Saquon Barkley Could Sit Out NFL Week 1 If Extension Not Reached

by

At 4pm on July 17, the New York Giants will become unable to sign running back Saquon Barkley to a new contract until after the 2023 season. Barkley is currently set to play the 2023 season under the franchise tag after the Giants chose not to offer him a long-term extension. “Me getting tagged, was I upset about it? Nobody wants to get tagged,” Barkley in June. “To sit here and say I was frustrated, I was mad, I was upset, what really got me upset was the stories that got leaked out, how misleading they were, and how untruthful they were. I feel it was trying to paint a narrative of me, a picture of me, that is not even true. Not even close to being the truth.”

The contract deadlock comes during an offseason where Giants signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a $160 million extension. After being seen as a draft bust for much of his rookie contract, Jones led the Giants back to the playoffs last season. Barkley was drafted by the Giants in 2018, with the hype of a generational talent at the position. However, much of his career has been derailed by injury. In 2022, Barkley stayed healthy and recorded a career-high 1312 yards. However, now his career could be in peril for another reason.

Barkley Could Sit

If the deadline to sign Barkley to a longer deal passes, the 26-year-old has a big decision to make. Does he play under the tag or holdout for a bigger contract? According to ESPN‘s Dianna Russini, the latter is very much in play. “Saquon Barkley has made it clear the franchise tag is undesirable. I’m told his availability for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys will be in serious question if he does not get a long-term deal from the Giants,” Russini wrote on Twitter.

There have been a number of notable holdouts in the NFL in recent years. Deshaun Watson refused to play for the Texans due to disputes with the head office. However, that situation was also complicated by the first stirrings of the sexual misconduct scandal that Watson would become involved in 2022. Meanwhile, the last purely contract-motivated holdout was Le’Veon Bell in 2018. Bell left the Steelers after the 2018 season but his career nosedived. He played for four teams over the next three seasons and was out of the league before he turned 30. However, it’s hard to compare Barkley and Bell too much, given Bell’s notoriety.

New York Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux is making headlines for all the right reasons. After completing his first NFL season, the young defensive star is helping those who helped him. According to TMZ Sports, Thibodeaux has gifted his mother a brand new home. The amazing act of selflessness is further proof that his mother raised a good man. The former Oregon Duck shared the moment with his fans on his YouTube channel.

“When I was in high school, I had to live with another family,” Thibodeaux states in the video. “After that, I went to college … Five years of my life I never had dinner with my mom. We never sat at a table with my family, we never had a place for all the family to get together for Christmas and for holidays when the time came. Now being able to provide that is a blessing.” The video will give you every feeling of emotion that your mind can conjure. An incredible act of kindness that most definitely should be celebrated.

New York Giants Thibodeaux Shining On And Off The Field

Thibodeaux just finished up his rookie season with the Giants. A memorable season that has many fans excited for his future in the Big Apple. The former first-round pick appeared in fourteen games for the Giants this past season. Recording 4 sacks and one fumble returned for a touchdown. The young defensive end is an excellent pillar for this Giants organization to build their franchise around. The team just missed out on an NFC Playoff spot last season. But there is still a lot to be proud of.

The New York Giants have seemed to add a man of great character to their franchise. Athletes doing great things for their parents are stories that will never get old.

Stefon Diggs Tweets About Trade With One Potential Team

by

Stefon Diggs’ time with the Buffalo Bills looks to be reaching its end. The Buffalo receiver has seemingly let everyone know his thoughts on where he would like to be in the future. In Diggs’ last game with the Bills, he was visibly upset at the direction the offense was going. Videos of Diggs and Bills QB Josh Allen circulated on social media after the team’s loss to the Bengals in the playoffs. Now it seems as if Diggs is looking for a fresh start. A fresh start that still has him in the state of New York. But with a team that exemplifies the big city lifestyle.

Last Friday, Diggs tweeted, “Comeeeeee anddddd rescue me…” Which had NFL Twitter speculating that the Buffalo receiver is looking for a new home. Diggs has been no stranger to voicing his frustrations in Buffalo. The team can’t seem to get over the AFC Title game hump. The Bills franchise has long been known for not being able to win the big game. The team achieved four straight Super Bowl appearances in the 90s. Coming up short in each game.

Will Stefon Diggs Be Suiting Up For Another Team?

