The New York Giants took numerous warmth for letting star operating again Saquon Barkley defect right down to Philadelphia in free company final March, solely to see him develop into one of the best model of himself.
However Barkley was not the one participant the Giants selected to not retain who ended up on the All-Professional workforce this 12 months.
Security Xavier McKinney, who signed a four-year, $67 million free agent take care of the Inexperienced Bay Packers in March, was named All-Professional and to the 2025 NFC Professional Bowl Video games roster.
Is McKinney bitter about the best way his Giants’ profession ended? He could be. He lately posted a puzzling message on his social media accounts apparently blasting the Giants and a few former teammates, one believed to be linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Xavier McKinney’s IG story after making All Professional
“To assume he ever thought he was higher than me & for them to attempt to push that”
“Anyone inform buddy to hop off the melo podcast gossiping & lock again in on his craft”

“To assume he ever thought he was higher than me and for them to attempt to push that … lol
“Oh and any person inform buddy to hop hop [sic] off the melo podcast gossiping and lock again in on his craft.
“Yeah it’s at all times smoke … keep in mind that ! Write it down take an image IDGAF !”
Thibodeaux was on Carmelo Anthony’s podcast practically a 12 months in the past and spoke about how his linebacker position equates to the protection position on the Giants’ protection. It appeared innocuous on the time. He was not disparaging McKinney or the safeties in any means.
However McKinney apparently didn’t see it that means. It seems to be as if he has numerous unresolved points together with his former workforce and Thibodeaux.
“We’re not the identical,” McKinney wrote on X.
Unsure why McKinney dug out a year-old interview and determined to taunt the Giants and Thibodeaux right here. Maybe he’s simply gloating over his success whereas his previous workforce was among the many league’s worst this 12 months.
