NFL fans reacted to a significant report on the New York Giants’ plans with running back Saquon Barkley ahead of the upcoming trade deadline on Oct. 31. Barkley has been rumored as a potential player the Giants could trade before the deadline.
The 1-5 Giants appear to be sellers at the deadline. The Giants, who didn’t sign Barkley to a long-term contract this offseason, could trade the star running back to help in other more critical parts of their offense.
According to Dianna Russini with The Athletic, the Giants are looking to keep Barkley:
“New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley told reporters at his locker Friday, “Sitting here, everyone knows how I feel. Everyone knows I don’t want to get traded. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would want to get traded anywhere. It’s not an easy thing to do.
"You have to move. I have a family. I would love to be here. But like I said, it’s not in my control. My focus is to be the leader I can be for this team and get this thing on the right track.”
"He’ll probably get what he wants. I was told the Giants aren’t planning on moving him.”
NFL fans reacted to Russini’s report on social media. The decision on what to do with Barkley is controversial among Giants fans.
Some fans think the Giants are wise to keep Barkley through the offseason. Others think giving in to a running back coming off an injury is misguided.
Here are the best takes of the Giants' decision on Barkley.
If he wants to stay in New York and potentially win some big games he could go to the Buffalo bills.

Should. They won’t get much for letting him walk.
