Michael Strahan needles Joe Schoen with ex-Giants stars powering Eagles and Packers

Former Giants great Michael Strahan couldn’t fight the urge to take a sH๏τ at current Giants general manager Joe Schoen on Fox.

The comment came during the network’s NFL coverage on Sunday as the playoffs continued with the Eagles’ 22-10 win over the Packers – two teams with ex-Giants on their roster – squared off in the divisional round. 

The Giants let defensive back Xavier McKinney and star running back Saquon Barkley walk during the offseason, with Barkley’s departure making the biggest headlines. 

Barkley has since rushed for over 2,000 yards with the Eagles this season and helped lead the team to a NFC East тιтle. 

That led to Strahan taking the dig at the Giants on national television. 

“Thank you New York Giants cause you let [McKinney] go and you let Barkley go. Well done,” Strahan said.

The decision to let Barkley walk has been a cloud that’s loomed over the Giants in 2024 as Big Blue went 3-14 and missed out on a chance to make the No. 1 overall pick April’s NFL draft with a late-season win over the Colts. 

While Barkley has been the headline grabber, McKinney has had a strong season of his own in Green Bay.

McKinney had a career-high eight interceptions, which put him second in the NFL.

Despite the ugly season, the Giants are keeping Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. 

In recent comments to the press, Schoen has vowed to build the Giants back up the “right way.”

“We’re going to build this thing the right way. I’ve got tremendous respect for ownership and what they believe in,” he said. “We have really good communication with them, and they understand where we are and where we’re trying to go. There will be no Hail Marys.”
