Saquon Barkley throws slight dig at Giants at Super Bowl Opening Night

For all of the 2024 season, New York Giants fans have been tortured by watching Saquon Barkley take a rival team to Super Bowl 59. But the star running back did try to help his old team find a new quarterback — sort of.

Soon-to-be free agent quarterback Jameis Winston is serving as a correspondent for Fox Sports Digital ahead of the Super Bowl, and he was among the media members at Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday. Always hilarious, Winston asked Barkley what team should sign him in free agency this offseason. The Eagles running back had the perfect response.

‘I think New York needs a quarterback right now,’ Barkley said.

Winston asked which New York team, and Barkley responded the Giants.

It might have been some good advice from Barkley, but it was certainly a jab at his former team that infamously let him go. Barkley has poked fun at his former’s team decision. On ‘Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants,’ Giants owner John Mara said he wouldn’t be able to sleep if Barkley went to Philadelphia, and Barkley had some fun with Mara’s comments in an advertisement for Unisom, a sleep aid.

However, the Giants do have to address the quarterback problem. They did release franchise quarterback Daniel Jones after a dismal tenure, and New York couldn’t find consistent quarterback play en route to a 3-14 regular season. New York does own the No. 3 pick in the 2025 draft and could draft a quarterback, but Winston might be an option.
