Thibodeaux Criticizes Giants' Financial Decisions, Advocates for Barkley

Comments spark debate over team's priorities and potential locker room dissension.

Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux expressed his belief that running back Saquon Barkley should have been paid before quarterback Daniel Jones.
Thibodeaux's comments, made on the “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast, have brought the Giants' financial decisions into the spotlight.
Thibodeaux pointed out that Barkley was responsible for at least 30% of the Giants' explosive plays in 2022, the year they won a playoff game.
Barkley, a two-time Pro Bowler, is a free agent and has made it clear he doesn't want the franchise tag.
Thibodeaux's comments could potentially lead to dissension in the locker room if the Giants' management is not forthcoming with a deal for Barkley.
