Saquon Barkley explains ‘epiphany’ that led to joining Giants at start of training camp: ‘Followed my heart’

At one point this offseason, Saquon Barkley admitted he was prepared to hold out of training camp as his contract negotiations with the New York Giants weren’t going the way he hoped. Both sides couldn’t find common ground, and the franchise tag extension deadline eventually passed without a signing on the dotted line for a long-term deal.

But Barkley told reporters Thursday that he “had an epiphany,” one that led to him signing his franchise tag – which the Giants bolstered a bit with some incentives – and not missing a single day of training camp despite a deal not getting done.
