Saquon Barkley News

  • Saquon Barkley could sit · Jun 12, 2023

    Saquon Barkley could sit out 2023 as he angles for a new contract

    Highly unlikely. Sitting out hasn't worked out well in recent years and Barkley stands to make $10.1M on his 2023 franchise tag offer. Without being close to a deal, the 26-year-old continues to sit out and things could come to a head as training camp nears. The presence of Dalvin Cook on the open market not only continues to hamper running backs looking for big contracts but, in the case of Barkley, also opens up the option that the team rescinds his franchise tag and signs Cook to a a cheaper deal. Likely? No. Possible? Yes. Found as DLF's RB5, it would seem that Saquon Barkley's situation isn't close to being resolved.

  • Saquon Barkley won't sign · Apr 12, 2023

    Saquon Barkley is not expected to sign his franchise tag offer

    Barkley won't be available to join the team for the start of the offseason program. The Giants still hope to work out a long term deal with the back so there's no reason to sound the alarm just yet. Running backs continue to fall with respect to value and compensation and while a long term deal is still possible, it seems just as likely the resurgent Barkley bets on himself for a single year. In either case, it will be a shock if DLF's RB5 isn't on the field for the Giants at the start of the regular season.

  • Saquon Barkley tagged · Mar 7, 2023

    The Giants have applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Saquon Barkley

    The non-exclusive tag means the team can match any offer given to Barkley and, should they decline, they would receive two first-round selections as compensation, an extremely unlikely possibility given the league's lack of premium given the position. Barkley bounced back mightily in 2022, rushing for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns in addition to 57 receptions as a receiver. Only 26, he has a long runway for further production as long as he can remain healthy once again. He's found as DLF's RB5.

  • Saquon Barkley may move on · Feb 20, 2023

    Free agent Saquon Barkley would become a free agent with recent news that the Giants are likely to franchise tag Daniel Jones instead

    Originally the belief was that the Giants were likely to work out a new contract with Jones, allowing them to tag Barkley but the tide has turned. Should the team choose to tag Jones, it means Barkley will be free to seek a more lucrative contract elsewhere, making it difficult for the Giants to remain in the running. Barkley had a spectacular 2022 season, largely removing lingering doubt about his ability to return to true RB1 status. Now found as DLF's RB4 and entering his age-26 season, all arrows are pointing up for the do-it-all back.

  • Saquon Barkley could be extended · Feb 8, 2023

    The expectation is that the Giants will re-sign Saquon Barkley before free agency begins

    The Giants are walking the cap tightrope with their two primary offensive pieces, Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, both free agents. Barkley is certain to be the top running back asset available if he were to reach free agency but the position doesn't possess the premium it once did and he and the team are expected to find common ground. Doing so would allow the team to focus on retaining Daniel Jones, either via contract extension or via the franchise tag. As for Barkley, DLF's RB4, he rushed for a career-high 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns while also producing 57 receptions for an additional 338 yards. Turning 26 tomorrow, the once-top back picked a fine time to reclaim his luster.

  • Saquon Barkley franchise tag amount · Feb 1, 2023

    Saquon Barkley would carry a $10.09M franchise tag amount should the Giants choose to tag him.

    The Giants have big decisions coming up as to how to apply their available cap with both Daniel Jones and Barkley free agents in 2023. The team reportedly wants to retain both players and a winning season undoubtedly increases the likelihood of that coming to pass. That said, both players will also be seeking top-dollar contracts which will make negotiations difficult. The path of least resistance would seem to point to a franchise tag application for the standout back as the team kicks the can down the road to ensure he can remain healthy and productive before deciding upon a longer-term contract in 2024. Barkley, listed as DLF's RB4, is entering his age-26 season and reclaimed his value and allure after remaining healthy for all of 2022.

  • Saquon Barkley a free agent · Jan 13, 2023

    Saquon Barkley is a free agent in 2023

    Barkley checked all the boxes in 2022 and rewarded both the Giants and his fantasy coaches with a resurgent year, rushing for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns across 295 carries. He also reeled in 57 receptions for an additional 338 scoreless yards. The soon-to-be 26-year-old will be looking for a big contract and could now receive it from the G-Men who could also choose to apply the franchise tag instead. With Daniel Jones also showing well in 2022, the team will have a dilemma as to which player to tag, while the other could receive a lucrative contract offer. Odds would seem to favor Barkley's cheaper overall price tag while the team kicks the can down the road on Jones to ensure he is, indeed, worthy of a long-term offer, though this won't play out until later this offseason. In any event, Barkley, DLF's RB4 is back on the dynasty radar as a top option after erasing previous injury concerns possessed entering 2022.
