War awaits Saquon Barkley — and his ex-Giants teammates won’t hold anything back
NY Post
Dexter Lawrence won’t be showing any mercy to Saquon Barkley, star Eagles running back, when they collide Sunday at 1 at MetLife Stadium. There are certain to be Giants fans who won’t either.
“I think he did a lot of good for this organization, but we got some tough fans and they’re gonna bring him in however they feel it’s right by them,” Lawrence said. “I appreciate what he did for this organization and who he was as a teammate and a person to me, most importantly.
“But Sunday is war and he knows that.”
He knows that because he was at Lawrence’s wedding in June.
“I told him that whenever we play it’s war, and he knows that,” Lawrence said.
There were some Giants fans who called him “Snaquon” Barkley when he flew the coop to land with the hated Eagles. There were some who called him traitor.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
