With Saquon Barkley leaving for the Eagles, the Giants pivoted by adding an impact pass rusher in Brian Burns in addition to offensive line help, along with replacing Barkley with Devin Singletary.
Those moves prove to C-Mac that Joe Schoen has the rebuilding Giants on the right track.
“Joe Schoen understands the NFL in 2024,” C-Mac said. “I don’t know if the moves are gonna be successful. I don’t know if this rebuild is gonna turn the team around…but what I do know is, his thought process is correct. What the Giants did [Monday] was smart roster building, smart money and draft picks, allocation of assets in building a team.
“As good as those players are…the money [Xavier McKinney] got in Green Bay was not worth it for a team that’s in its roster-building beginnings. This is a rebuild.”
By Barkley leaving, C-Mac says the Giants have shed themselves of a big mistake they made years ago by taking Barkley second overall, and it’s time to move on to bigger and better things.
“We saw Dave Gettleman not recognizing where the NFL was going, and what kind of roster he had,” C-Mac said. “Not recognizing that he needed foundational pieces to reset this team and build for the future. Instead, he drafted a running back second overall.”
