Saquon Barkley Contemplates Sitting Out 2023 Season as Contract Talks with Giants Collapse

Saquon Barkley, the New York Giants' star running back, is considering sitting out the 2023 season as a response to failed contract negotiations. Barkley, who was franchise-tagged, along with two other Pro Bowl running backs, did not receive a long-term contract from the Giants before the deadline. He expressed frustration with the team and mentioned the possibility of sitting out to prove his worth. However, he also acknowledged the risks and uncertainties of such a decision, citing Le'Veon Bell's experience. Barkley believes he is the best running back in the NFL and feels the Giants were trying to take advantage of him in negotiations.
