Giants Stun NFL by Trading Star Running Back Saquon Barkley to Unexpected NFC Team in Major Deal Proposal.
After dropping four out of their initial five games this season, the New York Giants seem set to make moves before the Oct. 31 NFL trade deadline.
Should GM Joe Schoen decide to trade, the prime asset many will have their eyes on is undoubtedly star running back Saquon Barkley. Negotiations faltered on a long-term deal with Barkley, setting him up for potential free agency come spring. If Barkley is put up for trade soon, numerous teams will be vying for him. One NFC team, in particular, appears to be an ideal destination for the Penn State alum.
With Baker Mayfield at the helm, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are enjoying an unexpected 3-1 beginning, even with their subpar average rushing yardage of 87 per game. If their playoff aspirations remain intact approaching the deadline, a Barkley acquisition would be a wise move.
In a separate surprise, the Raiders Propose a Blockbuster Trade sending Star Pass-Rusher Maxx Crosby to a Super Bowl Hopeful. A potential deal could look something like this: The Bucs receive Barkley, offering in return a 2024 third-round pick and running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn. This seems like a balanced trade considering Barkley's injury history and nearing the end of his contract. While Vaughn hasn't seen significant playtime with the Bucs since his rookie year in 2020, a coach with an offensive mindset like Brian Daboll might bring out his best. In this scenario, Vaughn serves as an interim replacement for Barkley, who'd relish the chance to compete with a playoff-bound team.
