Saquon Barkley could miss Week 1 if he and the New York Giants don't agree to a long-term deal.
Barkley and the Giants have until 4 p.m. ET Monday to finalize a deal. If the deadline passes, Barkley can not sign a long-term deal until after the 2023 season.
The two sides remain at a stalemate.
Barkley has made it clear that the franchise tag, which comes with a $10.1 million salary this season, is undesirable.
The last player to sit out an entire season was running back Le'Veon Bell in 2018.
