Will The New York Giants Make A Bold Trade Of Saquon Barkley?
NFL fans are looking toward the upcoming trade deadline set for next Tuesday, November 1st. This is the last chance for teams to make any kind of moves when it comes to their roaster. Though will anyone take the chance? Perhaps the Giants will.
They currently stand as one of the leading teams in the NFC as well as the NFL as a whole. But is that enough to bring them to their long-awaited Superbowl dreams? With pressure looming over rookie coach Joe Schoen a question remains for the team.
According to NJ.com Will Schoen may trade current running back Saquon Barkley, in an attempt to secure a more confident spot in next year’s draft? Excuse me you wanna run that one by me again?

Looking at just this the answer should be an obvious no. Barkley is one of the top leading running backs of the season only currently being topped by Nick Chubb from the Browns. Getting rid of such a vital resource would not go over well both on and off the field. However, that’s exactly why Schoen might consider such a bold move. Barkley’s overall trade value is at its highest and taking advantage of the chance may help the Giants in the long run when it comes to Quarterbacks.
Nothing against current QB Daniel Jones, but he is currently ranked 11th in terms of QBs according to NFL.com. Despite playing amazing on the field by not turning the ball over and making critical passes. In terms of his stats, he’s considered below the middle of the pack with a competition percentage of 66.7 and 1223 passing yards. But as far as experience goes, the Giants are having one of their best seasons since 2012. Putting their hopes of reaching the playoffs which they haven’t done since 2016 one step closer. So, any kind of drastic changes might upset that balance that Jones and Barkley have, but can couch Schoen really put his faith in Jones to carry the team for not only this season, but the next few to come?

With him losing players like Sterling and others being questionable. The pressure will be critical for their next few games. Though while the likely hood of Barley being traded is low. There are other players that might be on the chopping block. As a tight end, Daniel Bellinger is scheduled for surgery after sustaining an injury during their game against the Jaguars. So, with him being possibly out for the rest of the season. The Giants may be in desperate need if they want to keep up the pressure against their next match against the Seahawks and then the Cowboys who gave them their only loss of the season.
13 Tailgating Essentials You Can’t Skip Out On
Pop Up Canopy
You need a pop-up canopy. Trust me, if you’re trying to talk yourself out of it for any reason I highly recommend having one. The pop-up canopy tent will help keep you out of the sun and rain in the event it happens. Sitting in the sun during the tailgate and then again when you’re in the stadium, while you’re drinking, is a bad combo. It tends to result in dehydration and possible medical issues. Keep yourself and your food in the shade.
Inflatable Coolers
I have two options on this list for you for keeping food and drinks cold! The first are these inflatable coolers. They work well for keeping things like pasta salad or other cold food items that you want out when you’re tailgating.
Crock Pot
All hail the Crock Pot! Whether it’s sloppy joes, buffalo chicken dip, or some other warm yummy goodness the crock pot is one of my favorite tailgating essentials. You and I both know you’re going to be eating before the game, so keep your food warm with an easy slow cooker!
Portable Power Station
Anytime I’ve gone tailgating and needed power I have always relied on a portable generator of some kind. This power station is solar–powered and has a pure Sine Wave AC outlet (110V 200W 400W Peak), 2* USB-A ports (5V, 2.4A), and 1* 12V DC carport. So you can make sure your phone and other essentials stay charged without having to turn your car on.
Camping Table with Storage
Not only is this a great tailgating essential, but it can be used anytime you go camping! I love having a camping table like this while I’m tailgating because it gives you a spot for storage for things like plates and plasticware, as well as a spot to lay out all the food!
Bluetooth Speaker
You will want a Bluetooth speaker. You’re going to want to avoid using your car’s sound system for your tailgating playlist because you might end up needing a jump after the game. This JBL speaker is one of my favorites. It’s waterproof and the sound quality/volume level is pretty great! It comes in 12 different color choices too.
A Cooler with Ample Space
Most people tailgate in a group, which means lots of food and drinks. To keep all of that cold, I recommend getting a cooler with a good amount of storage space. This 62–quart cooler from Coleman holds up to 95 cans! It can also double as a seat when you’re not reaching in to grab things.
Clear Crossbody Bag
For all of my friends out there who need a bag, a clear crossbody bag is the way to go. A lot of stadiums have restrictions nowadays that say you need a clear bag. This one has an adjustable strap and will fit your wallet, keys, phone, sanitizer, masks, basically everything you might want to take into the stadium with you.
Condiment Caddy
Hotdogs and hamburgers are the staple food of tailgating. They’re quick, easy, and delicious. But if you’re like me I’m sure you love adding a few condiments to your burgers and dogs. This condiment caddy has five spots for whatever you need chilled and includes tongs and serving spoons. The best part is that the compartment below is designed so you can put it all on ice!
Food Caddies
I tend to avoid paper plates when I’m tailgating and it’s usually because they never hold enough for me. These food caddies are great because there is a compartment for your drink and they’re foldable, so once you’re done using it you can fold it right up.
Portable Grill
You can’t forget the grill. Having a portable grill for your tailgating is huge! This charcoal tabletop grill is easy to use and easy to carry. Plus it will make a great addition to your camping gear.
Storage Drawers
Okay if you’ve never thought about storage drawers for your tailgating essentials I can’t wait to open your mind to it! These are so great for storage. I’m talking about how you can put all of your grill gear, condiments, paperware, speaker, etc. In these convenient drawers. It makes packing so much easier too.
Cornhole
And you can’t forget the cornhole boards! Playing cornhole before the game is a ton of fun and if you’re looking for a way to make sure you kill time before the game, this is the way to go.
