The latest episode of 'Hard Knocks' showed that the Giants never made Saquon Barkley an offer before losing him in free agency, as well as the extensive process to acquire Brian Burns.
It's not often that you're able to see a team lose a franchise star in real time, but the latest episode of 'Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants' depicted just that. Moments ahead of the start of free agency, Giants general manager Joe Schoen circled back with Saquon Barkley's agent, Ed Berry, to see if they would still allow New York to match any offer the star running back got.
After losing two franchise cornerstones on the first day of free agency, the Giants were able to add one, but not without some haggling. The Giants checked back in on acquiring standout edge rusher Brian Burns, who was franchise-tagged by the Carolina Panthers, so they'd have to trade for him. New York was granted permission to negotiate a deal with Burns, and the two sides came to terms, agreeing to a five-year, $141 million deal with $87.5 million guaranteed.
