It came right down to the final minutes of Tuesday’s deadline, but the Giants and Daniel Jones reportedly agreed on a massive contract extension that will keep him playing in blue for the foreseeable future. As a result of the extension, New York can avoid using the franchise tag on Jones and instead place it on running back Saquon Barkley, per multiple reports.
Barkley was one of the first to celebrate Jones’s new deal publicly and was so happy for his quarterback that he took to Twitter to congratulate him after the reports started to flood social media.
“Congrats brudda!!!” Barkley said in a tweet.
