John Mara Responds to Saquon Barkley Ad

New York Giants co-owner John Mara expressed playful disappointment over Saquon Barkley’s recent Unisom commercial, which humorously referenced Mara's earlier comments about losing sleep if Barkley signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. In the commercial, Barkley sings a lullaby about his impressive 2,005 rushing yards, hinting at the Giants' struggles after his departure. Mara, who announced the retention of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll for the 2025 season, joked that he wished to be included in the ad, highlighting his family's acting lineage. Meanwhile, Barkley, who signed a lucrative contract with the Eagles, has significantly impacted the NFC East rivalry. The lighthearted exchange came amidst the backdrop of Barkley's impressive performance and the Giants' ongoing difficulties. This playful back-and-forth underscores the evolving dynamics between Mara and Barkley post-transition.
