Barkley Documentary, Jones’ Surge Intensify Scrutiny of Giants’ Leadership

New footage shows John Mara rejecting Saquon Barkley’s 2023 trade request, prompting fresh questions about the Giants’ decision-making.

Overview

  • Prime Video’s “Saquon” shows Barkley asking for permission to seek a trade in 2023, and John Mara refusing by calling him too valuable to the franchise.
  • Amazon’s pregame panel featured Richard Sherman criticizing the Giants for letting Barkley depart and questioning general manager Joe Schoen’s job security.
  • After leaving New York, Barkley won Offensive Player of the Year and a Super Bowl with Philadelphia in 2024, though he has 211 rushing yards on 75 carries with three touchdowns through five games in 2025.
  • Daniel Jones said his post-Giants stops elevated his preparation, and he is now excelling with the Colts under coach Shane Steichen.
  • Indianapolis leads the NFL in points per drive and ranks second in points per game, with Jones posting a 2.6% sack rate this season per Pro Football Reference.
