The Giants and Andrew Thomas reportedly agreed to a massive five-year, $117.5 million contract extension while Boomer and Gio were live on the air on Wednesday morning.
The instant reaction ranged from praise for former GM Dave Gettleman, and sorrow for Saquon Barkley, who had to settle for a one-year deal that barely pays more than the franchise tag.
“That was a great draft pick by Dave Gettleman,” Boomer said. “All these draft picks are re-signing.”
“If I am Saquon Barkley, I want to quit,” Jerry said. “I am furious right now. You gotta be kidding me. He’s the best player on the team!”
Gio also couldn’t help but feel bad for Barkley, who just reported to training camp that same morning.
“He’s seen Dexter Lawrence get four years, $90 million,” Gio said. “Daniel Jones, four years, $160 million, and Andrew Thomas get five years and $117.5 million. Wrong place, wrong time for Saquon Barkley.”
