Giants great Carl Banks advised Barkley to swallow his pride and play out the franchise tag.
A Giants legend issued a loaded warning to Saquon Barkley.
Barkley and Big Blue were unable to come to terms on a multi-year contract, which means Barkley’s options now are to play this season for about $10.1 million on the franchise tag, or sit out and lose the prorated amount for each game., former Giants great Carl Banks advised Barkley to swallow his pride and play out the tag.“The only way that your value and your brand value stays high is to do the game that you love, that you’re great at. The system is what has suppressed running back salaries.
“I am saying this to you: Don’t be a principled fool. And I say that because, you could sit at home and nobody is paying the price. The games are going to start on time. Training camp won’t stop because you’re not there… Come in with your integrity intact and be enthusiastic. Be angry — you should be angry.”to stick it to the Giants over the failed contract negotiations.
Saquon Barkley has mulled the idea of sitting out games this season after contract negotiations with the Giants broke down.
