Overview

• The film shows Barkley asking owner John Mara on July 17, 2023, for permission to seek a trade, which Mara refused, calling Barkley too valuable to the franchise.
• Barkley describes negotiations as "a joke" and "a spit in my face," and says the Giants offered about $11.5 million per year with $23 million guaranteed before the deadline.
• General manager Joe Schoen told Barkley ownership would not grant a trade and suggested his agent gauge interest privately, and the team later declined to deal him at a 2-6 2023 trade deadline.
• After New York let him reach free agency, Barkley signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract with $26 million guaranteed in Philadelphia and delivered an Offensive Player of the Year season capped by a Super Bowl win.
• This week he was listed with knee "general soreness," upgraded to limited in a walk-through, said he fully expects to play Thursday against the Giants, and has 267 rushing yards on 83 carries so far in 2025.
