Saquon Barkley FA could end with the Chicago Bears.

It reminded me that supporting a rookie QB1 goes beyond just a WR, OL and TE.  A strong defense and a running game threat that scares opposing defenses - would ALSO help the rookie succeed.  It is the whole package of support.

The Giants look like a total train wreck to me as a franchise.  Barkley is young.  He just turned 27 last month.  Yes, he is high-mileage.  But as the article pointed out, he still has talent to offer a team.  He'd be a very nice fit in a Shane Waldron offense.  How high would I bid for him?  Well, he made $10m last season.  I'll bet it would be mighty attractive to come to the Caleb Williams' Bears on a multi-year contract.  Not a 1 year deal.  Maybe I'd go with a three-year contract worth $33 million.  I'm considering he is high-mileage for his age and has some injury history.  Anyway, that contract would take him to age 30.  The Bears are talking Super Bowl now (crazy but true) and that would take them to (and even beyond) that SB ready milestone we've talked about here.

Wasn't he pretty mediocre last year? I'd be more interested in Tony Pollard. Younger with more tread on the tires. Seems more consistent as well.

I think Barkley is not even close to what he was. Too many injuries and a shell of his former self. I woudn't give him that much dough.
