Saquon Barkley made it clear he was not signing the franchise tag that the Giants placed on him ahead of free agency in the spring, making it unlikely that he would report to training camp without a new deal.
After the team failed to reach a contract extension with its star running back, the Giants went back to the bargaining table with Barkley, and the sides have come to terms on a new one-year deal worth up to $11 million, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The contract includes a $2 million signing bonus for Barkley and beats the franchise tag number of $10.1 million that was set on him.
