Giants GM Joe Schoen, asked if he believes Daniel Jones can win a Super Bowl, says in his answer: "We're happy he's gonna be here."

One theme of Joe Schoen's approach to the offseason signings and decisions, it appears, is that he values "in-house" knowledge of players as people, injury histories, performance. It's very clear he is prioritizing *trying* to keep the NYG UFAs who impressed him in the building
Joe Schoen said Saquon Barkley is "a guy that we'd like to have back," but he said during negotiations at the bye week, "we weren't really that close" on the value of a possible new contract. He said Barkley is a "good" football player. Those talks could get interesting
Schoen was asked 'is there anybody you said [to them] look, you're not coming back?'
He laughs. "No. We didn't have those conversations. Good question, though!"
