If Barkley lands with the Texans, he'd provide a nice boost to the team's ground game that was led by Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce last season. Houston won a playoff game in CJ Stroud's rookie season, and it would make sense for Houston to go all in around the young quarterback while he's still on his rookie deal.

As for the Giants, the team appears to truly be entering a rebuild, as Barkley has been the most impactful offensive player for the team for several seasons. It'll be interesting to see if the Giants can bring Barkley back on a deal that they believe is fair for his market value.
