Saquon Barkley has made it clear. He doesn’t want the New York Giants to deal him prior to the NFL\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n

“Sitting here, everyone knows how I feel,” Barkley said on Thursday, via team transcript. “Everyone knows I don’t want to get traded.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think anybody in their right mind would want to get traded anywhere. It’s not an easy thing to do, you’ve got to move, I have a family. I would love to be here but like I said, it’s not in my control. My focus is to be the leader I can be for this team to try to get this thing on the right track.”<\/p>\n

Barkley knows the reality. General manager Joe Schoen and the Giants’ front office will make the final say on player transactions. And at 1-5, the Giants at least outwardly fit the mold of a team that could consider moving assets prior to the Oct. 31 trade deadline.<\/p>\n

“I can’t control that,” Barkley said. “It’s not like I’m able to make any decisions or have any say in that. The only thing that I have is the way I show up to work and the way I go out there and compete. (Those are) the things that I can control.”<\/p>\n
