Saquon Barkley's Heavy Workload Could Impact Future Contract Negotiations

Despite the Giants' struggles and his own physical discomfort, Barkley remains committed to the game.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley is carrying a heavy workload as the team struggles, despite the potential impact on his future contract negotiations.
Barkley, who is averaging 22 carries per game since returning from an ankle injury, says loyalty means nothing in contract negotiations.
Barkley is still scarred by last season’s failed extension talks, which resulted in him playing this season on the one-year, $10.1 million franchise tag.
The Giants, who rank last in the NFL in total offense, could be hurting their own future outlook by overusing Barkley in meaningless games.
Barkley is not considering shutting down, despite playing through ankle discomfort, and is focused on the love of the game.
