Offseason contract negotiations have taught Giants running back Saquon Barkley a hard lesson about life in the NFL.
The six-year veteran shared what he’s learned with reporters on Thursday. Barkley’s outlook on how teams view players in regard to money and contracts has clearly jaded him. And he likely will apply that in future talks with the Giants or any other NFL team interested in signing him.
Barkley responded to questions about his current season and how that performance might factor into negotiations for a new contract. In seven games played, he leads the Giants (2–8) with 568 yards on 139 carries.
