Why Saquon Barkley And The New York Giants Will Reach A Deal By The Deadline

Saquon Barkley won’t be playing under the franchise tag this season.

As Barkley and the New York Giants continue to stand at a stalemate regarding negotiations, both sides will eventually come to terms on a long-term deal. Barkley has made it clear that he’s not playing under the $10.9 million franchise tag that the Giants have offered him — he has yet to sign it — and that he’ll hold out if he doesn’t get a long-term deal done with New York.
