New York Giants owner John Mara told GM Joe Schoen how he felt if Saquon Barkley signed in Philadelphia. Here's what he said.
The New York Giants aren't the only team regretting having missed out on Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley this season.
New York Giants co-owner John Mara is living a nightmare as the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders have taken control of the NFC.
The electric Philadelphia running back is the biggest bargain in pro sports.
In an episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks, New York Giants co-owner John Mara joked to his front office personnel that he “might have a tough time sleeping” if Barkley joined the rival Eagles.
Saquon Barkley wanted to stay with the New York Giants, the team that had made him the No. 2 pick in the 2018 draft. But they let him walk.

In the Giants, Schoen has found an ownership group in the Mara and Tisch families that appear to blame their problems more on Daboll, the head coach.
“It was fun to be out there and see the confetti and things you envision, but the most special thing about it was being out there with my family,” Barkley said. “I know I’ve never been there, but I’ve been there so many times in my head.” This, the celebration, the shot at a Super Bowl, was why Barkley signed with the Eagles, he said.
