New York Giants has finally reached agreement to sign another top player who has threw 3,000 touchdowns
This season, Saquon Barkley will not be wearing the franchise tag.
Barkley and the New York Giants will eventually reach an agreement on a long-term contract, despite their ongoing impasse in negotiations. Barkley has stated that he will not play with the $10.9 million franchise tag that the Giants have offered him; he has not signed it yet. He has also stated that he will hold out if a long-term agreement cannot be reached with New York.
In fact, if Barkley doesn’t get his wish, ESPN’s Diana Russini claims that he may not be available for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Dianna Russini said on Wednesday, “Barkley has made it clear the franchise tag is undesirable.” “I’m told his availability for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys will be in serious question if he does not get a long-term deal from the Giants.”
Monday is the last day to sign the franchise tag. Barkley will therefore have to play the 2023 season with the one-year tag or forfeit the tag’s guaranteed pay by sitting out the season if he doesn’t sign a multiyear contract by then.
All of us are fully aware of how underappreciated the running back position is in the modern game. Actually, a running back makes significantly less than $1.8 million on average. On Spotrac, running backs are ranked 17th out of 20 positions; only fullbacks, punters, and long snappers are ranked higher. To put it another way, running back is the least paid offensive position when it comes to full-time salaries.