In addition to Diggs’ cryptic tweet, Dallas defensive standout Trevon Diggs replied. Trevon, who is the brother of Stefon, mentioned the two could play each other twice a year. Trevon’s comments could only mean one thing. That being that, the elder Diggs is interested in joining the NFC East. However, which of the three NFC Est options would be viable to Diggs? The New York Giants are in the market for a top receiver. A move to another New York team seems like the most likely landing spot.

Only time will tell if Diggs will be on another roster before the start of the 2023 season. While Buffalo would like to keep Diggs, the team may not have a choice. Keeping a disgruntled player will only create tension inside the locker room. Buffalo still believes they are a top contender in the AFC. Losing Stefon Diggs would be a massive blow to the franchise. Will Diggs be in a different uniform next season? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below. For the latest happenings in the NFL, stay here at HNHH.

Michael B. Jordan Teams Up With Eli Manning To Recreate Famous OBJ Catch

by

Eli Manning is perhaps the most legendary player in the history of the New York Giants. Although he was by no means the best quarterback in the league, he was able to win two Super Bowls. Fans of the Giants look back fondly on his time with the team, especially since he beat the Patriots in two different championship games. At this point, many are just waiting to find out if he will ever be placed into the Hall Of Fame. Some believe he doesn’t deserve it, however, there are plenty of others out there who see it in his future.

Overall, Manning is still a legend and that will not change. He is loved in New York City, and he has plenty of celebrity fans. One such person is Michael B. Jordan, who grew up as a Giants fan. According to TMZ, Manning linked up with MBJ for The Eli Manning Show, which is part of the Giants’ media offering. The two met at the Giants’ facility where Jordan got to dress up in full Giants gear. Subsequently, he got to catch passes from Manning.

Eli Manning x MBJ

In the video clip up above, you can see Manning and Jordan recreating the iconic one-handed grab by Odell Beckham Jr. This is widely regarded as one of the greatest catches in the entire history of the NFL. Consequently, you can imagine just how excited Jordan was to recreate it with an iconic quarterback. However, as you will see, Jordan had to grab it with two hands. At this point, his coordination is not up to par with the professionals. Either way, it was a cool moment for him, as well as Manning who is the man behind that infamous pass.

While the Giants have been bad as of late, they were back to winning ways this season. Overall, it was a solid year that Manning and Jordan could be proud of. Daniel Jones is playing well enough to win, and he is in for a big payday. Needless to say, bright days are ahead for the New York Giants franchise. Whether or not this is maintained, remains to be seen.

The former Saturday Night Live member has been noticeably absent from Instagram since 2018. Since then, he has returned before quickly disappearing again on a couple of instances. 

Davidson split with Kim Kardashian earlier this year after a nine-month fling. Although brief, it was reported that he had already gotten a couple tattoos dedicated to her and her kids. He had previously gotten some ink dedicated to the reality star that read “My Girl Is A Lawyer.”

Just a number of months later, he has been in the news yet again for his alleged newest partner. Although it’s yet to be officially confirmed, the newest rumours are that he’s now dating model Emily Ratajkowski. The pair further sparked the possibility of their romance when they were spotted courtside at a Knicks game just a couple weeks ago.

Pete’s Dating History

Ratajkowski has recently gone through a split as well. She was married to film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard from 2018 until the pair divorced this year. A constant topic of conversation throughout Davidson’s career has been his dating history. As a result of the popular women he’s been with, social media has had a field day debating how his track record is possible.

As for the unexpected duo’s new joint Instagram page, it will certainly be interesting to see if they keep up with it.

Saquon Barkley Set to Return to Practice for the New York Giants

The New York Giants are in cap space hell. One way to get out of that situation could be trading away Saquon Barkley.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen indicated Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that trading the former No. 2 overall pick is not off the table, though that’s the case for most players on the Giants’ roster.

“We’re still working through that, but I’m open to anything. Like whether it’s trading player for player. I’ll listen to anybody,” Schoen told reporters. “I’m not going to say we’re open for business on our entire roster. But if anybody is going to call and they’re interested in any of our players, I’ll certainly listen. 

“We’re in a situation where unfortunately we have to get under the salary cap and we’re not in very good salary cap health. I’m not going to say yes to every deal, but I’m definitely going to listen and be open to situations that are best for the New York Giants.”

 Barkley is owed $7.2 million in guaranteed cash in 2022, the fifth and final year of his rookie deal if the Giants don’t see Barkley helping an already struggling offense in 2022, moving off of him while he still has some value might be best for the long term reboot of the franchise.
