This season's installment of HBO's "Hard Knocks" has given fans an inside look at the New York Giants' offseason roster building, with a focus on GM Joe Schoen's negotiations with star running back Saquon Barkley.

Despite Barkley's desire to be a "Giant for life," he ultimately opted to sign a lucrative deal with the NFC East-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Schoen's decision to let Barkley test the market rather than franchise tagging him reflects a desire to handle negotiations more transparently. As Barkley heads to Philadelphia, questions remain for the Giants as they prepare for the upcoming season.
