Devin Singletary ready to 'put it on the line' for Giants
The biggest New York Giants headline of this past offseason was the departure of running back Saquon Barkley.
Although Barkley's departure stings Giants fans given his destination of the division rival, Philadelphia Eagles, letting the star running back walk in free agency may have been the right move.
In Barkley's place, the Giants signed steady veteran Devin Singletary, even giving him Barkley's No. 26.
Even though Singletary said a few weeks back he isn't feeling any pressure to replace Barkley, the storyline isn't going away. The question persists and Singletary remains ever-confident.
"I'm coming to show you week-in and week-out how I put it on the line for my guys on the left and right of me," Singletary told Tyler Dunne of Go Long TD. "I'm going to just go all out every time. You're going to get the most out of me every time. They'll find out soon enough."
Singletary is coming off a career year in 2023 and certainly believes in himself to be a playmaker. He also received praise from an NFL executive earlier this offseason who said Singletary will produce as much as Barkley.
Singletary may very well thrive given the Giants' improved offensive line and defenses being locked in on Malik Nabers. Barkley is also joining an offense with a lot of mouths to feed and his long history of injuries can't be ignored.
Ultimately, if the offense is clicking and the Giants are winning games, the move to let Barkley walk will be quickly forgotten. Winning cures everything, especially for a fan base who has been waiting for this Giants team to turn a corner.
