What backup RBs could the New York Giants seek in free agency?

Wayne Gallman proved this past season that he certainly has a place in the NFL. Amid the injury-related absence of Saquon Barkley (who suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2), Gallman stepped up and proved to be a significant offensive factor down the stretch, rushing for 94 yards against Cincinnati and then 135 yards in the big Week 13 win over Seattle.

But given his production, Barkley returning in 2021, and the New York Giants‘ eventual contract-related decision involving Saquon, it doesn’t seem like Gallman will remain in East Rutherford. The former fourth-round pick of 2017 will likely want to earn a decent chunk of change while competing for a starting job, and that won’t be the case with a healthy Barkley next season.
