Running back Saquon Barkley, headed for a second straight season of contract negotiations with the New York Giants that could end with him being a free agent, said last week that he wants the organization to “just shoot me straight.”
General manager Joe Schoen took a step toward doing that on Monday be admitting that he won’t take using the franchise tag on Barkley for a second straight season off the table.
“Saquon and I will talk about that. That’s a tool we have at our disposal,” Schoen said during his end of season press conference.
