Part 2/9:
Barkley has often voiced grievances about the team "screwing him over," but the documentary sheds light on a more nuanced reality. It emphasizes that the two sides were actually close on many points, especially regarding compensation. Specifically, the split was predominantly over $2 million in guaranteed money — a relatively small figure in the grand scheme of NFL contracts. According to the documentary, the Giants were willing to meet Barkley's desired salary, but the sticking point was guaranteed money, which Barkley felt he deserved.
