How may sites claimed to have inside information we were going to draft Parsons this year. It is Bull S###. I’m saying even if it does happen, is he worth a damn anymore? He is 36. What do you think? Come on vet you are too intelligent to be sucked into this makes no sense internet fodder.

Did anybody else hear about this? They are thinking about signing him because they are afraid Barkley isn’t going to be ready? F that! Can he still run? I say one thing, if Barkley isn’t going to be ready then we need to start thinking about parting ways…which is going to suck because there’s just never enough time to get things going. Flashback to Dave Wilson, Kenny Phillips….different situations, but still. Damn it! Did you read the article? There are no rumors about the Giants signing Adrian Peterson, nor are they even thinking about it. there are rumors but how true they are is open to validation, could be a sports writer fanning the flame of a speculation..

Speculation is what fuels sports "writers." I read the NY Post sports section every morning and every morning (well maybe 3 times a week ) there is speculation about yet another player who the Knicks are interested in.......now, in the off season or at the end of his current contract. I stopped reading them. It is just a bunch of blah, blah, blah. I don't begrudge them for trying to fill space. That's their job. They will always write stuff with catchy titles. We are not obligated to read it.

I personally think that he could still help a team. He obviously isn't anywhere near his prime, but he played OK for Washington two years ago and Detroit last year. Our backfield is too crowded for him or anyone else. We have at least 4 on our team with at least one of them headed to the PS.

Even if they do sign him, why is this a big deal? Are people really that worried about guys like Ryquel Armstead and Corey Clement being pushed off the roster?
He would come dirt cheap, and dirty little secret, Peterson can still play.
I can definitely see them looking to add more competition at the position if it looks like Barkley will start on the PUP. Booker has a very long injury history, Armstead and Clement have no history of leading a backfield. Peterson you know would bring a base level of competency.
Though frankly, if they wanted that level of security they should have just kept Gallman.

Me I do not want to cut someone to free up money and give a 36 year old running back a roster spot . In both of those terms .To me that is a big deal. But is moot anyway . This has been circulating for over a week. The Giants have not gave a invitation for a workout.

There is no point in doing it now, it's a move you make only if issues come up in camp. But I'm not concerned on the money end. He isn't going to demand a lot of money, and they wont be needing to cut anyone important to make space for him. Not particularly advocating for the move, but just pointing out that this would be a really low level move at this point.

Also saw a blip on BBV that there is a slight trade rumor Gilmore for a 3rd.
Why?

That type of money could be found in 5 minutes while management gets shit faced hammering down shots.

Me I do not want to give up a roster spot for him. If they do it, it's because a roster spot has likely opened up if Barkley goes on the PUP. That's probably the only scenario they make the move, other than Booker getting injured. That's why I characterized it as a move they would only make later in the offseason. His age is irrelevant when we would only use him for 1 season. The dude can still play well and would be able to stabilize the position as an emergency fallback option. If it came down to relying on Ryquel Armstead or Adrian Peterson to be your primary RB week 1, who do you feel more secure with that role?

I don't know why they think that that's a good idea. Yeah,let's throw away more 3rd round picks for aging vets at a deep position where we have taken players the past 2 years in the 3rd and 4th and have a decent bottom of roster guy in Yiadom (who is now a very good baseline for last guy at that spot as he steadily improved to "OK,if he has to play for an extended time we can survive "status ) Better idea See my last mock (spoiler alert,I manipulated the draft to where I think we end up this year,solid playoff team where Jones emerges and the line gells to a good unit while tbe Bears have a top 5 pick) Grab Stingley if he is there..yeah you want your top 5 pick to be an instant day one impact starter but corners are probably the one position these days that need training wheels and not thrown in tbe deep end day one..as we have seen the past few years including Okukdah last year who many through wouldn't be like that).. He gets rotated in and he replaces Bradberry when he walks in 2023.. Having all these early/mid round picks on a young ascending team is how dynasties are built even in the modern era We ane not at the stage yet where we need a stop gap guy at tbe end of a championship window with a big cap number

I see a 90% Barkley being better than a 100% 36 year old AP. We have Brightwell and Booker to lighten the load when needed. Barkley, Booker and Brightwell The B Amigos.

Is Barkley definitely out for the first few weeks? I haven’t heard definitive reports.
