Former New York Giants running back, Tiki Barber, has stirred up controversy with his recent comments regarding Saquon Barkley’s decision to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles.
During a local sports radio show, Barber referred to Barkley as being “dead to us” for joining the Giants’ NFC East rival. These comments quickly made their way onto social media, where fans and followers alike expressed their opinions on the matter.
In response, Barkley took to social media to defend his choice and call out Barber for what he described as being a “hater” since his time with the Giants. Despite the backlash, Barkley made sure to thank Giants fans for their support over his six seasons with the team.

As the buzz surrounding Barkley’s move continues to circulate, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact his reputation among Giants fans and the NFL community as a whole. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
