As another Tuesday has passed, another episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” premiered. Unlike the traditional “Hard Knocks,” which covers training camp, this season dives into the Giants’ offseason, meaning viewers are getting access to how teams function during free agency and the NFL Draft.
Tuesday night’s episode removed the curtain on former Giant Saquon Barkley’s free agency saga.
Barkley had spent the last six seasons in New York after the Giants drafted him with the second overall pick in 2018. During his tenure, he racked up 5,211 rushing yards along with 2,100 receiving yards and 47 touchdowns. In those six years, Barkley was far and away the team’s best player.
