Giants’ Sterling Shepard on Saquon Barkley’s future: ‘He’s got to have that NY on his helmet’

Saquon Barkley has been instrumental in the New York Giants' 24-16 victory over the Houston Texans. He ran the football a career-high 35 times for 152 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for eight yards.

Giants’ Sterling Shepard believes Saquon Barkley needs to have NY on his helmet.

Saquon Barkley is in contract negotiations with the New York Giants. He was drafted with second overall pick in 2018. The Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll need to decide if he deserves to be paid beyond this season. He is second in the league in rushing yards and yards from scrimmage. Barkley doesn't see it as a foregone conclusion that he will reach an agreement with them. he wants to focus on the rest of the season and the next game against Detroit. "They spoke very highly of me. They spoke to me during the bye week. I agree with Joe. Just lock it up and worry about the whole season".
