The New York Giants placed the franchise tag on running-back Saquon Barkley this offseason and the 26-year-old has opened up about where he stands with the organisation.
It was always going to be either quarterback Daniel Jones or Barkley that got hit with the tag this offseason, with the other landing a new deal before the deadline. It was Jones that saw himself sign a new four-year $160million (£128.75m) deal, while Barkley was tagged to buy the Giants some more time.
The Giants and Barkley have until July 17 to negotiate a new deal, or the running-back will be contracted to $10.091m (£8.1m) for the 2023 season. Barkley is of course hoping to sign new and improved terms after a stunning season, but he isn't too concerned just yet.
