The staggering part of the #Giants and Saquon Barkley being unable to reach a deal is how close they were. @rydunleavy’s reporting is in line with what I’ve heard regarding the spread between the sides. It seemed close enough to bridge as the deadline drew near. Didn’t happen. https://t.co/jmvi7fo9b0
