Saquon Barkley




Written By: Carmine Tuosto, of Swish Tribune

We are just around the corner from the 2023-2024 NFL Season. There are only a few players that haven't signed contracts. Saquon Barkley was a star running back for the New York Giants this year. He ran for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns. 

During the offseason, Saquon didn't participate in the Mandatory Minicamp. It was known that Saquon Barkley turned down a contract offer worth $12.5 million during the 2022 season.


Bob Brookover of NJ Advance Media reported that the Giants increased their offer to $13 million with an additional $1 million in incentives shortly after he declined the first offer. He also declined this offer too. 


I obviously think that Saquon is a big part of the team, but losing him for the upcoming seasons won't hurt us as much as expected. He isn’t the only player with a lot of value on this team. Andrew Thomas has the potential to be a top left tackle for years to come. Same with Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams as Interior Defensive Lineman.


The Giants also heavily upgraded their skill positions on offense with young players still developing, and added a huge player for our secondary, Deonte Banks. They also added a great MLB Boddy Okereke, boosted the DLine, and drafted the best center in the draft.


The backup RB, Matt Breida, had a solid first season with the Giants. With only 54 attempts, having 220 yards was definitely big for him. He averaged 4.1 a carry which is great for a backup running back. I think he can get the job done for the Giants as the RB1 in the upcoming season.

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

Image
 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown.
