Saquon Barkley Contemplates Sitting Out Season as Contract Talks Fail

Saquon Barkley, running back for the New York Giants, is considering sitting out the season as a "f--k you" to the team after failed contract talks. Barkley, who is currently on a one-year franchise tag, is not expected to report to training camp and may skip regular-season games. While he acknowledges that sitting out is not something he wants to do, he is contemplating it as a way to show his worth and leverage. Barkley believes winning a championship is more important than his contract and feels disrespected by the Giants' player comparisons and offers. Negotiations for a long-term extension cannot resume until after the season.
