00:00 Sequon Barkley and Tiki Barber have gone back and forth.
00:04 Some Giants fans aren't happy that he left the Meadowlands in favor of Philadelphia.
00:09 Look, I mean, I get it.
00:10 They're division rivals and that's the one team that might upset Giants fans.
00:14 But you could argue that the Giants are better off and
00:17 also Sequon tried to reach an agreement with the team, it didn't work out.
00:21 >> Yes, I don't care what the fans think because it's not like
00:26 there hasn't been an attempt on both sides to try to get a deal done.
00:30 It just didn't work out.
00:32 But Philly was willing to pay, probably more than I would have paid.
00:37 And I'm saying that as a Eagles fan, but Philly was willing to pay.
00:39 He finally got his money, $26 million guaranteed, $37 million,
00:43 go up to $46 million, I guess, with incentives.
00:47 So they have nothing to complain about.
00:49 I just feel like, first of all, what do you mad about?
00:51 Sequon wasn't gonna change the fact that that's a decrepit franchise.
00:55 Y'all been in decrepit franchise with Sequon on the team.
00:57 So it's just like, no, let him go off the greener pastures, no pun intended.
01:01 >> Well, Devin Singletary has produced at the same level of Sequon Barkley in
01:05 recent years and it's gonna cost a lot less.
01:07 I'm interested to see how he does with the Eagles because you won't be able to,
01:12 if you're the opposing team, put all the focus on stopping Sequon.
01:16 He's just gonna have to improve as a receiver to really thrive.
01:19 >> I don't even think he has to do that.
01:21 For what it's worth, that offense is so potent.
01:24 In years past, that offense has ran through AJ, Devontae, and Dallas Gutter.
01:28 Now you got a really good running back, which is fantastic.
01:31 It was just like, Sequon, just be you.
01:33 You don't gotta be nothing special.
01:34 We're not handing you the keys to the offense.
01:36 Just fit in.
01:37 So for him, it's all gonna work.
