Giants deny Donald Trump's claim he told team to keep Saquon Barkley: We had 'no conversations' with President
During the Philadelphia Eagles ' visit to the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump claimed he tried to help the New York Giants avoid what has come to be viewed by most people in and around the NFL as a serious blunder: Allowing running back Saquon Barkley to sign with the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Giants say President Donald Trump never talked to team about letting Saquon Barkley walk in free agency
The Giants went 3-14 and still found their way to the White House with the Super Bowl champion Eagles on Monday. President Donald Trump claimed during the Eagles’ visit — which did not include quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts — that he told the Giants not to let Saquon Barkley leave in free agency last offseason.
Philadelphia's running back achieved a lifelong goal well before he raised the Lombardi Trophy back in February.
The NFL's 2025 schedule release isn't until May 14, but the New York Giants' opponents have already been confirmed.
After being drafted in 2018, Saquon Barkley looked to be one of the premier running backs of the future. With New York, he shone in his rookie season, totaling 15 TDs and 2,028 yards from scrimmage.
