Saquon Barkley's smart financial plan: Save Giants' salary, live off endorsements

NEW YORK -- Saquon Barkley still hasn't signed his rookie contract with the Giants, but he knows where the money is going when it starts coming in.

"I want to follow the (Raiders star) Marshawn Lynch method," Barkley, 21, said Thursday night at Yankee Stadium. "I don't want to touch that (salary). I'm going to invest it. Put it in the right people's hands, learn as I continue to make investments and live off of endorsement deals."

Barkley, who was the first prospect in the 2018 NFL Draft to sign with Nike, made his first big purchase this week when he bought his parents a new home in Pennsylvania.
