Overview

• The film includes a July 17, 2023 phone call in which co-owner John Mara refuses Barkley’s request to seek a trade, telling him he was too valuable to the franchise.
• Footage shows GM Joe Schoen warning against a public trade demand while allowing Barkley’s agent to check his market privately during the franchise‑tag deadline period.
• New York kept Barkley for the 2023 season without trading him, then declined a second tag in 2024, after which he signed a three-year $37.75 million deal with $26 million guaranteed with the Eagles.
• Barkley says the talks felt like “a spit in my face,” adds he would have taken $10–11 million per year if handled differently, and ESPN reports a final Giants offer of $11.5 million annually with $23 million guaranteed.
• The documentary premieres Thursday ahead of Eagles–Giants and follows Barkley’s first Philadelphia season, which produced 2,005 rushing yards, an Offensive Player of the Year award, and a Super Bowl win.
