Giants star running back Saquon Barkley threatens holdout without long-term contract
- Saquon Barkley has not agreed to a contract for 2023 and may sit out the season if a deal isn't reached with the New York Giants.
- Barkley wants to remain with the Giants long-term but feels he deserves more respect and compensation for his contributions.
- The Giants placed a one-year, $10 million franchise tag on Barkley, who believes running backs are undervalued in the NFL.
- Contract talks have stalled, and Barkley skipped OTAs and mandatory minicamp seeking a deal worth at least $13 million per season.
- Both sides want to get an agreement done, but Barkley's options are signing the tag, holding out for a new contract, or sitting out 2023.
