The New York Giants and running back Saquon Barkley may be no closer to resolving their contract standoff, but that hasn’t prevented the superstar from preparing for the 2023 regular season.

Barkley has been hard at work in recent months, training diligently and even getting some face-time in with his teammates. He joined them in Arizona earlier this offseason and also got together with quarterback Daniel Jones for some work last week.

Barkley and Jones were spotted throwing passes at a North Jersey High School after a couple of youth baseball teams gathered for the District All-Star Game. Among them was the son of WFAN’s Brandon Tierney.

Barkley had previously expressed displeasure with the Giants over some negotiation leaks that he felt made him look “greedy.” He also left the door open to skipping the season if the two sides are unable to come to an agreement on a long-term deal by the July 17 deadline.

But Barkley working with Jones should be viewed with optimism among fans. Although negotiations between the Giants and Barkley are a bit sour at the moment, the running back remains close with his Big Blue brethren. And it’s noteworthy that he’s putting in so much effort to prepare for the upcoming season.
