Saquon Barkley franchise tag update: What does Barkley adding CAA to negotiating team mean?

Saquon Barkley adding Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to his negotiating team as he tries to reach a long-term contract agreement with the New York Giants is an interesting twist.

What Barkley did not do is switch agents. He is still represented by Roc Nation, with Kim Miale as his representative. What Barkley has done is add CAA, which other reports have said has handled his marketing since he entered the NFL, to the group negotiating a deal with the Giants. The NFLPA database lists Ed Berry as Barkley’s CAA rep.

This type of move is not unheard of.
