Former Bills QB Matt Barkley Sends Strong Message After Giants Promotion

Former Buffalo Bills backup quarterback Matt Barkley is getting closer to another shot to start in the NFL.

Barkley signed with the New York Giants practice squad on October 31 after Tyrod Taylor, another former Bills quarterback, was hospitalized with a rib injury. But the injuries kept coming.

A week later, the Giants announced starting quarterback Daniel Jones (torn ACL) was done for the season. On Wednesday, November 8, Barkley was elevated to the 53-man roster. While rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito will make his first-ever start against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10, Barkley is just one play away from stepping in.

However, there’s a strong chance Giants head coach Brian Daboll, Buffalo’s former offensive coordinator, makes a switch if DeVito falters. After replacing Taylor in Week 8, DeVito completed 2-of-7 passes for negative-1 passing yards, and he rushed for a touchdown. After Jones went down in Week 9, DeVito went 15-of-20 for 175 yards, a touchdown and 2 interceptions. The Giants (2-7) lost both games.

Barkley told The New York Post that he’s ready to rock whenever his number is called. “I don’t know if there is a timeline on that, or if it’s up to me or not,” he said. “I’m going to put my best foot forward and show them that it’s in me.

“The system fundamentally is what I’m used to,” Barkley noted. “It’s nearly plug-and-play. It’s just getting caught up to speed on a few things that they have changed — little modifications here and there over the last two years.”

Barkley, 33, is already familiar with Daboll’s scheme. The USC alum’s last regular-season start was with the Bills under Daboll in 2018. He threw for 232 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 41-10 win against the Jets.
