"Giants Owner's Regret Over Saquon Barkley's Eagles Move"

New York Giants owner John Mara expressed his disappointment after star running back Saquon Barkley chose to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency, admitting that he "hated" seeing Barkley go to their NFC East rival. Mara texted Barkley to convey his feelings and also expressed his displeasure to GM Joe Schoen. Despite the Giants' previous contract offers, Barkley ultimately signed a three-year deal with the Eagles, prompting Mara to acknowledge that the organization needs to accept the outcome. Barkley, who apologized for not handling his departure from the Giants properly, had been a standout player for the team since being drafted in 2018.
