The Giants have added a veteran to their running back room. The team announced the signing of Matt Breida on Monday.

Breida, 27, started his career with the 49ers as a UDFA. He spent three seasons there, with his best campaign coming in 2018. He totalled 814 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, along with 261 yards and two more scores in the passing game.
San Francisco then traded him to the Dolphins as part of a draft-day deal. In his lone season in Miami, he started only one of 12 games played, recording 350 scrimmage yards. He then signed with the Bills one year ago, though again he was simply a depth piece. He played only 81 snaps, meaning it doesn’t come as a surprise he is on the move for the third consecutive offseason. Given the presence of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll in New York, though, Breida will be a familiar face for his new employers.
There are plenty of question marks surrounding the Giants’ RB room at the moment. The most important storyline with regards to the position – if not the team as a whole – is the future of Saquon Barkley. While a trade of the former No. 2 overall pick isn’t imminent, it is still a possibility. Regardless of whether or not Barkley stays in the Big Apple, there should be playing time available for Breida given the recent release of fellow veteran Devontae Booker. The speedster will look to improve a Giants offense which averaged less than 100 yards per game on the ground in 2022.
261 touchdowns. That’s gotta be some kind of record.
yeah, really! Threw me too!
Cardinals should trade for Barkley.
I know there’s injury concerns but if he can overcome it Kyler, Hopkins and Barkley would be an elite trio of attacking options in Arizona.
I’d offer Eno Benjamin and a 4th rounder for Barkley, which is probably all it takes
It would take more then that and honestly they don’t need him. James Conner killed it last year and that was with him splitting carries half the year
Georgia Southern!!
Another ex-Bills player. Gettleman did the same thing when he started, signing and trading for ex-Panthers. Let’s hope this works out better.
It’s normal because of familiarity. One thing that is different it’s Shoen and Daboll so both know him well.
