Update: Saquon Barkley explains his leverage on the #Giants - 'F**k You' "My leverage is I could say, 'F--k you' to the Giants, I could say, 'F--k you to my teammates,'" "And be like, 'You want me to show you my worth? You want me to show you how... valuable I am to the team? I won't show up. I won't play a down.' And that's a play I could use." "I might have to take it to this level."

Saquon and the Giants

Teammates are probably on his side. It’s management that is doing this.

It’s time

The thing Saquon Barkley is missing is this. The Giants have a top 7 LT, a RT who has top 15 potential and a Center who will play at a pro bowl Caliber level day 1. Their Guards are good enough today and that OL right there will be good enough to support Miles Sanders, Raheim Mostert or Phillip Lindsey. There is a reason RBs don't get paid. It's always been OL/Scheme > RB, and that's not different with this Giants team and the OL they're building.

Lmfao except he wouldnt in a million years and everyone knows it. He has no leverage shoulda taken the offer in season

Great player… and great mindset for personal gain…wish he was more team friendly tho I’ll be glad to see him gone

Not going to lie, Daniel Jones getting a long-term deal before Saquon is insane. We all know who the Giants’ offense is truly built around.

Saquon is a sellout
