The Giants decided not to use the franchise tag on running back Saquon Barkley before the deadline, but that doesn’t mean their relationship is over. They still have six days to negotiate exclusively with Barkley. Despite talking for over a year, they have yet to reach an agreement, with Barkley playing on an adjusted franchise tag last season. The Giants met with Barkley’s new agent at the Scouting Combine, but they have not exchanged any numbers. It seems likely that Barkley will leave the Giants after six seasons.
In the 2022 season, Barkley rushed for 962 yards with six touchdowns and had an average of 3.9 yards per carry in 14 games. He also caught 42 passes for 280 yards with four touchdowns. Since being drafted as the No. 2 overall pick in 2018, Barkley has accumulated 5,211 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns, along with 2,100 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
Barkley is now part of a free agent class that includes veteran running backs such as Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, and Austin Ekeler.
