Saquon Barkley On Being Loyal: 'Don't Mean Nothing'

Nov 17, 2023 8:51 AM

Coming off an offseason in which he failed to reach a long-term deal with the New York Giants, Saquon Barkley spoke about the lack of loyalty in the NFL these days.

The running back reported on the first day of training camp with an adjusted tag for one year at $10.1 million with approximately an additional $900K available in incentives.

Barkley, who leads the Giants with 568 rushing yards, was asked if being a good soldier and handling a huge workload would be viewed as a benefit when it came to getting a new contract (whether it be in New York or elsewhere) because of his loyalty to the organization.

"Loyalty means nothing," he said. "Loyalty, that don't mean nothing. No matter how loyal, no matter how committed you are, it's a business at the end of the day. That is something that I have learned."

Bears 'Confident' They Can Sign Montez Sweat To New Deal

Nov 2, 2023 10:02 AM

The Chicago Bears are "confident" they can sign Montez Sweat to a long-term deal after acquiring the defensive end in a trade with the Washington Commanders earlier this week.

Sweat, 27, is playing on the final year of his rookie deal.

"I feel really confident that we can get a deal done," general manager Ryan Poles said.

Since being drafted in the first round in 2019, Sweat is one of six players to notch at least five sacks in each of the last five seasons.

"I think it's capitalizing right now because you start to lose opportunities," Poles said about trading for Sweat. "If you look at the free agent stack now, it's going to look very different by the time you get to that point of the year because there are so many different opportunities that can pop up in terms of extensions, tags, different things like that. So, we decided with that type of player we wanted to capitalize on that now."
