Saquon Barkley said his "eyes got big" when he was sitting at the lunch table in the cafeteria in the Giants' practice facility and first saw the huge numbers on Ezekiel Elliott's new contract come across the television screen.
But not for the reason you would think.
Barkley said he was happy for Elliott and happy to have the Cowboys running back on the field rather than holding out as the regular season begins, but gave no thought to how the extension for his Dallas counterpart will impact his own future business dealings with the Giants (or other teams).
