The New York Giants kicked off training camp this week with running back Saquon Barkley shockingly in attendance despite rumors swirling for the past several weeks that the superstar would hold out over a contract dispute. Instead, the two sides came to an agreement on a one-year deal and Barkley is back in the building, joining the team for the start of camp.
Barkley spoke with the media following Thursday’s practice and shed insight into the negotiation process and detailed his reasons for showing up to training camp.

“I could tell you I’m not disappointed, that would be a flat-out lie,” Barkley said.
