EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The business of football has left an indelible mark on New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, who stated Thursday that "loyalty means nothing."
Barkley is coming off an offseason in which he failed to reach a long-term deal with the Giants and was franchise-tagged. He reported on the first day of training camp with an adjusted tag for one year at $10.1 million with approximately an additional $900K available in incentives.
Clearly there are scars. Barkley, who leads the Giants with 568 rushing yards, was asked Thursday if being a good soldier and handling a huge workload would be viewed as a benefit when it came to getting a new contract (whether it be in New York or elsewhere) because of his loyalty to the organization.
