2024 is a season the New York Giants will want to forget.
They had to watch a franchise great, Saquon Barkley, leave in free agency ahead of the season and join a divisional rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley then went on to have the best season of his career, setting new career highs with 2,005 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns.
He has now been named the 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and played a pivotal role in helping the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX.

This nightmare for the Giants won't be going away anytime soon, and at the end of the day, they don't have anyone to blame but themselves for letting a player and person like Saquon walk out the door.
