Sirianni to consult players, brass on Barkley call
Briefly

Coach Nick Sirianni is considering whether to let Saquon Barkley attempt to break the NFL's single-season rushing record, balancing team needs and individual goals.
Sirianni emphasized the importance of collaboration in decision-making, stating, "I'll talk to our staff, I'll talk to the players, I'll talk to [general manager] Howie [Roseman], I'll talk to Mr. Lurie. I'll talk to everybody to make sure I'm making the best decision for the football team." This highlights the eagerness to involve key stakeholders in the decision process.
Reflecting on a past decision, Sirianni said, "If you think back a couple of years ago to 2021, Smitty was going for the rookie receiver record. Everybody else was resting... but we went and got him that record." This statement illustrates Sirianni's consideration of individual player achievements in the context of team strategy.
Sirianni stresses that every situation is unique when it comes to player records: "Every situation is a little different. Not saying one way or the other or how that's going to play out or even that I made a decision yet." This shows his careful approach to managing the team's dynamics.
