LOL @ letting Barkley walk for cheap money but hamstringing your organization to this guy for stupid money.

Remind me next time we complain about Loomis...............yikes.

It seems they really chose Brian Burns over Barkley since they had plenty of capacity to sign Barkley otherwise. At the same time, they helped to end the narrative that any RB is as good as another. RB's are starting to get paid again, and I think that trend continues.

Coincidentally, the Giants drafted their current starting RB with the fifth round pick acquired in that trade for Burns, but Tracy isn't (and will never be) Barkley.
