Trouble in the Big Apple? Saquon Barkley erases Giants from Social Media Bios

Saquon Barkley is not happy with this current contract situation. A matter of fact, he wants to paid and last night the Giants star running back let the team and fanbase know how he felt when he removed the team from his social media bios.

On both Twitter and Instagram, Barkley removed the Giants from his account. This has become a big thing for disgruntled football players. I am not sure what it really proves besides the fact he is not happy.

The Giants opted to franchise tag the two-time Pro Bowler and left him without a contract extension past the July 17 deadline.

Barkley went into a tirade on the Money Matters Podcast, saying he does not have to play for the Giants.

“My leverage is I could say, ‘F–k you’ to the Giants, I could say, ‘F–k you to my teammates,’” Barkley said.

“‘You want me to show you my worth? You want me to show you how valuable I am to the team? I won’t show up. I won’t play a down.’ And that’s a play I could use.”

Does Saquon deserved to be paid? Right now running backs in the NFL are paid less than kickers, that is a pretty wild statistic. It makes you wonder how teams value their star running backs.
