New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley explained Thursday why he decided to sign a new contract for the 2023 season rather than holding out.
According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, Barkley said he considered sitting out into the regular season before reversing course, adding: "I had an epiphany. I had a mindset of what I wanted to do. I changed my mind."
Rather than signing his $10.091 million franchise tender, Barkley signed an adjusted one-year, $10.091 million tender with an extra $909,000 in incentives this week.
