The New York Giants had a difficult time replacing Saquon Barkley's locker room presence after he joined the Philadelphia Eagles.

Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reported Saturday that Barkley's "vocal leadership in difficult times was missed" in New York during the 2024 season.

After spending the first six years of his career with the Giants, the 27-year-old signed a three-year contract worth $37.75 million with the Eagles in March 2024.
