The NFL world exploded on Monday. The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly agreed to terms with star running back Saquon Barkley. According to reports, he won't be with the New York Giants next year.
Giants star edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux reacted accordingly to one of his most talented teammates leaving for a division rival.

Thibodeaux was hurt by the move for Barkley, but he's happy that he is getting the compensation he deserves. The Giants were not interested in giving that to their RB. To be fair, it is pretty comical from the Giants defender.
A good laugh for fans in a tough period for their team - surely.
For New York, it is a decision that shows the impact of Daniel Jones' extension from last year. With less room to work from a front office perspective, Barkley did not get the response from the Giants that he was looking for over the past few months.
Now, he will join one of their biggest rivals to headline a dangerous offense.
