let's keep it going. going and everything went to shit and now they've pivoted because when you don't have strength they're like the Niners of the Eagles building around a world-class running back or a world-class safety, right? and it's hard to swallow. but that's not what the Giants did yesterday, which is hammer the line of scrimmage because as soon as Saquan

walk

ed out the door and Xavier McKenna walked out the door, he went to the Packers for a monster contract to run their secondary. because they seem to be in other positions where they can look for someone like Josh Jacobs and say goodbye to Aaron Jones and they can put McKenna in their secondary and go to work with everyone else being young and on first contracts and they "They will have to pay him Jordan Love a significant amount of money.

They can do this. The Giants went out and acquired Brian Burns, a 25-year-old pass rusher who may be the best player the National Football League has ever had." I haven't heard of this guy, or I certainly haven't seen much of him, he's the very definition of beast beast and all you did was give up a second this year, you already have a second in your back pocket from Seattle and the trade of Leonard William and a fifth rounder and when I say all, they resigned from the Los Angeles Rams two seasons ago, knocked on the Carolina Panthers' door and said we'll give you two, one of two for Brian Burns and they said no, that's how Les I needed to value this guy.

The Giants just came in and said, How about you remove Brian Burns from the franchise tag? You don't want to pay him. We know you don't want to pay him. We'll give you a two and a five. You are fully recruited. Take Needy because you traded everything for Bryce Young and you come back and give us Brian Burns and we'll start rushing the pass well and

then

they'll attack their offensive line which, as we know and every Giants fan knows, has been a major source. spot I don't know if they pass protection or run blocking somewhere on Metti Jets or Giants, sorry to get the Jets involved in this, but the Giants take a look at what they got yesterday, they got Germaine alumor and Brian Burns and John runan John ran. and Alumor, two guys on their offensive line and Devin Single Milary, who had a spectacular season for the Texans last year, a little bit of a running back from Bargain Basement and they lost Barkley and Mckin and, by the way, Rod Taylor is now the Aaron's endorsement.

Roders, which I think is an outstanding move by the Jets and not only because Trod Taylor's name is not Zach Wilson, but it's hard for Giants fans to swallow when you lose Saquan Barkley, the face of your franchise. rooting for him, you love him, he's basically one of the only Giants that people know and you lose them and not just anyone but the Eagles, it's a tough pill to swallow, but the Giants restarted yesterday and the question is what do they do? ? what they do now as a quarterback, that's the answer because what they do as a quarterback and what they do in the draft to try to get more weapons on offense is, in my opinion, the difference between trying to win every game three to nothing or everyone gets fired.

Honestly, the front office and I think they know that too. It's in the matter of when number eight will return and how soon he will return and how well he will be able to play when he returns because they won't cut him and they certainly won't trade him. he's on the team for this year and what else are they going to do sixth overall. I'll tell you who won't be there because every move that's been made so far in the last 24 hours with the Patriots signing Jacobe Brassette and the Commanders. Today, filling Bret's shoes with Marcus Mariota means Patriots brass are preparing to draft a rookie quarterback and we all know the Bears will too, unless the Giants want to trade another draft pick for Chicago by Justin Fields, where because Chicago must be sitting there looking at the scenery, there aren't many places that are going to take Justin Fields right now or they're going to sit there at 6 and go to JJ McCarthy or Pennx or maybe get one of those stallions. receivers and I hope Daniel Jones has a resurgent season and maybe I'm not kidding, sign Joe Flacko as his Player of the Year comeback and make him your week one starter.

I don't know, I'm just spitting here because Joe Shane is definitely a smart GM to the point where he has to have a plan at quarterback when Daniel Jones doesn't return in time for week one and that's a bitter pill to swallow for fans of the Giants currently and the question is how patient Mars will be. and tish is with this new new clear plan where it's okay, we're going to get to the line, the idea of ​​trying to take another step forward with Daniel Jones and Saquan, if we finish this, we're going to try. and win games three nothing 10 to 7 in the meantime and start rebuilding that offense around a new quarterback, that's what I find to catch the eyes of the
