Barkley told ESPN on Sunday that he still hasn’t signed the franchise tag offer the Giants used on him earlier this year, which prohibits Barkley from attending camp this week. "Maybe that is the naïve way to look at it, I could be completely wrong. But for me, that's how I look at it. I could be completely wrong. Hopefully. I trust in the Giants that we could get something done."
As for what happens if a deal doesn’t get done by July 17, Barkley said he would at least consider sitting out — though he’s admitted that he hadn’t thought about it much so far.
