The franchise tag extension deadline came and went on Monday with three running backs failing to get an extension from their teams: Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs have not signed their franchise tenders and are expected to hold out to start training camp, while Tony Pollard has already signed his with the Cowboys for the 2023 season.
Barkley and Jacobs both tweeted about their situations, as Barkley appears resigned while Jacobs argued he isn’t trying to “reset the market” but instead looking for a fair deal. Either way, the result means both players may not suit up again for the Giants or Raiders until September.
We never tried to reset the market
