A blockbuster trade proposal has the New York Giants sending superstar running back Saquon Barkley to an up-and-coming NFC club.

The 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year has refused to sign the franchise tag. The Giants have until July 17 to reach an agreement on a long-term deal with Barkley. If the two sides remain far apart on contract talks, GM Joe Schoen may have no choice but to deal the franchise star.

At NFL Analysis Network, Kenneth Teape proposed a blockbuster trade idea that would see the Giants send Barkley to the Chicago Bears in exchange for 2024 third and fourth-round picks (the latter via the Philadelphia Eagles), and a 2025 second-rounder that Chicago got from the Carolina Panthers:

“Adding Barkley to a backfield with (Justin) Fields would create major headaches for opposing defensive coordinators as the Bears were the No. 1 rushing team in the NFL last season without a running back as dynamic as him. Adding Barkley, (D.J.) Moore and (Robert) Tonyan to an offense already with Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool and Cole Kmet will take the Bears to heights they haven’t approached often in the last few decades.”
