The New York Giants are facing an intriguing situation with Saquon Barkley, as he has not yet signed the $10.1 million franchise tag. Barkley intends to hold out for a significantly larger deal that includes guaranteed money spanning multiple seasons. However, Giants General Manager Joe Schoen is not eager to allocate considerable salary space to the running back position.
It appears that the Giants may adopt a running back-by-committee strategy in the future following Saquon Barkley’s eventual departure. Nevertheless, a report on Thursday morning, prior to the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, suggests that the Giants are targeting a mid-round running back.
