Less than a day after Saquon Barkley’s season with the New York Giants ended, the star running back spoke to reporters Monday and delivered a direct message to franchise leadership regarding his potential to be slapped with the franchise tag again.
Barkley clearly doesn’t want prolonged drama in regard to his contract status for the second consecutive offseason.
“They did it last year. So I’m numb to it,” Barkley said of a possible second franchise tag, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “I don’t have any feelings toward that at all. If you’re gonna do it, just don’t wait until March 5. Just get it over with. If not, let me go. Simple.”
