Overview

  • The documentary shows Barkley asking John Mara on July 17, 2023 for permission to seek a trade, and Mara declining by saying the running back was too valuable to the franchise.
  • Barkley is filmed describing negotiations as "a joke" and "a spit in my face," saying he felt the Giants tried to run him into the ground without a fair long-term offer.
  • Reported figures highlighted in the film and coverage include a Giants offer around $11.5 million per year with $23 million guaranteed, compared with his Eagles deal of three years, $37.75 million with $26 million guaranteed.
  • New York kept Barkley through the 2023 season and did not deal him at the trade deadline; he left in 2024 for Philadelphia, where he rushed for 2,005 yards, won Offensive Player of the Year and a Super Bowl.
  • Ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Giants, Barkley was listed with knee soreness (DNP estimate Monday, limited Tuesday) but said he expects to play.
