New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has once again responded to questions surrounding the future of contract rebel Saquon Barkley.
Last month it emerged that Barkley had chosen not to sign on with a franchise tag with the Giants. After the deal which saw quarterback Daniel Jones handed a four-year extension worth $160m (£130m), it was later reported that Barkley was unhappy with the franchise tag offer and wanted a contract extension with the NFL team.
The Giants still have room in their cap to be able to agree to an extension with Barkley, but have so far opted not to do so. As a result of the running back not signing the $10.1m (£8.1m) franchise tag that was placed on him, Barkley was forced to miss out on the team’s off-season training program which began last month.
