It’s been a rough week for Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Or, should we just say “running back Saquon Barkley” for the time being?
The deadline for players designated under the franchise tag to negotiate a multi-year deal with their team was July 17th at 4 pm ET. New York and Barkley’s camp let that deadline pass without a deal being struck. Barkley then tweeted that “It is what it is,” but he’s got a decision to make.
Should he suit up and play under the franchise tag despite not wanting to, or should he sit out and miss games as a form of protest (and a way to say F**k you to the Giants)?
