Giants fans say the team should hold a fire sale
The 2023 NFL trade deadline has been the subject of significant discussion around the New York Giants. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the deadline is fast approaching and the team is stumbling to a 1-5 record amid a rash of injuries.
Almost everything that could have gone wrong for the Giants did. And now, the question of whether the Giants should embark on a complete rebuild has become an active topic across the NFL media landscape.
“SB Nation Reacts” developed the question of whether or not to trade Saquon Barkley from two weeks ago. This time, the question was whether or not the Giants should trade multiple assets at the trade deadline.
67 percent of Giants fans responded that the Giants should be “sellers” at the trade deadline.
It’s no surprise that nearly a quarter of fans believe the team should hold out until the trade deadline (22%), or even take action. For players (4%). There are still 11 games left on the Giants’ schedule and while the team’s path to the playoffs is narrow, it is not yet complete.
It’s a little surprising that only 7% of fans think Saquon Barkley should be the only player traded. 78% of respondents said he should be traded two weeks ago, suggesting that 74% of fans who responded to the poll still think he should be traded – but that the Giants shouldn’t stop there.
Interestingly, fan confidence has increased over the past two weeks, despite the desire to move on from several veterans.
This week, 59% of fans believe the team is heading in the right direction, up from 29% just two weeks ago. The increase in confidence is likely due to the performance of the Giants defense against the Miami Dolphins And Buffalo Bills during consecutive weeks.
