The New York Giants have just ten days left to strike a deal with superstar running back Saquon Barkley. The Giants placed the franchise tag on Barkley back in February to give them extra time to work toward a long-term extension. The deadline to sign a tagged player to a multi-year extension is July 17th and there is “some level of optimism” that the two sides can get a deal done in time.
Meanwhile, Barkley is hard at work, preparing for the upcoming 2023 season. Despite being unable to attend OTAs and minicamp, Barkley has been training with teammates this offseason.
