With the way NY Giants running back Saquon Barkley is playing to start the season, it’s no wonder so many people across the country are being left impressed with No. 26. Saquon is back, and it’s great to see. With that, though, we can’t forget that Barkley is in the final year of his contract with the G-Men, and this may be his final campaign in town.

Not only that, but if a sexy enough offer comes for general manager Joe Schoen, we could see Barkley traded before the deadline. The Buffalo Bills have already been mentioned as a possible destination for Barkley and they surely won’t be the last team he’s linked to. In this piece, we take a look at other squads that will surely be rumored to have interest in Barkley.

4. Kansas City Chiefs

Remember over the summer when the Chiefs were brought up as a team who could have interest in Barkley? While nothing has been discussed as of late, the Chiefs sure would make sense here, especially if Buffalo has their eyes on him. The Chiefs offense looked way off against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3.

That’s not something we’re used to seeing, as Patrick Mahomes remains one of the most talented signal-callers fans have seen in a long time. While the loss of Tyreek Hill has stung, there’s still plenty of weapons on KC. With that, however, something still feels a bit off with the offensive unit and Andy Reid needs to address this as soon as possible.

Barkley is the kind of guy who can not only break free for big runs, but he can also make plays catching the ball out of the backfield too. He’d become best friends with Mahomes if he were to end up playing for the Chiefs. If KC wants to send Clyde Edwards-Helaire and a draft pick, would that be enough to get Schoen interested?
