The Saquon Barkley documentary dropped on Prime Video — the same day the Giants faced the Eagles in Week 6 — and it’s a rollercoaster. As a die-hard Giants fan, I break down the real story behind Saquon’s exit, the front office dysfunction, the fallout with Giants General Manager Joe Schoen and owner John Mara, and whether the Giants ever had a shot at keeping him.

This episode of Giant Mess covers:

  • My unfiltered thoughts on the Saquon doc
  • Why Giants fans are torn between love and betrayal

  • The real reason Barkley left — and why it hurts more that he chose the Eagles

  • How the Giants botched contract talks

  • Whether Saquon actually wanted to be a Giant for life

  • The emotional toll of losing a generational player
