Saquon Barkley and his agent, Ed Berry, knew that their private phone conversations with Giants general manager Joe Schoen might be used at some point in “Hard Knocks.’’

Everyone involved, according to a source with knowledge of the show’s inner-workings, signed off on this prior to any scene in the first two episodes hitting the screen.
Episode 3 drops at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
