Giants general manager Joe Schoen was a guest on PFT Live at the Indianapolis Scout Factory on Tuesday and said one of his top priorities in his new job was to “put the cap in order” after decisions made over the past few years had left them. in a bad position on this front.
The appearance came on the same day he held a press conference that included a question about whether the team would be open to defending quarterback Sakwon Barkley. Barkley is poised to earn $ 7.217 million in his fifth year and is coming out three consecutive seasons marred by injuries.
In response, Sean reiterated that the team was not in “very good salary health”, saying it would “be open to situations that are best for the New York Giants”.
“We’re still working on it, but I’m open to everything,” Schoen told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. “Such as whether a player is exchanged for a player; I will listen to everyone. If several players are exchanged – I will not say the whole list, [that] we are open to work throughout the list. But if someone will call and is interested in any of our players. I will definitely listen. “
Although Schoen may be open to anything, there are some deals that are unlikely than others. He said he did not think Cadarius Tony’s first-round selection for 2021 was a “variable part” and other teams may not insist on giving up valuable assets for Barkley, given how things have turned out for him after his new season, but Schoen’s comments suggest that they should call the Giants if they are interested in making a move.
