Saquon Barkley says he might sit out the NFL season amid contract dispute

Saquon Barkley says he has considered not playing for the New York Giants this season, admitting during a recent interview that he "might have to take it to this level" amid his stalemate with the team over a long-term contract.

Barkley discussed his "leverage" in contract negotiations with the Giants during an appearance on "The Money Matters" podcast that was recorded before Monday's deadline for franchised players to agree to long-term deals.

The Giants and Barkley did not agree to a deal before the deadline, meaning the star running back will have to play the upcoming season under the $10.091 million franchise tender.

Since he still has not signed the tender, Barkley cannot be fined for missing training camp, which begins for Giants veterans on July 25. The two-time Pro Bowler will lose money only if he misses regular-season games and has to forfeit game checks -- a possibility he acknowledged he has considered.

@ every spot would not kick it to him. OSU won those

I hope Mr. Barkley makes a shit ton of money in the NFL and doesn't die young from his job.
