INDIANAPOLIS - Saquon Barkley is not untouchable. The New York Giants are at least willing to entertain phone calls on the talented running back, new general manager Joe Schoen said Tuesday at the NFL combine.
This is the result of a new regime, difficult salary cap situation and an injury-filled three seasons for Barkley. The Giants are currently estimated at more than $11 million over the cap, according to the roster management system. They will have to shed excess weight by cutting or trading some quality players.
Among the possibilities appears to be moving Barkley, who is guaranteed $7.
