New York Giants’ running back Saquon Barkley is coming off of a torn ACL that he suffered early on during the 2020 NFL season.
Chris Roling of Bleacher Report has listed Barkley as a possible hold out this offseason. Below is a portion of what he wrote:
As the second overall pick, Barkley stands to have a sound $10 million cap hit in 2021 before a fifth-year option that would put him in the $7.2 million range. But the post-third year window is something of the norm for premier running backs and extensions given the brutal nature of the position—and Barkley’s injury could motivate this even more.
