New Eagles running back\u00a0Saquon Barkley\u00a0was in attendance at Thursday’s Game 6 between the 76ers and Knicks in Philadelphia and heard a loud chorus of boos from the thousands of New York fans that made the trip.<\/p>\n

The reason for the poor response, of course, is that Barkley left the Giants this offseason and signed a new contract with one of their fiercest division rivals.<\/p>\n

Barkley took to social media after the game and could not believe New York fans were still angry about the decision two months later and booing him at a basketball game in his new town.<\/p>\n

When a Giants fan responded that he should expect it for bailing on New York, Barkley responded by saying he was never given an offer from the Giants to re-sign with the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While it might be true that the Giants did not try to retain Barkley this offseason, they made repeated efforts to keep him on a long-term contract extension before that, including while he was franchise-tagged before the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

When Barkley is healthy, he’s one of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL and can be a game-changer. Giants fans will undoubtedly hate seeing him twice a year.<\/p>\n

But it is also worth noting that two months is not that long of a time period for fans’ anger to boil. That light response is nothing compared to what he is going to hear the first time he appears at MetLife Stadium wearing green.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
