00:03 - What do you think the timeline is
00:05 for Saquon Barkley this year in 2023?
00:08 - Good question.
00:11 I think when players are playing under the tag,
00:13 they do not feel motivated to show up to camp.
00:17 So I think Saquon Barkley's timeline is
00:21 week one or just before it.
00:23 You're not gonna see him play
00:24 in any of the preseason games.
00:26 I think you're not gonna see him in practice
00:27 for a long time.
00:29 He's already openly in podcast interviews,
00:32 spoken about the potential of sitting out games,
00:36 but he knows that's not his personality, A.
00:39 And B, when you're talking about getting more money,
00:41 it would be difficult to sacrifice $600,000 a game.
00:46 So we'll see exactly what happens relative to the fines
00:51 that he could accumulate,
00:55 but you know how it works with the franchise tag.
00:57 He doesn't necessarily have to be there
00:58 when he's not under a long-term contract.
01:01 So I think that's where we are.
01:03 I think Saquon, you see him suit up in week one.
01:06 I don't think he'll sit out any games,
01:08 but I wouldn't rule it out.
