Ep. 45 of Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard, the New York Daily News' NFL columnist and Giants beat writer. Pat explains why Saquon Barkley and the Giants failed to reach a long-term deal before the deadline for franchise tagged players to ink multi-year contracts. Pat also discusses whether a Barkley holdout or trade is possible or likely, and shares stories and insight on how the negotiations veered off track and went down this disappointing road. Pat then reviews his breaking news on Jarrad Davis' surgery and long-term absence, Anthony Blevins' hiring by the XFL's Vegas Vipers and Mike Kafka's status in the wake of Northwestern's coaching search.
