On Tuesday morning, the New York Giants and their star running back, Saquon Barkley, reached an agreement on a one-year, $11 million deal, including $900K in incentives.
Barkley, keen to attend training camp, and the team found common ground on a contract that could see him earn a second franchise tag next year at $13.4 million, an increase from the initial $12 million he would have received had the Giants opted to tag him again.
Barkley’s return is a significant boon for the Giants’ offense, particularly considering the multiple new acquisitions aiming to bolster the squad during this off-season.
