The two-time Super Bowl champ had some advice that the former Penn State standout probably doesn't want to hear at the moment.
“The only way that your value and your brand value stays high is to do the game that you love, that you’re great at,” he added. “The system is what has suppressed running back salaries. He’s not alone … sitting out doesn’t send a message. It won’t change the system.”“I am saying this to you: Don’t be a principled fool,” he said. “And I say that because, you could sit at home and nobody is paying the price. The games are going to start on time. Training camp won’t stop because you’re not there.
“I could say, you to my teammates. And be like, ‘You want me to show you my worth? You want me to show you how valuable I am to the team? I won’t show up. I won’t play a down.’ And that’s a play I could use.”Barkley ran for 1,312 yards and caught 57 passes last season. “Anybody knows me, knows that’s not something I want to do,” Barkley said on the podcast. “Is it something that’s crossed my mind? I never thought I would ever do that, but now I’m at a point where I’m like, ‘Jesus, I might have to take it to this level.’ Am I prepared to take it to this level? I don’t know.”
